I/Gear Expands Into Canada

I/GEAR CORPORATION, LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY – I/Gear incorporated, a world leader in manufacturing solutions is pleased to announce their expansion into the Canadian market with a physical sales and solution support presence in London, Ontario. The decision to extend its operations into Canada has been largely due to the significant increase in Canadian and U.S. companies utilizing I/Gear’s suite of software products - companies such as Accuride, Dana Corporation, and Magna among them. I/Gear software provides manufacturers the ability to rapidly deploy solutions to include manufacturing intelligence, dynamic scheduling, error proofing, traceability, build to broadcast, advanced notification and visual communication/reporting.

In this day and age, manufacturers are under intense pressure to improve product quality and reduce costs. I/Gear enables manufacturers to achieve six sigma and lean manufacturing status. With I/Gear, the manufacturing process is directly influenced and products are built with tailored accuracy.

I/Gear enables peak performance by offering more than a reporting solution. Like the dashboard in a car, I/Gear’s integrated manufacturing software presents real-time and historical information. A dashboard alone, however, will not allow you to reach your destination.

To excel in a global economy, you must move beyond analysis and continuous improvement discussions. You need technology that works 24x7 to maneuver around real-time, manufacturing roadblocks. I/Gear enables agile manufacturing with software that: dynamically adjust schedules based on equipment status, drives customer order and product specification data directly to the shop floor, notifies appropriate personnel of concerning situations as they occur, and prevents process errors and product defects from ever occurring by validating assembly interlocking equipment if necessary.

I/Gear facilitates timely communication and reliable omni-directional data transport throughout the entire manufacturing enterprise, providing you both visualization and control of your plant. At the foundation, I/Gear platform products provide a common infrastructure for data integration and presentation. Upon this solid foundation, I/Gear offers a suite of modules that enable you to deploy solutions tailored to the specific needs of your company in days, not weeks.

Integrated Manufacturing Leader
"I completed a six-week data collection project in just one week with I/Gear DTU… DTU's strengths are its diversity of connections and speed of configuration. More reliable than custom software code and other data collection methods. Rock solid performance.”
- Project/Team Leader, Advanced Mfg. & Eng. Systems., London, Ontario

"We assemble steer and drive axles just-in-time and just-in-sequence in a lot size of one… Our Assembly Fail Safe system, based on I/Gear DTU, ensures that our axles are assembled to the correct specification in the same order that our customer's trucks are scheduled to roll down their assembly line."
- Director of Operations, Commercial Vehicle Systems, Kalamazoo, MI
