Pro Powder Success with Steelhead's MES Technology Mentioned in Finishing & Coating Magazine

pro powder article

One of our incredible clients, Pro Powder, was highlighted in Finishing and Coating Magazine! Their journey of upgrading manual, paper processes to a digital solution was documented for job shops across North America to learn from.

Manufacturing systems are not all created equal. Many enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems were designed for standard services and products, and most small job shops require customized solutions specific to their offering and production lines. Generally, ERP systems have a record of being slow, unreliable, and incredibly time-consuming to implement. Training all plant operators is another challenge due to the clunky, complex interface.

On the alternative, manufacturing execution systems (MES) were an option but notorious for not having enough for the price you pay. Traditionally slow with low user adoption, MES solutions trigger red flags for small shops on tight budgets with increasing demands.

Pro Powder found another solution that was deployed in just a couple of weeks. The plant operators were trained on the plant management solution in minutes and the data insights this digital transformation provided is a game changer.
