Neonlite Selects Infor to Illuminate Manufacturing and Logistics Processes
Infor Warehouse Management, RFID and ERP Solutions to Help Lighting Products Manufacturer Reduce Waste and Improve Production Capacity.
Atlanta, GA, January 14, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Infor today announced Neonlite Electronic & Lighting (HK) Ltd., one of the world’s top manufacturers of energy-saving lighting products, has selected Infor SCM Warehouse Management Enterprise Edition and Infor SCM RFID as part of a strategic initiative to maximize efficiencies and reduce waste in its manufacturing and distribution operations.
Neonlite, maker of the popular MEGAMAN brand, is headquartered in Hong Kong and has four manufacturing facilities located in Xiamen, China and distributes its products to more than 80 countries. Neonlite specializes in energy efficient lighting products, and is seeing strong growth as consumers and businesses seek to replace incandescent and halogen lights with environmentally friendly alternatives.
Neonlite is an existing user of Infor ERP SyteLine, which has powered its manufacturing operations for the past eight years. As part of a strategic initiative called W.A.R.E. (Warehouse Management, Automatic Storage/Retrieval, RFID and ERP), Neonlite is creating a single, integrated system to aid inbound logistics, raw materials management and manufacturing work-in-process. Neonlite selected Infor for Warehouse Management and RFID solutions to extend Infor ERP SyteLine and help the company move forward and achieve its strategic objectives.
“Our manufacturing facilities are state-of-the-art and adhere to the highest international standards for quality. As an ERP SyteLine user for a number of years, it was a great relief to us to find that Infor had acquired additional supply chain management solutions that could help us upgrade our logistics processes and streamline them with manufacturing,” said David Fan, Senior Group IT and Systems Operations Manager, Neonlite. “Infor has been a strong partner in helping us achieve our goals in manufacturing, so we knew that we could trust their domain experts and solutions.”
“Our goal is to achieve a return on investment in two years. We can achieve this with the help of Infor’s solutions, which will play a key role in reducing material waste and improving production capacity through a closed loop manufacturing and distribution process,” said Fan.
Infor SCM Warehouse Management and Infor SCM RFID will play a pivotal role in Neonlite’s inbound logistics operations. Infor SCM Warehouse Management will enable Neonlite to improve the management of production materials moved between its facilities and suppliers, while Infor SCM RFID will aid in shop floor management of inventory. Together with the automated storage and retrieval systems, the company will have a closed-loop logistic management solution that increases the utilization of materials, reduces waste and, together with Infor ERP SyteLine, improves production capacity. The integrated systems reduce data duplication and provide visibility from raw materials on-hand to the finished product.
As an environmentally aware company, Neonlite is committed to reducing the impact of its operations across the product lifecycle, from design and manufacturing to packaging and transportation, disposal and recycling. By improving efficiency and reducing material waste and consumption in its manufacturing and distribution processes, Infor solutions will help Neonlite in its continuous efforts to implement sustainable practices, and provide green lighting products that, in turn, help customers reduce their own energy consumption.
“Neonlite is a forward-thinking manufacturer combining technology and best practices to become more efficient, productive and profitable,” said Lawrence Chan, President, Asia Pacific, Infor. “This project shows that Infor can provide a complete manufacturing and supply chain solution that fits the requirements of the most advanced companies. As Neonlite continues to grow, Infor has the solutions and know-how to support their needs in areas like outbound logistics or asset management.”
Neonlite is currently implementing the solutions at one of four facilities in Xiamen, with plans to roll out to additional facilities.
