Cambridge Display Technology --CDT-- Selects Datasweep to Drive Operational Excellence.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers SAN JOSE San Jose, city, United States San Jose (sănəzā`, săn hōzā`), city (1990 pop. 782,248), seat of Santa Clara co., W central Calif.; founded 1777, inc. 1850. , Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 28, 2002 Leading Electronic Display Technology Developer for Mobile Phones and PDAs to Use Datasweep to Manage Production Operations for Improved Quality & On-time Delivery Datasweep, Inc., the leading provider of Integrated Plant Systems (IPS), today announced that leading Light Emitting Polymer See LEP. (LEP (Light Emitting Polymer) An organic polymer that glows (emits photons) when excited by electricity. LEP screens are used to make organic LED (OLED) displays and are expected to compete with LCD screens in the future. See OLED. ) technology developer Cambridge Display Technology (CDT CDT abbr. Central Daylight Time CDT Central Daylight Time CDT n abbr (US) (= Central Daylight Time) → hora de verano del centro; (BRIT ) has selected Datasweep for its pilot manufacturing and technology development operations. Using Datasweep's flagship Datasweep(R) Advantage(TM) product suite, CDT gains the market's leading Web-based manufacturing solution to provide enhanced visibility, control and a complete system of record for critical manufacturing processes. Now CDT can leverage the Web for greater control of manufacturing processes that can in turn be replicated for use by CDT's licensees around the world. CDT selected Datasweep for its highly flexible Web-based operations management Operations management is an area of business that is concerned with the production of goods and services, and involves the responsibility of ensuring that business operations are efficient and effective. solution capable of tracking and enforcing standards across multiple manufacturing processes to improve cycle times, quality, and on-time delivery. Recently named as one of Europe's 50 hottest Tech Firms by Time Magazine (July, 2002), CDT holds the fundamental international patents on a cutting edge technology for Light Emitting Polymers (LEP) that will dramatically improve the way people access and display visual data for communications, information management and entertainment applications. "CDT selected Datasweep after a vigorous process comparing them with other potential suppliers because they offered a more comprehensive data collection system, design-to-manufacture features and more cost-effective implementation for our field of use," said Mike Urwin, director of Manufacturing Technology for CDT. "Datasweep gives us the edge with an integrated solution for Web-based traceability to drive cutting edge product development. We see them as a true partner that will grow with us and support our mission to provide a world class manufacturing and R&D facility for LEP." "We've grown globally with large multi-national customers and are pleased to build our international presence with our first UK-based customer," said Vladimir Preysman, president and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. of Datasweep. "For display manufacturers such as CDT, Datasweep's comprehensive product suite not only provides critical real-time data Real-time data denotes information that is delivered immediately after collection. There is no delay in the timeliness of the information provided. Some uses of this term confuse it with the term dynamic data. but analytics, workflow and supply chain visibility to drive operational excellence across the entire organization." By deploying the Datasweep Advantage suite across their production operations, CDT will be able to spot trends in quality and production to focus improvement efforts throughout the product life cycle, in real time. CDT required a highly flexible system to handle the production process, including keeping track of engineering change orders. CDT plans to use the Datasweep Advantage integrated suite to control each stage of manufacturing for all assembly and process stations, provide real-time analysis of test data for pass/fail, and provide alerts on Key Performance Indicators Key Performance Indicators (KPI) are financial and non-financial metrics used to quantify objectives to reflect strategic performance of an organization. KPIs are used in Business Intelligence to assess the present state of the business and to prescribe a course of action. (KPIs) to production managers and company executives. After deploying Datasweep Advantage software, CDT will have one web-based system for as-built data and analysis to drive improved quality, yield and standardize processes over time. About CDT Cambridge Display Technology (CDT) is a privately held company privately held company A firm whose shares are held within a relatively small circle of owners and are not traded publicly. leading the research, development and commercialization of polymer technology for flat panel displays, lighting, and photovoltaics. CDT's light emitting polymer (LEP) technology is targeted for use in a wide range of electronic display products used for information management, communications and entertainment. Features include reduced power consumption, size, thickness and weight, very wide viewing angle, superior video imaging performance and the potential to produce displays on plastic substrates. To date, licenses have been granted to Delta Optoelectronics, DuPont Displays, MicroEmissive Displays, OSRAM, Philips, and Seiko-Epson. About Datasweep Datasweep is a leading provider of Web-based Integrated Plant Systems (IPS) to manage production operations and provide visibility and control at every stage of the product lifecycle Product lifecycle or product life cycle is the course of a product's sales and profits over time. The five stages of each product lifecycle are product development, introduction, growth, maturity and decline. . The Datasweep Advantage suite enables global manufacturers and their supply chain partners to leverage the Internet to gain visibility, corrective action A corrective action is a change implemented to address a weakness identified in a management system. Normally corrective actions are instigated in response to a customer complaint, abnormal levels if internal nonconformity, nonconformities identified during an internal audit or and management by exception for improved quality, on-time delivery and reduced operational costs. Customers include General Electric (GE), Johnson & Johnson (JNJ JNJ Johnson and Johnson (stock symbol) JNJ Journal of Nursing Jocularity ), Lucent (LU), Flextronics International, Ltd. (FLEX), KLA-Tencor Corp. (KLAC), Harris Corp. (HRS), Finisar (FNSR) and Sonosite (SONO). Additional information can be found on the Internet at www.datasweep.com. |
