ACD Implements Factory-Wide TTC Solution from Cogiscan
03 October 2012
RICHARDSON, TX ― October 2012 ― ACD, a leading supplier to the electronics industry, announces the successful implementation of a factory-wide Track, Trace and Control (TTC) Solution from Cogiscan, the leading track, trace and control solutions provider for the electronics manufacturing industry.

“ACD recently expanded our certified offering from ISO 9002 and 13485 certification to include AS9100 Rev C, the quality management system (QMS) standard for the aviation, space and defense industries. Cogiscan will reinforce both our ISO 13485 and AS9100 quality systems, so we are especially excited to launch their TTC Solution,” commented, Scott Fillebrown, President & CEO at ACD.

The Cogiscan TTC Solution replaces ACD’s incumbent MES software. Cogiscan was selected to replace the legacy system due to its proven track record to deliver on its commitments. The Cogiscan software architecture is very open for seamless integration with existing systems. This enables ACD to handle simple integration projects with internal development resources.

François Monette, Co-President at Cogiscan commented: “ACD is truly a showcase account for Cogiscan. They have enjoyed very fast growth over the years in good part because they recognize the strategic value of manufacturing software as a competitive edge to deliver more customer value. Before we started working together they went through a learning curve, finding out what works well and what does not. The fact that such a software-savvy company selected Cogiscan among all software vendors on the market is a great recognition for all the hard work that our team has invested into our products and services over the years.“

The TTC Solution covers all material at ACD, including printed circuit boards (PCBs), electronic components, tooling (feeders, stencils) and consumables (solder paste, etc.) from receiving to shipping.
