Norgren Automation Solutions Upgrades to Epicor Vantage for Enterprise Data Sync
Case study of Norgren Automation Solutions migrating from customized Epicor DataFlo to Vantage to synchronize ERP data across sites and support lean manufacturing.
After a company merger, Norgren Automation Solutions replaced its heavily modified Epicor DataFlo system with Epicor Vantage. The upgrade addressed the need for standardized data synchronization across multiple plants while preserving lean practices. Key prior customizations included web-based quoting and real-time production scheduling that raised on-time delivery from 60-70% to 99%. The transition supports high-mix, low-volume engineered products and international demand with reduced waste and maintained customer service levels.
