Custom Molding Manufacturer Implements a Mobile Computer Solution for IQMS Application

Objective

With three locations in the United States, Molded Dimensions Group is a leader in designing and manufacturing molded rubber parts, coupled with capabilities for full-service plastic injection molding and a broad range of urethane molding. With a global reach in both production and fulfillment, their operations require a high level of attention to detail and efficiency.

IQMS is an all-in-one manufacturing system for production planning, inventory management, and order fulfillment. For most applications, the DELMIAWorks platform is accessed via a telnet session. Therefore, compatibility with a leading provider of terminal emulation software such as StayLinked was also required.

Solution

IQMS Analyst Heriberto Castillo at Molded Dimensions Group reached out to AML to inquire about a solution. Heriberto was already familiar with AML after working together on a mobile computer project at his previous employer. With more than 20 years of experience working with the IQMS platform—now known as DELMIAWorks—AML has completed hundreds of mobile computer installations for its users. Heriberto was interested in testing the Striker Mobile Computer once again.

AML presented the Android-based mobile computer Striker to the Molded Dimensions Group team. After a quick setup process, the IT department at Molded Dimensions Group connected to their DELMIAWorks application with no issues. AML was also able to confirm compatibility with StayLinked for Telnet sessions. Deploying the Striker mobile computers in the manufacturing facility allowed Molded Dimensions Group the ability to streamline all inventory-related tasks using both platforms.

Summary

After a successful installation of Strikers at the HQ in Wisconsin, Molded Dimensions Group has purchased additional Strikers for other facilities. Heriberto mentioned that with the Strikers, his team has been able to do physical inventory, shipping, movements, receiving, and inventory searches.

“The Strikers are pretty easy to use and implementation was easy,” Castillo said. “I’ve been working with Dan for over 4 years now I believe, and he has made everything easy for me. I first worked with him with Everest Formulations when I needed new scanners. I am now with Molded and was able to get contact with Dan to purchase new scanners and more scanners in our Fife brother company at Washington. He has been amazing! He made purchasing and implementation easy. I will recommend it to everyone I will work for and peers.”
