Challenge	Jonal Laboratories, a company that creates compounds and turns those into seals for the aerospace industry, was facing challenges with their old systems. They were using an AS400 system from the late ‘80s for most of the manufacturing side, Excel for quality, and QuickBooks and Excel for their accounting system. It was difficult to find information, and even when you did, you couldn’t be sure it was accurate and up to date. The old systems were making it much harder to train new people and keep jobs moving in the shop. As they hired a lot of new employees, they realized that their systems didn’t make sense to outsiders. They needed a system that could make their specialized knowledge easy to find and ensure that they’re looking at current information. Read More
About Customer	Jonal Laboratories is a company that was started in 1965 by Jon Nemeth, a chemist. The company creates compounds and turns those into seals for the aerospace industry. They make their own rubber for seals that are sometimes fabric-reinforced, so they can make them whatever shape or size is needed. They can create seals up to 13 feet by 2 feet or O rings up to 6 feet in diameter. One of their parts is even used in spacesuits. To make parts for these industries, Jonal Laboratories needs to produce exactly the right part on time and with high-level quality. Over the years, they’ve used a few different systems to make that happen. Read More
Solution	Jonal Laboratories implemented E2 MFG to help organize, automate, and grow their operations. E2 MFG tied everything together, ensuring that they were looking at current information and that they could input data once and it immediately updates throughout the system. This made it easier for them to find information and ensured its accuracy. E2 MFG also helped Jonal Laboratories automate parts of their processes. The operators could just walk up, scan their job, scan the materials for the batch number and the material name, go to the job, and scan a barcode next to the quantity. This eliminated the need to look on the shop floor to get answers and have frequent meetings, saving them a lot of time. Read More Log in to view content
