Robesonia, PA - CIMNET, Inc., a developer of Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) and Manufacturing Intelligence software, announced that Tyson Foods Inc., a Fortune 100 Food company, has selected CIMNET's manufacturing execution system (MES), Factelligence Industrial Portal as Tyson's MES software tool.

Under the terms of the Software subscription and Master services Agreements, Tyson has the ability to rollout Factelligence Industrial Portal to all of their manufacturing facilities worldwide, which could exceed one-hundred (100) facilities over the next five to six year period. Tyson's current MES team (a combination of Tyson and CIMNET engineers) completed the initial design and proof of concept using Factelligence at Tyson's Green Forest Plant in a remarkably short two month period. The team was able to accomplish this because the product was configurable to match the business process instead of reengineering the business process to fit technology limitations. The current project includes integration between the Factelligence suite of applications and existing factory equipment and existing business systems. The implementation also includes user interfaces developed for use on hand held wireless devices, browser-based operational reports including Key Performance Indicators (KPI's), Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) statistics, as well as genealogy, yield and consumption reports.

"Tyson Foods implementation of CIMNET's Factelligence Industrial Portal demonstrates the value of manufacturing control and visibility in today's manufacturing environment," said John Richardson, CIMNET's CEO. "It's another demonstration of CIMNET's clear leadership in delivering highly configurable MES solutions to the manufacturing industry. We're committed to helping our customers achieve their goals of high quality and improved yields with continued manufacturing improvements. We anticipate that other potential customers will follow Tyson's lead and deploy Factelligence to improve the efficiency of their manufacturing processes."
