Colorcon has implemented ClearOrbit's Extended Mobile Applications (X.MA) for data capture and process automation for its global supply chain operations.
Colorcon is a provider of pharmaceutical technologies and a manufacturer of specialty chemicals. From its global data center in Pennsylvania, Colorcon manages supply chain transactions at more than 20 facilities across North America, Asia, Latin America, and Europe.
The Extended Mobile Applications (X.MA) for Oracle's Process Manufacturing (OPM) is integrated into Colorcon's operating processes. Leveraging the OPM data model enables real-time visibility into Colorcon's global inventory and supply chain movement. Direct integration also allows Colorcon to avoid the development of customized middleware operating on independent databases. Immediate benefits include increased transaction accuracy with a significant reduction in human errors. Colorcon also improved material movement and receiving efficiency without adding staff.
"Our globalization strategy, combined with our need to manage and scale a truly global supply chain, required that we adopt the most advanced mobile data capture and transaction processes," said Perry Cozzone, CIO of Colorcon. "ClearOrbit's ability to simplify and leverage bar code and mobile transactions within our existing OPM system was a critical component in our decision to move away from the more traditional best-of-breed‚ application we had been using. ClearOrbit's built-in RF capabilities, combined with outstanding reliability and stability, gives Colorcon a future-ready‚ platform to meet our growth and productivity goals."
