More than forty years after inventing the Unit Production System (UPS), Eton Systems marks its presence in the CISMA 2009 by displaying its latest manufacturing and management solutions.
“Today’s apparel and textile manufacturers are challenged to produce greater product variety in even faster delivery cycles,” states Eton Vice-President Mikael Davidson. “Not only do high levels of manual handling and excess work-in-process increase costs, they add process time and create barriers to the flexibility and speed these industries need to compete,” Davidson adds.
“The requirement for shorter production series and greater flexibility lead us to develop the ETON 5000 System. With the support of our customers, we have taken flexibility and modularity to a new level. This system enables apparel and sewn products companies to increase productivity, improve quality and deliver quicker than ever before; even as they produce smaller order sizes and shorter cycles,” adds Davidson.
The ETON 5000 system features undoubtedly the best practices available to apparel and home textile producers. This system advances Eton’s philosophy of the past 40-years: To build modularity (in other words, implementation in parts of a sewing line) and flexibility (to be able to adjust to operation and material and to height of the operator and workstation) into every one of its custom-configured systems. This enables apparel manufacturers to keep their options open for future reconfiguration or expansion according to changes in their business needs and models. The ETON 5000 System represents another step forward by delivering even greater customer value and flexibility while reaffirming its position as the top apparel return-on-investment opportunity.
Eton Systems has successfully implemented more than 4,000 of its productivity solutions in nearly every part of the globe and in virtually every type of sewn-products manufacturing environment.
