Toronto, Ontario--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Eyelit, Inc., a manufacturing software provider for visibility, control, and coordination of manufacturing operations for the aerospace & defense, electronics, life sciences, semiconductor and solar industries, announced today that Infotonics Technology Center (ITC) in upstate New York has selected Eyelit's Enterprise Manufacturing Execution ("MES") and Quality Management Software Suite for improving overall process control in its state-of-the-art, collaborative manufacturing facility.

By catering to numerous corporations and universities, in collaboration with the State of New York, ITC has established itself as the premier manufacturer in the development and commercialization of innovative MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems) based photonic and microsystems technologies. Control and stability of newly defined processes and processing equipment is critical to the success of any new product development. Eyelit's Manufacturing Execution System and Asset Management software packages will provide Infotonics with the informational data centers necessary to define, analyze and control the processes and products their customers are defining.

"Eyelit's solution caters to ITC's needs on two levels," said Crispin Panyard, Vice-President of Operations for Eyelit. "First, the Center needed an easy-to-deploy, user-friendly software package that allows everyday users to rapidly define and change processes on their own. Second, it required an off-the-shelf package that replaces ITC's existing traceability system as well as providing additional benefits to support the company's rapid growth."

"Eyelit's solution was attractive, as it seems to have become the de facto standard among MEMS companies," said Glenn Fricano, Vice-President of Marketing and Sales for ITC. "It is very important in the manufacturing of microsystems to be able to connect the front-end (wafer fab) process seamlessly with the back-end assembly. Eyelit's MES provides the capability, which allows us to understand how certain variables may affect the results of our processes. This knowledge helps empower our customers to bring their products to market faster."
