One of their customers is Paul Michaels , director of aerospace at Boyd Corporation . Michaels has worked with Xemelgo for two years and said he is an advocate for what they are doing . “ They are leaning forward to embrace technology .” Boyd has opted for an RFID tracking system from Xemelgo . “ We have about 3,000 jobs at a given moment , 24 hours a day . Those are all physical job tickets – tracking movement , tracking lost job tickets , finding , and updating tickets , and updating changes from customers . Xemelgo has helped us to be smarter about manual tracking .”
Michaels said that in a company the size of Boyd , there are thousands of jobs at each workstation . It is hard to track if someone needs to remember a routing number or any number of items . Now with the tracking system , they can pinpoint exactly where a job is in the factory . They used to have people spending time trying to track things down – something like a purchase order change . They can find a project in a stack of paper . He said , “ What they ’ ve done is scratching the surface ” of what they may be able to do at Boyd .
He added that many software solutions are “ off the shelf , out of the box , but not with the customization factor we needed .” He shared that Rogers and Tadinada came to the facility and asked , “ What do you do ? What do you make ? What are the challenges in your company ?” They watched a job from start to finish . He added , “ They never said , ‘ We have this great software to sell you .’ They ping us with proactive engagement and offer a solution .”
