PRESS RELEASE: HP Selects EazyWorks
HP Selects Manufacturing Execution Software from EazyWorks

EZ-MES will be used by HP Labs for controlling production in their
flexible display manufacturing line in Palo Alto, CA.
MONROVIA, Calif – February 23, 2010. EazyWorks LLC, a developer of software applications
for high tech manufacturing companies announced that the world’s largest technology
company, Hewlett Packard Corporation, has selected the EazyWorks manufacturing execution
system EZ-MES to support the manufacturing of flexible displays.
HP has developed an award winning manufacturing process for self-aligned imprint
lithography, which uses 3D imprint lithography to define electronic circuitry on
large rolls of thin plastic. This allows the creation of fine circuit geometries
on thin and flexible substrates without expensive alignment steps. While developing
this process HP needed to implement a complex manufacturing control system, that
would allow them to track material through the manufacturing process, collect process
related data, and quickly modify the process as it was being developed.
“As we ramp our manufacturing capabilities a manufacturing execution system is critical
for us to adhere to high-quality standards while remaining cost conscious. After
an extensive evaluation, EZ-MES was selected because we found it to be the most
flexible product for making the constant changes necessary to support an evolving
manufacturing process, plus it was the most cost effective. An unexpected benefit
was its ability to easily handle remote access in a secure IT environment”, said
Carl Taussig, Director of the Information Surfaces Lab for HP Palo Alto.
By selecting the browser based product HP was able to have their one-man implementation
team work with the EazyWorks support staff to have a fully functional MES implementation
up and running in approximately two weeks. Marcel van der Vliet, CEO for EazyWorks,
stated, “During the evaluation HP challenged us to prove EZ-MES could meet their
requirements. Then, after making the selection, they asked us to support a rapid
implementation. It was definitely a challenge and I’m glad we were able to meet
and hopefully exceed their expectations. In addition, we are extremely excited to
add a customer the size and stature of HP to our client base”.
