PHILADELPHIA - Kimball  Electronics Group, an EMS company with divisions worldwide, plans to purchase Aegis Industrial Software Corp. NPI and MES software modules for all divisions. Kimball's goal is to first integrate all operations at their headquarters in Jasper, IN, and then expand the software interface to their divisions worldwide within one year.

Greg Carmer, CAD/CAM engineering & document control manager at Kimball said, "We're beginning an international rollout. We have plants in Poland, Thailand and Mexico, two plants in Jasper and one in Auburn, Indiana. We're 'going live' with the software in Thailand by the end of June following the successful implementation at Poland in March. We're doing a phased approach to the software, choosing those plants that would most benefit from the capabilities - those with the most urgent business needs."

Kimball selected Aegis CircuitCAM, CheckPoint, Fusion iServer and iView modules with multiple machine interfaces for this project.
