Apex Circuit picks SYSPRO for ERP

Printed circuit board maker Apex Circuit has chosen SYSPRO to provide a new ERP system for 150 concurrent users...

A leading Thai manufacturer of double-sided and multi-layer printed circuit boards (PCBs), Apex Circuit was established in 2001 and has grown rapidly to employ around 2000 people.

The company produces about 130,000 square meters of PCBs a month – roughly the area of 20 football fields – to supply global manufacturers such as Canon, Samsung, Epson, Sharp, Sony and Thomson.

Its PCBs can be found in virtually every type of electronic product from televisions to white-goods, telephones and computer equipment.

With an accounting system that was failing to meet its growing requirements and no existing ERP system, Apex Circuit sought a solution that could integrate its separate databases, provide more comprehensive reporting plus improve inventory and job scheduling across its two separate manufacturing plants.

SYSPRO is currently being implemented and is scheduled to go live late this year. Running off a single server in both Thai and English, the system will integrate the production, distribution and financial processes of Apex.

The new system will assist with managing capacity and production planning to meet customers’ varying deadlines, management of shelf life of circuit boards (First In, First Out) and improve business intelligence. SYSPRO will also be linked to signage around the plant to enable live displays of measurements of quantity, quality and defects.
