Expands Use of AXIS ERP Solution to New Plants
AXIOM® Now Streamlining Operations at
Three Locations
AXIS Computer Systems Inc., the leading supplier of Enterprise
Resource Planning (ERP) solutions for the metals, wire and
cable industries, announces that Copperfield LLC, a growing
Indiana-based producer of insulated and fabricated copper
wire, has extended deployment of the AXIOM Enterprise Resource
Management System to two new plants. The new plants are located
in Nogales, Arizona and Lafayette, Indiana. The Lafayette
plant was recently acquired from Essex Electric Inc. AXIOM
is a comprehensive business system providing integrated support
for sales, production, quality, and financial management for
wire and cable manufacturers.
The decision to expand the AXIOM implementation followed
Copperfield’s initial AXIOM implementation at the Company’s
Bremen, Indiana headquarters and manufacturing facility. That
site went live with sales, purchasing, finance, and a subset
of AXIOM manufacturing applications in January 2003. Based
the success of that effort, Copperfield began replacing the
existing systems at the new plants with the AXIOM solution
shortly thereafter. They went live with the same functions
in the summer, and all three sites then expanded their implementations
into the remaining AXIOM manufacturing and cost management
applications in November.
Copperfield produces insulated copper wire in a variety of
gauges, as well as flat and round cords. Markets served include
appliance, automotive, recreational vehicle, electrical distribution,
electric motor, and cord set manufacturers. Copperfield products
are available in a variety of colors, produced in short or
long runs, and with some of the shortest lead-times in the
industry. The Company also sells bare and tinned copper wire
to the insulating wire market.
