Elimination of Costly Errors on Factory Floor
Increased BoM accuracy brings increased product quality, better yield on raw materials… and lower production costs.
Rapid ROI
Agni Link usually pays for itself very quickly. Recovery periods of 180 days or less are not uncommon.
Guaranteed on-Budget Implementation
With Elmo Solutions’ fixed fee programs, configuration and deployment are done for a fixed fee, no matter how complex your requirements are. Guaranteed cost… Guaranteed peace of mind!
Automatic Error Detection and Correction
Agni Link’s unique architecture allows automatic resolution of discrepancies, based on rules over which the customer has complete control. Another way we can maximize engineering time.
No Programming. Ever.
