Wheeling Corrugating Partners with AMS

AMS Controls was recently selected by Wheeling Corrugating to integrate and upgrade control systems on roll forming and metal folding machines across their ten North American facilities. The integration of these controllers means real time uploading and downloading of information direct from the front office and ERP system to the production machinery via AMS' advanced Eclipse production management software.

Wheeling Corrugating, a division of Severstal Wheeling, is headquartered in Wheeling West Virginia. Wheeling is one of America's leading fabricators of roll formed products for residential, agricultural, construction, highway, and bridge building markets.

John Cramer, Engineer of Facilities and Services at Wheeling says the project is going well; "AMS was selected to help Wheeling eliminate errors by automating the process of order receipt through the ERP system and directly routing the production information to the production machines."

Cramer says ability to tie into Wheeling's new computer system was key in their decision to partner with AMS for seamless uploading and downloading of order and completion information; "not only will the upload / download help minimize errors, it will also help increase production and lower operating costs since the operators will no longer have to spend time inputting orders manually."
