Continuing advances in computer technology require extruders to stay up-to-date on their Manufacturing Execution Software (MES) in order to remain competitive. As an example, newly-enhanced features and capabilities of the EPICS software from Foy Inc. will be reviewed. This paper will highlight the latest upgrades, demonstrating how new technology such as handheld devices, wireless equipment, and touchscreens can be used in the modern extrusion facility. Interfaces with third-party and customer-designed applications will be described.
