Micrel
Increases Speed, Efficiency and Accuracy with Eagle's RF Express for QAD
MFG/PRO
KINNELON, N.J.—(BusinessWire)—June 11, 2001—A growing
business and the need for increased speed, efficiency and accuracy took
Micrel, Inc. (NASDAQ: MCRL) in
search of an on-line, real-time automated data collection and bar coding
solution. Roland Carlson,
Micrel’s chief information officer, said, “We looked at three
different solutions and chose Eagle’s RF Express because of the size of
their customer base, their reputation, and their experience with QAD
MFG/PRO, our enterprise solution.”
Micrel, as a leading manufacturer of advanced, high-performance
communications, clock management, mixed signal, analog and power ICs, was
striving for zero shipping errors. But,
the combination of a growing product line with hard-to-read part numbers
was a challenge. “RF
Express eliminated a lot of the manual work that could contribute to
errors,” said Carlson. Eagle
Consulting and Development’s solution didn’t change the workflow, but
streamlined it. “There was a big savings in time,” added Carlson.
Installing a key component of an enterprise solution can be a daunting
task, but not for Micrel. “RF
Express is a straightforward system—there are no complexities to
installing, using and being effective with it,” said Carlson.
“And, that’s a key point.
Sometimes you buy a system and the next thing you know it’s so
massive that it takes a lot of time before you realize any benefit from
it. This solution slipped
right in,” said Carlson.
Eagle Executive Vice-President of Marketing and Sales Bill Paone says,
“Eagle’s plug-and-go automated data collection and bar coding
capabilities gave Micrel the ease of implementation they desired as well
as the speed, efficiency and accuracy they set out to achieve.”
