Press Release Summary: EVS Formula-based ERP Profiled in AutomationMedia.com

Press Release Body: Manufacturing journalist, Thomas R. Cutler, profiles the
increasing rigor that Food Automation Operations are facing in the February issue of
AutomationMedia.com. According to Cutler, "New food industry dynamics require that
sustainability must be a priority; in an era of cost-cutting food automation, food
operations professionals, from plant managers to quality managers, must implement
innovative technologies and form alliances with outside experts. One of the central
distinctions of food automation is developing the right mix of innovative niche food
products and line expansions which produce the best bottom line impact."

With the possible exception of pharmaceutical manufacturing, no industry sector is
similarly exposed to the quality manufacturing requirements as the food industry.
Building core competencies, effective tracking and tracing programs are not
optional; regulatory compliance requires it. From raw material control processors to
state-of-the-art software solutions, leading and lean methodologies drive a distinct
competitive advantage for even the smallest food operations.

According to Evan Garber, President of Escape Velocity Systems,
(www.evs-sw.com), which specializes in technology solutions for the food industry,
"High competition, highly variable material costs, regulatory requirements and
quality management are some key challenges to food industry profitability. To
succeed, food manufacturers must have a firm and immediate grasp of production and
product margins.they must also be able to make timely sales and operational
decisions based upon accurate data. Only with a coherent, cohesive data repository
with efficient work flows can food manufacturers manage these complex issues."

As food manufacturers respond to the demands for greater food-safety standards,
sanitation requirements are also an increasingly integral element of the automation
system; sanitation efficiencies must serve as a dynamic part of the lean construct
continued process improvement.
