Following its success in China, Essilor selects COSWIN for its Brazilian factory

Essilor Da Amazonia (EDAM), the Brazilian subsidiary of the world leader in corrective lenses, has chosen the COSWIN Maintenance Management System to unite the management of its plants and laboratories. COSWIN replaces an obsolete system and will support the company's maintenance improvement projects.

As Essilor China has been successfully using COSWIN since 2008 in its factory located in Shanghai's Songjiang industrial district, this new deal demonstrates Siveco's ability to deliver large multinational projects and to retain loyal, satisfied clients.

In addition to the results obtained in China, the other key differentiators motivating Essilor's decision were the software capability to provide standard KPIs and analysis reports, and the extensive possibilities it provides to customize screens and navigation diagrams.

An important part of the project is the integration with Oracle ERP Applications, based on standard Siveco tools: the interface covers stock items managed in Oracle and their utilization in COSWIN's Work Orders. The scope of interfacing is similar to what has been implemented in China.

The world leader in ophthalmic optical products, Essilor International researches, develops, manufactures and markets around the world a wide range of lenses to improve and protect eyesight. Its flagship brands are Varilux®, Crizal®, Essilor®, Definity® and Xperio™. Based in France, the company reported consolidated revenue of more than €3.2 billion in 2009, with 34,700 employees and operations in 100 countries. The Essilor share trades on the NYSE Euronext Paris market and is included in the CAC 40 index. For more information, please visit www.essilor.com.
