The Challenge
HJ Machine and Pattern, a machine shop that provides solutions for complex problems, was in need of an update. The company's phone system and computer design had not been updated for a few years. When Gurjinder Jammu took over as President and CEO, he decided to modernize the company's operations, including its ERP software. The company considered several ERP software options before settling on E2 in 2017. The decision was based on the simplicity of E2 and its efficient information flow. However, in mid-2020, the company decided to upgrade to E2 SHOP on the cloud.
About The Customer
HJ Machine and Pattern is a machine shop that assists its customers in solving a variety of complex problems. These problems range from creating precise inspection gauges to automated inspection and beyond. The company was taken over by Gurjinder Jammu, who became the President and CEO. Under his leadership, the company underwent a series of updates, including an upgrade to their phone system, computer design, and ERP software. The company is committed to efficiency and accuracy in its operations, and it values software that can enhance these aspects of its business.
The Solution
The solution for HJ Machine and Pattern was the implementation of E2 SHOP on the cloud. The upgrade was carried out during the COVID-19 pandemic, which meant that the implementation had to be done virtually. Despite this, the company had a positive experience with the implementation team and was able to get their shop up and running quickly. E2 SHOP has helped the company speed up its quoting process and improve its routing. The software has also made the company more efficient, allowing them to complete jobs faster and move on to the next task. The company has found the support from Shoptech, the provider of E2 products, to be quick and helpful.

Predictive Maintenance for Industrial Chillers
For global leaders in the industrial chiller manufacturing, reliability of the entire production process is of the utmost importance. Chillers are refrigeration systems that produce ice water to provide cooling for a process or industrial application. One of those leaders sought a way to respond to asset performance issues, even before they occur. The intelligence to guarantee maximum reliability of cooling devices is embedded (pre-alarming). A pre-alarming phase means that the cooling device still works, but symptoms may appear, telling manufacturers that a failure is likely to occur in the near future. Chillers who are not internet connected at that moment, provide little insight in this pre-alarming phase.
