Infor Acquires Lighthouse Systems



Infor has announced the acquisition of Lighthouse Systems, a provider of manufacturing execution system (MES) software for smart manufacturing. The company's flagship product, Shopfloor-Online, helps manufacturing companies manage and improve manufacturing operations across production, quality, inventory and maintenance.

"Lighthouse Systems' MES solution, which can be fully integrated into Infor CloudSuite ERP systems, will help Infor address a critical customer requirement of 24x7 manufacturing operations," said a spokesperson. "For manufacturing companies looking to implement ERP and MES together, Infor anticipates that its ability to offer a fully integrated solution out of the box will significantly shorten time to value for customers."

"MES solutions are critical for manufacturing organizations that want to ensure data consistency and real-time visibility across all plant operations," said Infor CEO Kevin Samuelson. "Integrating these capabilities with our industry-specific ERP systems will help us deliver even more powerful solutions to manufacturing organizations as they look to digitize their operations and grow their businesses."

Lighthouse Systems has major offices in the UK, the U.S. and Singapore. Its approximately 100 employees serve customers worldwide in focus industries such as automotive, machinery and equipment, packaging, sustainable energy and more.

Tim Barber, Company Director at Lighthouse Systems, said, "We are delighted to join forces with Infor to further the operational excellence initiatives of our manufacturing customers. We have 30 years of experience delivering MES solutions to discrete and process manufacturers worldwide. These solutions are not only key to executing production efficiently, they also are essential building blocks for smart manufacturing and digital transformation."

Lighthouse Systems' Shopfloor-Online product enables smart manufacturing by bringing all manufacturing operations into one central software system, which is accessible 24x7. The system, which can be deployed in the cloud or on-premises, connects the factory with a single thread of critical data that is accessible at the shop floor level and throughout the enterprise.
