Role:   Business process optimization, Web-Enablement.
Solution:   ObjectFrame is currently (March, 2008) building an expert system for Optimax which takes in lens parameters (radius, center thickness, diameter, materials specifications, etc.) and produces suggestions for a process to manufacture the optic. It then provides optical engineers with a wizard to help them fine tune those suggestions into a process to be executed on the manufacturing floor. We are leveraging offshore programming support to accomplish these goals (a clean software development process with appropriate tooling keeps this managable), and also leveraging the Symfony framework. The end product will include full sales order life-cycle management, from the quoting process through shipping and subsequent analytics. About a decade ago, ObjectFrame also comprehensively Web-enabled this custom optical component manufacturer including: the selection, installation, and heavily custom configuration of a manufacturing ERP system; the design and physical installation of a company-wide Local-Area-Network; the logical and physical wiring of that LAN to the Internet such that all LAN users are automatically Internet users; the design and development of a Web site; and the detailed training of company employees on the proper use of the installed system.
Testimonial:   "ObjectFrame Technologies built and specified a technology infrastructure for our company, virtually from the ground up, which has wired us to the Internet and which supports the extremely rapid growth we have experienced and continue to experience." - Mike Mandina, President Optimax Systems, Inc.
