CSX Completes Nationwide Deployment
of ESC VinTelligent
ALAMEDA, CA - October 25, 2005
- Embarcadero Systems Corp. (ESC), a leader in innovative
technology solutions, recently announced the deployment of
its ESC VinTelligent at CSX’s nationwide vehicle distribution
centers (VDC), which number more than 30.
ESC VinTelligent is a Web-based application
designed to optimize automobile handling throughout the entire
supply chain. It was implemented at the final CSX site, the
Ford Kentucky Truck Plant in Louisville recently. This facility
produces about 400,000 new vehicles annually. Across CSX’s
total Automotive Services Group network, VinTelligent is managing
more than five million vehicles annually--more than 14,000
vehicles daily.
CSX commented on the value of VinTelligent
to their overall operation.
“Due to the high volume of vehicles,
a smooth operation of the VDC is critical to keep up with
plant production,” said Andy Strok, CSX vice president-Automotive
Service Group. “VinTelligent not only allows us to keep
up but to stay ahead by using its advanced planning tools.
The average vehicle dwell time at the Kentucky Truck Plant
VDC is one and a half days.”
ESC VinTelligent’s advanced tools
include Automatic Yard Planning, Dynamic Inventory Reconciliation,
Dynamic Rail Load Reconciliation and Unmanned Scanning Stations.
