Legacy hardware lowers productivity and adds costs. Delays often go unnoticed but hurt production.

For manufacturers, every minute matters. Waiting impacts output and revenue alike. There’s good news if you’re in a similar situation. You don’t have to deal with slow processes anymore. This video shows a real example.

EIS Wire & Cable had this exact problem. Their old AlphaServer ES40 slowed operations and growth, putting their ERP applications at risk. Customer responses slowed. Staff spent too much time waiting.

With Stromasys’s help, they not only removed the risky hardware but also boosted their performance 15 times.

The High Cost of Slow Legacy Systems

Here are the major challenges they faced:

  • Long MRP Runs: Every run took 15 minutes to finish.
  • Slow Reports: Reports stalled, and the decisions were delayed.
  • Daily Operational Challenges: Work backed up at every step.
  • Lost Productivity: Hours lost waiting for critical tasks.

The Solution: Charon-AXP

Full-scale application migration can be risky and costly. That’s why they chose Charon-AXP from Stromasys.

Charon created an emulation layer exactly similar to the original hardware, but on a new platform. This allowed the ERP applications to run without noticing that the hardware had been replaced.

The transition was quick and smooth. The cutover began late Friday night. By Saturday morning, everything was live. Work continued as planned. No coding changes were needed. No system rebuilds were required.

The results:

  • MRP now runs in under a minute.
  • Reports are processed quickly and reliably.
  • No more single-point failure concerns.
  • Backups now finish faster, no tapes required.
  • Stop Waiting on Old Hardware

Is outdated AlphaServers slowing your business? There’s a clear alternative. Charon-AXP helps you replace them with no changes to the software.
