The Looking GlassTM is a virtual extended
manufacturing environment portal that provides a unique,
end-to-end system of 24x7 access, control, and collaboration
with Milford Manufacturing Services’ OEMs and
suppliers. Built on leading Web technologies, The Looking
GlassTM provides real-time online remote
view and management of line operations, production simulation,
supply chain and schedule management, and manufacturing
data and analysis transfer.
Through an end-to-end collaborative system, The Looking
GlassTM allows manufacturers to work more
closely with clients, suppliers, and subcontractors
– including offshore manufacturers – to
gain tighter cost and quality control.
The Looking GlassTM is adept at facilitating
the transfer of manufacturing processes from domestic
prototype or low-volume production operations to offshore
facilities able to more cost effectively handle high-volume
demands. This get-it-right the first time capability
eliminates the waste of money, time, and resources in
re-learning manufacturing and assembly lessons already
encountered and resolved during the product development
and prototyping phase
