ICG offers companion products that enhance and modernize Fourth Shift.

ICG and Keith Vincent (founder and creator of VisiBar) have combined forces to provide a solution that serves Fourth Shift and beyond!

We chose to partner with MFGStream because it:

Is a next generation data collection & process automation tool that offers unparalleled flexibility
Is device- and manufacturing software-agnostic. MFGStream is the layer in the middle that allows you to seamlessly move data from whatever generates it to whatever needs it
.

Manufacturers will find tremendous value with MFGStream because it:

Replaces VisiBar, preserving your ERP investment, and modernizes your ERP in a cost-efficient way
Is multi-threaded and runs 500% faster than VisiBar
Runs 24×7 and can handle the demand of modern manufacturing operations
Seamlessly moves manufacturing technology into the 21st century
.

For those concerned about integration, MFGStream features:

VisiBarTranslator which ports all existing VisiBar scripts to MFGStream
Web interface which allows use on all new devices with no script changes
Backwards compatible which allows use on all legacy Windows devices with no script changes
.

We are delighted to share this ERP enhancement with our customers. We know that MFGStream will help our customers work more effectively. To learn more about it or other companion products for Fourth Shift, contact your sales rep!
