The two-day forum featured informative presentations from MPDV customers Panduit, Eppendorf, and IPEX. These customer talks examined the advantages of HYDRA, the use of HYDRA in a variety of manufacturing environments, and the adaptability of HYDRA to suit customers’ unique needs. The clients who took part in Customer Day 2019 all use MPDV’s HYDRA Manufacturing Execution System (MES) to improve the day-to-day efficiency and productivity of their manufacturing facilities.
