Magna produce high value, low volume assemblies at its plant in Aston, Birmingham for their client Jaguar Land Rover (JLR). Infinity provided Magna with a Manufacturing Execution System (MES) which connects directly with SAP and their production line machines.
Magna chose Infinity Technology to provide the manufacturing execution system (MES) for their Aston production plant. This plant produces assemblies and components for JLR’s luxury end, high value vehicles.
The production line in Aston manufactures and delivers door panels, rear cabin trims and roll-over protection system components in sequenced delivery. It is a satellite plant to Magna Automotive Interiors Hartlip division and uses hand wrapped sub-assemblies from the Hartlip plant. A low volume of assemblies and components is produced but these are of high individual value.
The production plant needed a solution that would communicate directly with its SAP ERP system as well as storing and collating manufacturing data for reporting purposes. The Infinity MES solution enables communication between Magna’s Aston site and their Hartlip division production site. The Hartlip division supplies sub-components and sub-assemblies for the main assembly line in Aston. In addition the Aston site requires a number of sub-assemblies and components which are sourced from other external sub-suppliers.
Magna needed a solution to enable them to control multiple elements of the production process, such as accurate stock control and invoicing.
Infinity Technology developed a bespoke just in sequence (JIS) system code named Medway which interfaces directly with both Magna’s SAP system and their Aston plant shop floor production equipment. It controls the accuracy of build specification and sequenced delivery requirements on the shop floor. It also communicates with the SAP ERP system to ensure accurate stock control.
Magna receives eight day messages (EDMs) which provide them with a firm forecast of JLR’s production levels.
The order bank in the Infinity JIS Medway system is populated with EDMs which have been pre-validated in Magna’s SAP system. Error checking, such as consistency checking, completeness checking and parts validation has already been done by SAP on these files.
When vehicle production starts at JLR’s Halewood plant a sequence broadcast is sent to Medway which contains the EDM reference number. Medway validates the sequence broadcast with the EDM and creates the production instructions.
Medway’s production instructions are in the form of part labels and picking lists. As with other infinity JIT/JIS systems the label is used for 3 purposes:
Medway generates production files for the production line (also called TAB files). These files contain details of the components to be used to make the finished part. The TAB files are placed directly on a file share. When the barcode on the production instruction is scanned the TAB file data is loaded and assembly commences.
Medway interfaces with Magna’s SAP using BAPI (Business Application Programming Interface) calls and communicates directly with Magna’s SAP system at 3 points during the vehicles’ lifecycle within Medway. The 3 points are:
Start of production (ZPRS). The production instructions and sequence are validated which prevents further changes being made to the order content
End of JLR production line (ZOTT). This confirms via broadcast that the vehicle has left the production line. This information is forwarded to SAP for self-billing invoice creation
Medway’s interface with SAP makes Magna’s business processes leaner and more efficient. Medway links Magna production site systems with their Head Office in real time. The Infinity JIS Medway system provides the Head Office systems with accurate up to date information about what has been consumed during production. This enables Head Office to re-order with confidence, hold less stock and invoice with accuracy.
In addition to Magna’s business processes, Medway provides the Magna team with a view of the JLR production line. Accurate JLR production line information is critical because the vehicles produced are high value but slow moving. As an added complication JLR makes two models on the same production line with Magna supplying parts for only one of these models. Medway receives several status Webtls from the JLR production line which are used as key performance indicators.

I bought this because kathleenlights raved about this so I thought I'd give it a try. What I should have kept in mind is that she has very dry skin.. where as I am combination oily. It smells AMAZING (like flinstones push pops.. anyone remember those?!), but after ten minutes it leaves this layer of oil on my face. When I go to touch it, it transfers onto my fingers and I notice there's like nothing left on my face! It's the strangest thing.. I mean I'll continue using it till the jar runs out but definitely not buying it again.
This products has left my skin feeling tighter and smoother, I love it as a night cream along with my other origins products. Worth the money! Would recommend purchasing from Boots
This was gifted to me by a close friend and was kept in my drawer until one day I decided to use it and couldnt been happier just one usage I saw difference already. I love it alot.
Night a mins is a wonderful nighttime moisturizer which I've been using for a few months now. The winter weather absolutely destroyed my skin - it was dry and digusting, and it's never been that way before. Night a mins was a skin saviour! It asorbs quickly into the skin, so I don't feel like all of it is getting rubbed into my pillow when I sleep, and I wake up with a lovely soft face, and slight glow... I can't stop touching my face every morning.
I love the smell! Nothing too overpowering, and doesn't linger on the skin so I'm smelling it all the time.
It’s thick and doesn’t spread as smoothly as some other products. The smell is a little off putting. I usually love Origins products, but this just wasn’t a good fit for my skin.
This night time moisturizer and I are in a long term committed relationship! Lol. I love how it melts in your skin, the smell it has and the way my face just glows in the morning! Definitely give it a try!
This a nice night cream. Sephora employee told me to use it. So I took the plunge and got it. It is really hydrating. The price is on the higher side. But I think it's worth it.
It is an awesome night cream that is all natural n free of steroids n other chemicals....I love the oil free version of it as my skin is acne prone....I just love love it....
Good cream to promote a nocturnal hydration for hours and hours. I included it in my skincare routine and it worked wonders for me. And also the aroma is delicious!
Really made my skin super soft in the morning.. Only a little goes a long way as its so concentrated.. It refreshed my skin and it was easy to apply and absorb into my skin. The pot is simple as all origin products usually are
Sephora is always intimidating, it also depends on the store and staff. If they're nice and accommodating then your experience is going to be a lot better than if they have a bad staff. They do have everything you can want though. Sephora online is usually where I tend to shop, unless I have something that needs to be spent in store.
