Euramax Coated Products, a coil-coating manufacturer, has picked SAS (News - Alert) Visual Analytics to deliver visual data exploration capabilities to employees.

SAS specializes in business analytics software and services that help improve business intelligence to make better and faster decisions for better performance.

Euramax will be using SAS Visual Analytics for production and operations to derive valuable reports on quality assurance, lost time, scrap materials, down time and financials. The system will also deliver reports for all the countries where Euramax has its operations.

Peter Wijers, business support manager, Euramax said, “We needed to empower employees with data exploration and reporting capabilities for their daily work. SAS makes this happen. The power and flexibility of SAS Visual Analytics will enable Euramax to streamline analytics processes to meet our business objectives.”

According to officials the SAS Visual Analytics will help Euramax a lot as it offers data control and report access on a daily basis to users. The solution helps analyze data quickly and efficiently which helps Euramax officials to take quick and optimum real-time business decisions.

Euramax is planning to offer its employees visual analytics capabilities on mobile devices so that they get instant access to centralized reports from any location, including customer sites.

“Visual data exploration with SAS Visual Analytics lets users quickly filter data or drill down to more details without submitting a report request to IT and waiting. Once data is loaded into SAS Visual Analytics, our analysts can explore the data on their own, without IT support. That freedom gives them better quality answers faster,” said Wijers.

Euramax Coated Products’ coil coated aluminum production, covers innovative products, special colors and designs. The company’s pre-coated metals are used in building facades, household appliances and so on.

Kentucky will be using the SAS Fraud Framework for Government and check the validity of claims to detect and prevent fraud and also uncover and prevent abuse in the state’s Medicaid program, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF).
