Deliver on time and cut waste on every line.
Digitize the whole production flow — from planning and scheduling to shop-floor data — tied to inventory and quality.
Manual production planning, no real-time shop-floor data, suboptimal capacity and inventory — late orders and waste are hard to control.
Work orders, output per shift and machine downtime are recorded at the line, not copied off a paper board at the end of the day. Planning therefore schedules against the plant's real load, and the warehouse knows in advance which materials are about to be called.
Each capability resolves an operating constraint.
Product data & engineering change management (PDM/ECO)
How: Align EBOM ↔ MBOM; route ECR/ECO through approval, version and effectivity controls; link engineering documents from EDM.
Build to exact norms
How: Standardized BOM, routing, operations and work centers.
No material shortfalls
How: MRP/CRP planning for materials and capacity.
Real-time progress
How: Release orders and record output and progress on the floor.
Optimize capacity
How: Sequencing, load balancing and priority for key orders.
See performance clearly
How: Shop-floor data, OEE and productivity by shift.
Trace to every lot
How: Tied to inventory & quality, in-line inspection.
Production definition
BOM and formulations
How: Multi-level product structures with versions and date-effective validity.
Routings and operations
How: Operation sequence, work centres, standard times and changeover times.
Engineering change (ECO)
How: Versioned design changes, so you know which batch ran on which revision.
Shop-floor execution
Work orders and dispatching
How: Sequenced against real capacity — rush orders without breaking the plan.
Recording at the station
How: Operators report output, scrap and downtime where the work happens.
Lot and serial traceability
How: From finished goods back to raw material and shift, in seconds.
Measurement & costing
OEE by machine and shift
How: Availability, performance and quality kept as three separate numbers.
Downtime reason codes
How: Classified stops show whether hours went to material, changeover or breakdown.
Cost per work order
How: Material, labour and depreciation attributed to the order that consumed them.

Train your team, go live, and get ongoing support at the SLA tier you choose.
The full cycle: Plan (MRP) → Finished-goods receipt.
- Operation routing
- Bill of materials (BOM)
- Machine & labour shift
A production order is where the plan meets the floor: what to make, at which operation, from which materials — and when it closes, inventory, costing and the quality record all move with it.
Let AI show which operation is eating the shift's output.
Plan production optimally within real constraints.
Predict failures to maintain before downtime.
Optimize capacity and surface waste points.
Without an agent the work does not disappear — it moves onto a person.
It only starts when somebody remembers it and finds the time to sit down with it.
The business event starts it, not somebody's memory.
When a new production order joins the queue
To learn where things stand you ask a colleague to check, then to export a report.
Ask in your own words; the answer comes off the numbers already in the system.
“Which order should we run first today?”
Your strongest people spend the day on the same reconciliation as last week.
The repetitive half runs inside the permissions you granted; the decisions still stop with you.

Agents in this module
They sit on the very data layer above — and run inside the caller’s permissions.
Data flows straight to the other modules — no re-entry.
Every transaction flows straight to connected modules on one data layer — no re-entry, no silos.
R&D & new-product development — PDM/ECO is the engineering link.
EBOM ↔ MBOM and approved engineering changes plug straight into the Idea-to-Launch flow with PM/PPM, QMS and Finance.
Frequently asked questions.
Can it connect to shop-floor machines?+
Yes. MES captures field data via device integration and computes OEE and productivity in real time.
Does it support lot/serial traceability?+
From finished goods back to raw material, every step carries its lot/serial together with the storage location and the quality result.
Is MES tied to planning and inventory?+
MRP/CRP, work orders and inventory sit on one data layer, so a material shortage appears during planning rather than when an operator walks to the store.
Can it deploy across multiple plants?+
Each plant keeps its own configuration but reports into one place — multi-plant, multi-branch, centrally managed.
