This platform delivers advancements, across the entire platform, such as:
- Streamline production engineering & planning– With batch-to-batch dependencies, planners can schedule production batches that have a network of inter-dependencies to other batches, ensuring sufficient time and inventory and thereby minimizing scheduling conflicts and production delays. The site-to-site portability feature enables manufacturers to effortlessly transfer production processes and accompanying documentation from one factory to another, eliminating the need to build from scratch.
- Develop on the fly, Adaptive Processes– Engineer-to-order (ETO) provides the ability to develop fully managed process exceptions with complete conformance management including product tracking, material and process traceability, provision of documentation, etc. By leveraging the ability to create on-demand production operations, flows and instructions for units that travel outside the main process manufacturers can support personalization/customization, mitigate process disruptions, improve quality, and reduce costs.
- Improved shop floor ergonomics for boosted throughput– FactoryLogix 2017.1 delivers more barcode and keyboard shortcuts to frequently used functions and supports voice control. This reduces errors, training time, and eliminates bottlenecks.
- Out-of-the-box compliance reports – The company continues to build upon its capabilities of analytics, alerts, triggers and escalation workflows, and now has out-of-the-box AS9100 reports, pre-configured eDHR reports for medical applications, and real-time statistical process control dashboards.
- Plug & play connectivity backbone for the connected ecosystem – The FactoryLogix platform includes a proven real-time Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) backbone enabling data collection from millions of machines and devices, providing the actionable intelligence needed to increase manufacturing capabilities. This platform introduces more plug & play connectors to its already extensive library to further connect ecosystems.
FactoryLogix manages the entire manufacturing lifecycle: from product launch to material logistics, through manufacturing execution, to analytics and real-time dashboards. This end-to-end platform is helping companies accelerate product introductions, streamline processes, improve quality and traceability, reduce costs and gain greater visibility.
