We’re built to design and deliver integrated systems that connect every part of your operation, helping it run better.
We bring together conveying, processing, packaging, and automation into a single connected system.
Organizations that integrate Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) with production planning achieve significant efficiency gains. Integration can take various forms, using trusted, secure technologies.
Four basic questions:
Generally, the first two questions are answered by the ERP system, and the remaining two by the production planning and batch management system.
After security, which is paramount, an integration must consider timeliness. Production systems are near real-time. An operator scheduling batches needs to know nearly immediately whether resources are available. Conversely, ERP solutions are satisfied with being five minutes behind real-time, an eternity on the plant floor.
Caching transactions can be extremely important. Internet service providers, on which WANs depend, are not 100% reliable. One of our client’s facilities operated with minimal interruption for three days, using stale inventory data and telephoned production orders, while caching transactions for raw goods consumed and finished goods produced.
Whatever technology ultimately supports the integration, it is best to start with a detailed integration plan that defines each data column for every transaction. Such a plan not only guides development but also precisely documents the integration, benefiting future additions or modifications.
