Manufacturing Software Solutions

Data Collection

Every factory floor is different --- from the products being built, to the manufacturing method (distributed to discrete), to build schedules and compensation plans.  One thing that remains constant, however, is the need for comprehensive timely informative.

Spectrum Enterprise Software solutions accumulate date from sources such as ERP, MRP, Excel and other factory floor software and presents this date in a single useable format.  After gathering the data color thresholds can be assigned to data showing a line is behind or ahead of schedule, a run rate is too high, an accumulation table is full or total production is ahead of schedule.  As the factory has becomes more automated and there are fewer line employees, getting critical information that is useful has become essential to operations and improving productivity.

Data Output

Using Spectrum’s Solution Software an industrial customer can collect real-time data from multiple sources and display their data to numerous visual display devices such as marquees, plasmas, mobile devices and printed reports.

A full manufacturing schedule for all lines can be displayed on a multi-colored marquee on the floor or on a plasma screen in the manager’s office. Getting an error message to the remote technicians is as easy as tying into their PDA’s, pagers, or cell phones.  Also, printed reports with real-time/ historical or integrated data are available for managers.
