Core Features

Complete capabilities built around the full business workflow

Master Production Schedule

Auto-generate the master production schedule by order/forecast, balancing capacity and demand.

MRP Material Calculation

Auto-explode material requirements based on the BOM, making shortages clear at a glance.

Shop-floor Scheduling

Schedule work orders by equipment/operation/team, with a visual Gantt chart for intuitive adjustment.

Operation Reporting

Shop-floor barcode reporting sends progress back in real time so managers always stay informed.

Quality Traceability

Operation inspection data and defect records are fully traceable for quality root-cause analysis.

Production Analysis

Multi-dimensional analysis of plan attainment, equipment utilization and defect rate.

Use Cases

Flexibly adapts to different business models

01
Make-to-order Mode

Calculate materials and schedule production by order to avoid inventory buildup.

02
Batch Production Mode

Generate a master plan by forecast to balance inventory and capacity.

03
Mixed Production Mode

Order + forecast hybrid drive to flexibly respond to market changes.

Workflow

From order to completion stock-in, production planning collaborates end to end

1
Receive & Schedule

Sales orders drive the production plan, auto-scheduled by capacity, delivery date and priority

2
Material Readiness

BOM auto-explodes, stock checks flag shortages, triggering procurement or transfer replenishment

3
Work Order Release

Released to shop-floor teams, generating operations, work hours and picking notes in one click, with mobile reporting

4
Completion Stock-in

Completion inspection auto-stocks in and shipments are matched to orders, fully traceable

FAQ

Questions you may care about

Which production modes are supported?

Make-to-order (MTO), make-to-stock (MTS), engineer-to-order (ETO) and assemble-to-order (ATO) are all supported; multiple BOM versions and routings can be flexibly configured to fit standard, custom and semi-custom production scenarios.

Does the scheduling algorithm support complex constraints?

Yes. The built-in AI scheduling engine can solve for the optimal plan considering capacity, equipment, staff, material readiness, customer priority, delivery dates and other constraints; manual adjustment and drag-and-drop scheduling are also supported.

Can shop-floor workers report via barcode scanning?

Supported. Native iOS and Android apps + industrial PDA scanning let workers scan a work order QR code to record start, output, pause and completion, with data synced to the cloud in real time so managers always know the progress.

Can it integrate with MES and equipment IoT systems?

Yes. We provide REST API + Webhook + MQTT protocols for seamless integration with common MES, SCADA and equipment IoT systems, with operation progress and equipment data sent back to ERP in real time, typically completed in 3-5 business days.

How are data security and permissions ensured?

A multi-tenant data isolation architecture keeps full audit trails on work orders, BOMs and operation reports; field-level permissions are controlled by shop and role dimensions; on-premise deployment is supported and the product is ISO27001 and MLPS Level 3 certified.

What are the implementation timeline and pricing roughly?

The standard edition works out of the box and account setup plus initial configuration take just 30 minutes; custom development typically takes 2-6 weeks. For exact pricing, please contact our inquiry hotline 400-003-2253, and we'll tailor a plan based on team size and business complexity.
