Have your operators become part-time data entry clerks? It’s well known that successful ERP implementations in manufacturing plants require timely and accurate information. In most cases, this comes down to your skilled operators and supervisors entering data at the end of the shift.
Consider that most of the information needed by ERP is available in your automation. Material consumption and inventory movements are often controlled by PLCs and HMIs. Production counts are available in packaging machines or from simple sensors placed inline. Vigilistics collects the production information and stores it in auditable transaction records that are easily sent to ERP. The records are timely and accurate. Most importantly, your operators and supervisors can do what they do best: make quality products and meet production schedules.
