Manufacturing support software & production planning

Manufacturing support software covers every tool that makes day-to-day production more efficient: production planning, inventory tracking, material flow, quality control, maintenance scheduling. Combined with an MES, it forms the backbone of a digital factory.

• Production planning — work orders, capacity loading, Gantt view.
• Inventory optimization — min/max levels, automated reorder suggestions.
• Material flow — barcode / QR-based warehouse, location tracking.
• Scrap & quality — root causes, inspection points, MSA / SPC.
• Maintenance — preventive maintenance calendar, fault logging.
• Operator UI — touch-optimized interface for shop-floor tablets.

Three main savings: (1) inventory reduction (typically 15–30% as safety-stock orders shrink), (2) scrap reduction (early detection of defects), (3) admin time (digital data instead of paper trails).

Manufacturing support software runs standalone but unlocks its full value when integrated with accounting/ERP and the MES. We connect via REST API, direct DB access, or file-based exchange.
