FEATURES AND FUNCTIONALITY OF MASTER FACTORY

Scheduling & dispatching

Delivery and setup time reduction.
Optimized planning procedures based on customer orders and full capacity sequencing depending on available resources and configured constraints. Includes: splitting and grouping operations, adding production notes, calculating material and tool requirements, notifications in the event of insufficient stocks (current or future) or delays in delivery.

Warehouse Management

Simplifying the logistics process management of raw materials, semi-finished products- from external suppliers or from other departments/plants (intra-company) – and finished products and user support during logistics activities.  All movements are recorded in real time which allows the calculation of future stock requirements, taking into account quantities allocated for orders as well as for raw materials ordered.

Execution & Control

Immediate interaction between the operator and machinery. 
Supervision of all phases of implementation and production progress by collecting process information in real-time. The transmission of variable data to the lines, via industry standard protocols, allows data exchange with all main machine control systems.

Track & Trace

Real-time information on material consumption and origins and batch quality.
Recording production and logistic history of each material allows the operator to obtain an instant view of all movements and operations regarding any batches and sub-lots at any time, including  which machinery and staff were employed, which raw and packaging materials were used and what the stock movements were in regards to these operations.


Quality check

Definition, assessment and quality control.
Quality monitoring of all materials used, from raw materials to packaging materials, taking into account their characteristics. The tests carried out allow the definition of constraints to be used during the production process, the company quality standard and – indirectly – the quality of the final product.

Labelling

Product identification in compliance with industry standards: management of data associated with printing labels for lots and sub-lots together with logistics and production reports. Thanks to dedicated connectors, printing takes place using the MASTER Factory printer server or the most commonly used industrial labeling systems (such as NiceLabel, Markem).

Personnel

Optimized allocation of production personnel on the base of skills and availability, both at dispatching and during order release, to determine how many and what types of employees are needed in regards to each operation to be carried out. It records the time taken by the staff to complete each single operation and it notifies in case of staff unavailability or insufficient personnel. 

Reports & Dashboards

Analysis of current performance and process efficiency: immediate visualization of real-time and historical data to measure the efficiency and productivity (KPIs + OEE) of every aspect of the production process. Standard features can be expanded by using the integrated configurator to obtain customized reports and dashboards.

Knowledge

Centralization of the production process know-how and unlimited access to information: CAD designs, electrical plans, HACCP documentation, recommended procedures, safety instructions, hyperlinks, etc. Production staff can consult the information at any time to reduce the incidence of errors.

Maintenance

Performance and efficiency of production plants. Recording statistics regarding machinery allows to monitor the performance and to plan the maintenance activity, preventing anomalies, malfunctions or sudden machine breakdowns and increasing plant efficiency.

FULL INTEGRATION

XConnect

Full integration with the new generation of ERP and third-party systems:
Business Cube (with which MASTER Factory is natively integrated), SAP S/4 HANA, Microsoft Dynamics, Oracle Cloud and third-party applications (automated warehouses, PDM, QMS, MMS…)
