Aspect Product Capabilities

Auto schedule capabilities, allow users to schedule a week’s work in a few minutes.

Schedule production tasks by dragging and dropping work orders into a schedule that is linked to production machines.

Real time production data allows users to monitor and adjust the schedule on the fly.

Indicate Machine and tool priority list for periods where resource could be a problem such as night shift.

Sort unscheduled production segments by required date, duration, segment ID, Tool ID and production request ID for easy selection.

View schedule in Gantt Chart or view as a plan (spreadsheet).

View jobs that are dependent on each other. (process path) (i.e., jobs that are linked – for example moulding followed by printing).

View calculated factory Labour requirements in Manhattan graph format on timeline of Gantt schedule.

Monitor production using the graphical scheduler that updates in real time (adjustable – 10 seconds typical).

Our system provides real-time Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) calculations, enabling you to measure and improve manufacturing performance instantly.

This feature offers a detailed analysis of all alerts over a selected period, helping you identify and address issues promptly.

Export data as CSV files for external analysis, allowing for deeper insights and integration with other business intelligence tools.

Analyse production trends based on machines, tools, product classes, and specific products to track improvement over time and identify areas for optimisation.

Gain comprehensive visibility and traceability of manufacturing processes, enabling regular critiques and benchmarking to measure improvements.

Our platform offers real-time monitoring of critical performance values such as cycle time, reject rates, and downtime, ensuring immediate visibility into production issues.

Utilise user-selectable view by exception fields to focus on critical metrics, enhancing situational awareness and enabling quick decision-making.

The Factory Monitor screen provides a comprehensive view of the plant’s status, including workstation alerts and downtime actions, all displayed with intuitive visual cues.

Ensure all data collection points are functioning 100% to manage daily tasks effectively, providing accurate and reliable data for analysis.

Conduct brief daily stand-up meetings to discuss current production status, issues, and targets, fostering a culture of continuous improvement and accountability.

Maintain total traceability and revision control with time and date-stamped operator transactions, ensuring compliance and quality control throughout the production process.

Our system captures detailed data on material and process parameters, test results, and operator actions, ensuring full traceability of products throughout the production lifecycle.

Generate detailed quality reports that include data on rejects, weight samples, and material tests, helping maintain high standards and compliance with industry regulations.

Track materials consumed and finished goods by batch, providing a clear history of product and job production records for easy recall and compliance verification.

Access both live and historical shift performance data, allowing for continuous monitoring and analysis of production efficiency and quality.

Utilise barcode reading for finished goods to automatically calculate yield and ensure accurate tracking of production outputs.

Efficiently manage recall concerns with robust traceability features that allow for quick identification and isolation of affected batches, ensuring swift corrective actions.

Our integration method, based on ISO 95 standards, facilitates smooth communication between ERP and MES systems, ensuring seamless data exchange regardless of whether they use CSV files or APIs.

AspectPL can configure data fields to link under different import/export scenarios from the ERP, requiring minimal involvement from your ERP vendor.

Integrating ERP and MES helps increase operational efficiency by providing real-time plant information, which enhances decision-making and responsiveness to changing demands.

Our experienced team provides comprehensive support throughout the integration phase, focusing on data accuracy and system reliability to ensure a hassle-free experience.

We often complete the integration at a capped cost, avoiding risk exposure and ensuring a cost-effective solution for your business.

Integration enhances the value derived from both systems by providing greater visibility into production processes, which helps in reducing cycle time and improving overall equipment efficiency (OEE).
