About Build, Schedule, Produce and Inspect

Cloud Apps is a solution of lean out-of-the-box cloud applications designed to enhance the functionalities of your ERP system. The applications are role-based, quick to set up and easy to use.

The family includes the following applications:

• Build - Product management
• Schedule - Production process scheduling
• Produce - Production order processing
• Inspect - Quality inspection management

All the above are desktop applications that run in a web browser. The two members of the family designed for shop floor operators (i.e. Produce / Operator and Inspect / Operator) can also run in browsers on tablets.

The minimum screen width required is 600 pixels. Therefore, you cannot use Cloud Apps on mobile phones or other smaller devices.

Cloud Apps can run on the two latest versions of Windows and iOS. The supported browsers are the recent versions of Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Safari.

The Build application

Build is a tool both for achieving precise costing and pricing calculations and managing requests and specifications either for new products or for changes in existing products. With Build, you can plan and track the progress of relevant development tasks, easily import components from spreadsheets and send your changes directly into your ERP system.

Using Build, it is easy to create and manage product requests with associated tasks and attached documents, track the progress of product requests in a planning board, import components from spreadsheets, view entire product structures with several assembly levels, build item structures by just dragging-and-dropping operations, components, or resources, and calculate costs considering the entire product structure, adding extra surcharges, expenses, and mark-up for automatic sales price calculation.

The Schedule application

Use this application to schedule your production with optimum resource utilization and to ensure timely production throughput. Schedule improves on-time delivery, shortens lead times and optimizes processes.

Schedule reflects the special needs of small job shops, producing highly customized products in small batches. It starts with creating a production order and priority-based automatic scheduling. The application takes into account your execution and automatically updates the schedule based on feedback from the shop floor. Schedule provides schedulers, planners, managers, etc. with alerts and automatic messages if things require special attention.

The Produce application

Produce is a solution that helps both shop floor managers and operators in organizing and prioritizing work to be done, achieving paperless production process, and connecting the factory to the ERP in real-time, both for executing production transactions and accessing relevant data.

Using Produce, shop floor managers can have an automatic prioritization of production orders and directly release them to the shop floor, track the work orders’ progress in real-time, and see exactly which resources and operators are currently working in the factory. The operators, on the other hand, can see which tasks must be completed by them, get a list of required materials for each task, and instantly see the availability of each component, start and finish their tasks in an easy and seamless way, and process material transactions for components issues and production receipts when completing the tasks, directly updating inventory levels in your ERP system.

The Inspect application

Inspect is a quality control application, an extension of your ERP system that enables quality managers to plan, automate and delegate work, and assists inspectors in running tests and recording results. All in real-time and paperless.

Using Inspect, quality managers can establish standards for safeguarding the quality of both purchased and produced items, set sampling and approval rules, define the criteria for automatically triggering inspection orders, track the progress of inspection orders in real-time, and print quality control certificates. The quality inspectors will see a list of inspection orders requiring their attention, giving them the possibility to easily click on the order to inspect and enter the measurements and results for each sample. They can select the reasons for each identified failure, enabling managers to have a deeper understanding of the drivers for quality improvement.
