MRP, MES, and APS Solutions
Industrial package that combines materials planning (MRP), plant execution (MES), and advanced planning (APS). Designed for industrial SMEs seeking to synchronize demand, resources, and capacity with real-time plant data for better decision-making based on the analysis of collected information. Flexible deployment in the cloud or on-premise, multi-language interface, and compatibility with existing ecosystems. Geared towards agile decisions, fewer stops, and reliable deliveries.
MRP, MES, and APS Solutions
Who is it for?
- Management that needs operational visibility and control of committed deadlines.
- Operations with OEE pressure, bottlenecks, and frequent changes.
- Purchasing and planning with shortages, excess stock, or fragile forecasts.
- Quality and maintenance that require traceability and fewer unplanned stops.
- Industrial SMEs with more than 15–18 employees and complex processes.
Benefits
- Realistic plans: materials and capacity aligned with plant constraints.
- End-to-end traceability of orders, batches, incidents, and reworks.
- Fewer emergencies: optimal sequencing and more controlled format changes.
- Instant visibility: OEE, plan compliance, and deviations in dashboards.
- Scalability by modules and gradual adoption according to team maturity.
Problems it solves
- Unfeasible plans due to not considering real capacity and calendars.
- Mismatched inventory, shortages, and reactive last-minute purchases.
- Unplanned stops and micro-stops without identified cause.
- Lack of reliable data to prioritize improvements and justify investments.
- Incomplete traceability in the face of audits or customer incidents.
Key Features
- MRP: demand, BOMs, and routes; net calculation, coverages, and supply proposals.
- MES: online capture, production parts, quality, scrap, and downtime.
- APS: finite capacity, constraints, calendars, sequencing, and “what-if” simulation.
- Visual programming: drag and drop, rules, changeover times, and priorities.
- Alerts by role: delays, expected shortages, deviations, and non-conformities.
- Operational analytics: KPIs by line, shift, order, and reference.
Integrations and compatibility
- Connectors and APIs with existing ERP, CRM, accounting, and billing.
- Bidirectional integration with PLCs, SCADA, plant, and quality systems.
- Import of masters, histories, and documents from legacy systems.
- Events and webhooks for near real-time synchronization between areas.
- Compatibility with data lake and corporate BI tools.
Security and compliance
- Granular roles and permissions, segregation of functions, and complete audit.
- Encryption in transit and at rest, scheduled copies, and point restoration.
- Quality controls, batches, and genealogy of registered products.
- Separate environments for testing and production with good practices.
- Documented business continuity and disaster recovery policies.
KPIs and expected results
- OEE by center, line, and shift to prioritize actions.
- Plan compliance and on-time delivery to the customer.
- Inventory accuracy and potential shortages foreseen.
- Scrap rate, reworks, and controlled non-conformities.
- MRP Reliability: plan vs. execution difference by order.
Some use cases / Sectors
- Discrete: metal, machining, assembly, components, and capital goods.
- Process: food, light chemicals, cosmetics, and secondary packaging.
- Make to order: MTO/ETO with integrated engineering and frequent changes.
- Multi-line or multi-plant with subcontracting and internal logistics.
- After-sales service and spare parts with installed traceability.
Frequently asked questions (FAQs)
Can we start with just APS or MES?
Yes, modules that can be activated and expanded in phases.
How does APS guarantee realistic plans?
Considers calendars, bottlenecks, times, and defined restrictions.
Does it integrate with our current ERP?
Yes, through APIs and standard connectors.
What machines can we connect?
PLCs and plant systems with capture of operational signals.
How do we migrate historical data?
Guided loaders for masters and relevant records.
Will there be training by profiles?
Yes, practical training by role and critical processes.
Cloud or on-prem, what do we choose?
Depends on requirements; we support hybrid scenarios.
Available languages?
Multi-language interface and data for international teams and locations.
