Aptean Shop Floor Production for Food and Beverage

We may be surrounded by technology, but many companies still maintain production plans on paper. This method makes it extremely difficult to communicate ad-hoc changes in daily planning, leading to unforeseen delays and preventable errors. Usually this written data also needs to be manually entered into your ERP system as well, leading to yet another opportunity for mistakes during the transcription process.

Implement A Better System

Instead of pen and paper, your workers on the floor can access production planning orders on a screen using Aptean Shop Floor Production. Using simple, multi-language tablets or PC screens, operators can change the status of production orders in real-time which is then visible in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. Operators can also register machine time, labor time, failure time and failure reasons. Consumption and output are registered on the floor and automatically processed in Dynamics 365 Business Central as well.

Key Features
