Factelligence

Source: CIMNET, Inc.
Factelligence is a configurable Manufacturing Execution System (MES) for companies looking to prepare their factories for growth into make-to-order, lean, outsourced or collaborative manufacturing strategies.
Factelligence creates a real-time, web centric information system to enhance supply chain visibility. Using direct links into your equipment, it provides instantaneous facts on every step of the manufacturing process. This information rewards you with proactive decision making to help develop a more efficient factory and to meet increasingly aggressive deadlines.

From the moment you create a production order in your ERP, Factelligence electronically tracks production through each step of the process. Even unique orders that include customer-specific BOMs and special instructions can be sent electronically to your people and machine control systems. Using live production feedback from Factelligence, your finite production schedules can be fine tuned to dramatically improve your workflow and overall time to market.

Since no two manufactures have the same needs, Factelligence has been developed in a modular format. This enables you to select the most appropriate functionality to suit your requirements. These modules connect into the Factelligence XML Data Conduit to enforce their specific manufacturing rules and interact with your business and factory control systems.

Factelligence Modules Include, Production Manager, Product Definition Manager, Tracking Manager, Labor and Shift Manager, Procedure Step Manager, Machine Utilization Manager, DNC Manager, Folders Manager, Certification Manager, Datalog Manager, Supply Chain Connector, Factory Connector.

Factelligence provides a scalable 3-tier architecture using native XML interfaces between both the Factelligence modules and other manufacturing systems. This architecture supports small, localized systems up to large multi-site, multi-server installations. You can integrate Factelligence with your ERP systems for production planning, product definition and order entry for a complete end-to-end eManufacturing solution.

Factelligence takes integration even further, allowing any application, including customer-developed and third party applications to interact with the Factelligence MES Data Conduit to execute transactions and retrieve information. This core flexibility gives you the ability to safely extend real-time production management to anyone in your enterprise and beyond to external contract manufacturers and collaborative partners.
