Production Control Module

CAT Squared’s Production Control Module (PCM) allows companies to optimize production plans based on sales orders, purchase orders, and priority rules, and then monitor real-time production progress against those plans.

PCM integrates with plant-floor scales and CAT Squared's Label Manager to manage finished-good production. PCM offers a complete view of plant-floor production performance in one location, allowing management to view real-time pack-out yield and analyze key performance indicators.

Benefits

• Generates production plans by integrating with sales and manufacturing orders from an ERP system
• Reduces downtime by allowing management to make changes during production; the changes are instantaneously updated for scale/label station operators on the plant floor
• Keeps management updated by offering real-time production, movement, and inventory reports
• Tracks consumption of packaging and BOM for material variance of planned usage vs. actual usage
• Facilitates yield optimization by displaying live data in reports and plant-floor scoreboards
• Integrates with Label Manager for easy-to-use, custom label design

Features

• Offers a dynamic interface for plant-floor users including hotkeys for ease of use
• Tracks progress against production schedules in real-time
• Supports pallet labeling, manual case labeling, and automated in-motion case labeling in bar code and RFID formats
• Enforces production plan at the scale station level
• Generates daily material requirements based on each day’s production plan
