What is Factivity Software?

Contemporary manufacturing companies recognize that simply collecting data from their production environments is not enough to sustain a competitive advantage. There is a growing necessity for instant insights and actionable solutions, in addition to monitoring labor hours. Intuitive information "tools" enable managers to improve scheduling, resolve production bottlenecks, minimize waste, reduce downtime, and maximize both overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) and labor efficiency. This cutting-edge functionality is embodied in the FACTIVITY MES MODULES, a comprehensive suite of software "tools" aimed at streamlining production processes, lowering costs, and enhancing timely delivery performance. Among these, FACTIVITY’s Shop Floor Data Collection Software (SFDC) is notable for its user-friendly design, making it one of the most accessible options in the MES Manufacturing Execution System landscape. Designed with touch screens in mind, it features a unique operator push button user interface (UI) that provides an outstanding user experience right on the factory floor. By integrating this advanced technology with a focus on usability, manufacturers can significantly elevate their operations and secure a stronger position in the competitive landscape of today's market. Moreover, the ease of use of these tools encourages wider adoption among staff, fostering a culture of continuous improvement and innovation.

What is Epicor Advanced MES?

Epicor Advanced MES helps manufacturers improve production performance through real-time monitoring of plant operations, equipment, and manufacturing processes. Designed for plastic molders, repetitive manufacturers, and assembly operations involving multiple machines, the solution provides the visibility needed to better understand and manage shop floor performance. With access to real-time production and machine information, manufacturers can identify resource constraints, uncover additional capacity, track downtime, and reduce scrap and material waste. Advanced MES supports operational improvements by providing timely information on production status and equipment performance. The solution includes real-time scheduling, process monitoring, production visibility, and performance reporting capabilities. Users can review operational metrics and production details to support informed decision-making, while maintenance teams can access machine condition information to help plan preventive maintenance activities. Advanced MES also integrates with ERP, accounting, manufacturing estimating, and other business systems to help connect production activities with broader manufacturing operations.
