KITARON vs. Flowlens

KITARON Explore acts as a simplified version of the KITARON ERP&MES system, allowing organizations to manage and oversee their logistical processes in real-time, which encompasses customer service, order management, procurement, inventory oversight, warehouse logistics, and workforce alignment. This system is adept at monitoring production metrics by continuously collecting updates from robots, machinery, and staff members. It centralizes production data in a unified database that receives information directly from various machines, effectively merging the Kitaron ERP framework with machine controllers. Furthermore, it facilitates fluid data communication between the Kitaron ERP and the OPC Server, enabling the transmission of machine parameters triggered by specific events. Users can also send commands to machinery by adjusting the OPC server tags, thereby boosting operational productivity. By enhancing the integration of different components and streamlining processes, KITARON Explore ultimately equips organizations with a robust solution to refine their logistical operations and respond swiftly to production demands. This comprehensive tool not only improves efficiency but also fosters better decision-making based on real-time data insights.
