Data collection (Infor Factory Track)
Infor Factory Track
Infor Factory Track is a manufacturing automation solution, purpose built for CloudSuite Industrial. With extensive support for Field Service and Quality capabilities within the ERP, Factory Track provides you with many additional capabilities to enhance your ERP system. In addition to automating several manufacturing and warehousing functions, Factory Track also provides the ability to deploy industrial devices (barcode scanners, time clocks, label printers etc.) for improving operational efficiencies.
Modules
- The Shop Floor module is a modern touch-screen solution that allows tracking of production activities. Operators can access the shop floor kiosks to track labor, WIP, attendance transactions and much more.
- The Warehouse Mobility module a real-time barcoding and data collection solution that servers an online extension of CloudSuite Industrial’s inventory management capabilities
- The Time Track module is a comprehensive time and attendance management solution that delivers capabilities like vacation management, centralized time reporting, supervisor dashboards, and configurable payroll extracts
Factory Track is built on the Infor Mongoose framework, which is a rapid application development tool. It is same framework that CloudSuite Industrial is also built on. This not only provides a uniform technology stack but also allows customers to personalize the solution to meet their requirements.
Paperless shop floor
In Factory Track, labor reporting from the shop floor can be accomplished in a number of ways, including using touch-screen devices that can run browser pages. The work center user interface provides users with the capability to start or stop labor, start or stop machine times, issue materials, report production, and perform a number of other functions with a touch of a screen.
Labor functions can be fully integrated into the time and attendance functionality, or they can be used in stand-alone mode. The system allows an operator to work on several jobs simultaneously using the workset feature or, for a team of operators to work on a single job or multiple jobs, using the teams feature. Machine time recording allows for the recording of machine usage either integrated with labor recording using the automatic method or as a stand-alone function using the manual method.
The module retrieves data from the ERP as needed and updates the ERP in real-time to accurately chronicle the usage of material or to record job progress. The operator is able to retrieve drawings or notes for a specific item, operation, or job. They can also request replenishment of material via Kanban. For work centers producing Kanbans, production can be recorded while filling Kanban requests. For repetitive environments, production schedule reporting capabilities are also available.
Using an attached barcode scanner, operators can scan items, lots, serial numbers, and other production data as needed for transaction purposes. The system can be configured to send output to a barcode printing program for most transactions. Lost or ruined labels can easily be reprinted with the reprint transaction.
Support we received from Frontstep's consultants during the implementation was of great importance for the successful completion of the project
