Epicor Connected Process Control (CPC) is a no-code/low-code MES and Connected Worker platform with embedded digital work instructions that provide task-level guidance, process control, traceability, and real-time reporting.
The platform provides a unified environment with consistent workflows across stations and operations, connecting workers, tools, and business systems.
CPC supports both operator-performed and automated operations. Tasks can be completed through guided instructions or automatically confirmed through PLCs and integrated equipment, with results captured as part of the product record.
CPC enables production data to flow from the shop floor to business systems for analysis and operational decision-making. It can be deployed as a standalone system or integrated with ERP platforms, including native integration with Epicor Kinetic.
Key capabilities:
Flexible configuration: Drag-and-drop workflow configuration, task changes, and line balancing without custom development.
Digital work instructions: Embedded editor supporting images, text, GIFs, videos, PDFs, and more to present workstation-specific guidance.
Device connectivity: Integration with torque tools, barcode readers, gauges, printers, scales, vision systems, badge readers, and PLC-controlled equipment.
Process validation: Pre-requisite pathway logic ensures required assembly and sub-assembly steps are completed before progression.
Quality workflows: Reject, rework, and repair handling with recorded outcomes and operator prompts when required.
Traceability and genealogy: Records component usage, operator activity, and device measurements for compliance and investigation.
Data collection and reporting: Captures task-level activity including cycle times vs takt, good and bad part counts, Andon events, step confirmation results, and current production status.
CPC is typically used in discrete manufacturing operations such as assembly, kitting, testing, repair, maintenance, and controlled processing activities where execution steps must be verified and documented.
