VIA IT is an out-of-the-box Manufacturing Execution System (MES) designed to optimize and transform manufacturing operations across various industries. By transitioning from manual, paper-based processes to intelligent, automated systems, VIA IT enhances production efficiency, improves traceability, and minimizes exposure to product recalls. Its user-friendly, no-code configuration allows for rapid deployment and scalability, enabling manufacturers to streamline operations and gain valuable insights through robust reporting and analytics.
Key Features and Functionality:
- Order Execution: Optimizes product flow and configures Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) requirements to maximize availability and return on investment. Features include Just-in-Time (JIT) sequencing, build-to-order processing, and a broadcast receiver that translates OEM requirements for production line execution.
- Packing Process Integrity: Provides configurable platforms for packing and printing, with built-in error proofing, serialization for material identification, and flexible packaging options for batch or serialized materials.
- Performance Dashboards: Offers integral reporting and analytics with pre-built dashboards, custom Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), and real-time shop floor performance data to facilitate corrective actions.
- Warehouse Management: Enables creation, execution, and tracking of raw materials within a warehouse, including material locations, batch sizes, and movement throughout the facility, enhancing traceability.
- Traceability: Creates a digital twin of each product to maximize yield and prevent manufacturing defects by gathering in-process as-built product identity, inspection results, parametric data, and tooling information.
- Supplier Sequencing: Facilitates build-to-order and pick-and-pack ordering to streamline production, reduce inventory, lower costs, and increase profits.
