- Modify routings in real time to ensure production stays up to date even when processes or requirements change.
- Empower operators with detailed documentation, including rich text support, images, file attachments, and commenting.


Visualize Production Capacity
Quickly visualize your bill of materials and bill of operations to identify bottlenecks before they affect production.
- Visualize production from anywhere to stay updated without being on the production floor.
- Create complex assemblies with multiple production items and easily analyze where you can increase efficiency.
- Identify production slowdowns by reviewing in-depth process information to know exactly where a job is delayed
Plan for Inventory, Tooling and Materials
Assign items to routings and processes to ensure you always have what you need when you need it.
- Assign tooling to processes so operators know what they need and where it is.
- Know inventory amounts prior to scheduling a job and automatically notify purchasers if anything needs to be resupplied or purchased.
- Document where inventory lives and where to place it after each operation to stop wasting time searching for stock.


Naming Structure and Revision Control
Track revisions and product lifecycle, flag rough drafts and first article components, and enforce a consistent naming structure for all components.
- Track revisions and product lifecycle so you can track manufacturing on historical and new iterations.
- Flag Drafts and First Article Components so they can be easily spotted from the schedule or shop floor.
