In the manufacturing industry, companies regularly run into the fact that planning for different production lines is a challenge of magnitude. When planning is complex, it is almost impossible for one person to put together an optimal work schedule. Fortunately, automation can be a help here by merging different sources. The advantage for the entrepreneur: less time-intensive and more flexible when it comes to adjustments.
In fact, a schedule is nothing more than a representation of production expectations. The expectation in an (optimal) situation where goods are delivered on time and man and machine experience no downtime. Real-time machine data makes it possible to read progress directly, including actual production compared to expected production. Automatically combining machine data with the production planning frees up a lot of time. Deviations or changes can be automatically communicated to employees on the floor.
Often companies already use different software packages to create sales orders or track inventory. These usually do not communicate with each other. BeGuru links all these data sources, processes changes instantly and brings the information together at a central point.
