Integrations: One Source of Truth
FactoryWorx Production Management integrations with other primary sources of data, such as ERP / SAP enable MasterData Management capability. This ensures that every centrally created production order (PO) is available and consistent across all applications and any changes automatically update coders and printers on the line to print the correct batch/print data.
Importantly, the IIoT capability of FactoryWorx connects all production equipment, via smart sensors, to fully integrate the physical and digital business environment. This gives you real-time data and rich analytics for predictive planning and actions.
