Software 4Prod

4prod

4Prod is a powerful Manufacturing Execution System (MES) designed to manage, monitor, and control production processes in real time.

This solution enables companies to improve efficiencyproductivity, and quality, offering full visibility across every stage of the manufacturing lifecycle.

Operational Flows and Functionalities

  • view and manage article, customer, supplier, and packaging data imported from ERP or created directly in the MES
  • enrich ERP-imported records with production-specific data to optimize manufacturing operations
  • import BOMs from ERP or create them directly within the MES
  • advanced production scheduling with optimized resource allocation (materials, personnel, machinery)
  • activity programming and prioritization
  • urgency and priority management
  • create production orders directly in MES or import from ERP
  • real-time monitoring of order progress, including revisions and variants
  • full digitalization of orders, eliminating paper-based workflows
  • real-time control of all operational phases
  • management of setup, start-up, processing, teardown, and closure with actual time tracking
  • monitoring of deviations between planned and actual cycle times
  • coordination of raw materials, semi-finished, and finished goods to prevent interruptions
  • flow optimization and Kanban management
  • reduction of in-process inventory
  • real-time tracking of production progress
  • automatic cycle time acquisition from machines (where applicable)
  • downtime management with root cause analysis
  • in-line quality checks
  • immediate anomaly reporting
  • lot management and custom label printing
  • automatic recording of material usage
  • return-to-stock management to reduce waste and optimize inventory
  • operator assignment tracking per machine and shift
  • activity traceability and performance monitoring
  • real-time visualization of production status
  • key performance indicators: OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness), efficiency, cycle times, scrap rates, and more
  • full control of material movements
  • end-to-end traceability from raw materials to finished products—and vice versa
  • system customization to meet specific business needs
