Process Trakker is the first process tracking solution made from the inside out of
the manufacturing process with ease of use and little, if any, data input from the
manufacturing floor.
Process Trakker combines valuable information gathering with real-time, Smart
Client-based insight into exactly what is happening on the manufacturing floor.
Rather than learning of a backlog or bottleneck two weeks after the fact, a
manager or supervisor can identify, interact, and prevent issues before they
become problems.
Process Trakker is build to make your manufacturing process as efficient as
possible by providing real time information to the appropriate individuals who can
ensure the process is running as close to 100% as possible.
Start: Items or workorders are entered into the Process Trakker system
Track: Items or workorders through a defined process
Identify: Maintenance or production issues in real time
Production: Ensure production levels are in line with
expectations.

Know you are dealing with something
new from your first introduction. No
more CD-ROMs or license keys… all
initial software and updates are done
via the web.
Each time the application starts up it
will check the PICS servers to see if
a new version exists, if it does, it
downloads it automatically (once
allowed).

The ProcessTrakker
Dashboard is the most
advanced on the
market.
From one screen you
can view your entire
manufacturing process
in real time.
Each area shows
number of items or
orders, their current time
in production and
average times per area.

By clicking on a specific area you can view all the orders and
associated details for each order including a full history report
of that order to the second.

Here is an example of
an area screen
conducting an initial
warehouse function.
This screen allows a
user to associate item
numbers to a work
order. This can be done
manually or
automatically based on
your needs.
All area screens are
customized to your
specific requirements.

Here is another screen
showing how an area will
move in and out of
production. For this screen
a user simply has to scan a
barcode beside their
computer monitor to change
what state of production they
are in by work order number.

Important things to consider:
1.
Only users associated with their respective area can login to their area
2.
Little, if any, interaction is required by your floor users
3.
Areas can be phased in over time. Barcodes can be used then RFID
4.
Fix issues on the floor before they become problems
5.
Be notified immediately of any maintenance problems
6.
Employ “Best Practice” techniques known to your business to increase
production
7.
If you are not producing at 100%, learn why so you can get to 100%
8.
Management can have access to real time data from anywhere in the world
whenever they need it
9.
Empower managers and supervisors to make real time decisions that will
dramatically affect the bottom line of your business
