Additional Product Information
Global manufacturers are constantly fighting to make products faster, better and cheaper. By analyzing past production results, forecasting future production, linking through intranets and partnering for cheaper production, manufacturing processes have improved significantly. What's missing from this picture is live information.
Viewing Multiple Facilities as a Single, Virtual Factory
Live information is key for successful global manufacturing, enhancing the historic information found in ERP systems and improving the forecasting for supply chain management. In addition, if fully leveraged, live information can improve business efficiencies and the bottom line.
Camstar's Virtual Factory?, anchored by InSiteLive?, allows companies to see and manage live production information from distributed facilities as a single, virtual factory.
With the Virtual Factory, companies are able to:
Track products that flow across several sites
View orders and quality data across multiple plants and partners
Compare performance and quality for the same product made in different plants
Synchronize multiple plants to meet demand
Control and distribute product/process specifications easily
