EPS Production
One order. Four stations. No walkie-talkie calls.
A live status line for the shop floor — every role sees where an order stands, the moment it changes.
Purpose
The shop floor, digitized
EPS Production is the middle layer between a plant's shop floor and an ERP system like SAP. It retrieves only the information the floor actually needs to do its job, and sends back only the review-and-approval information the ERP system needs in return.
It runs on any device with a browser. No installs, no special hardware — a phone, a tablet, a shop monitor all work the same way.
Why it's needed
What paper and walkie-talkie calls miss
Orders change without the floor finding out — someone has to walk over and ask what's actually being cut. Every order means three paper copies made by hand — one each for the Cutter, Packager, and Loader — and keeping all three in sync if anything changes. Inventory gets counted once a month, so it's wrong for most of it.
EPS Production replaces that with a live record: every status change is visible to everyone who needs it, the moment it happens, and inventory updates daily instead of monthly.
