Total Production Management Platform

Smart factory and industry 4.0, robots, IoT, cloud computing technology

DIGITALISING SMART FACTORIES

With AIDA software suite, you will get the ideal framework for digitalisation of your production.
Whether you want to connect your old machines, or integrate new modern one, AIDA has all prerequisites to integrate all of them, gather data from machines, send some data to machines, monitor all production, materials, semi-finished products, warehouses – you are getting true Total Production management.

INDUSTRY 4.0

A combination of cyber-physical systems, the Internet of Things and the Internet of Systems make Industry 4.0 possible and the smart factory a reality. As a result of the support of smart machines that keep getting smarter as they get access to more data, our factories will become more efficient and productive and less wasteful. Ultimately, it's the network of these machines that are digitally connected with one another and create and share information that results in the true power of Industry 4.0. – This is exactly what AIDA is doing at your factory!

UNLOCK THE FULL POTENTIAL OF YOUR PRODUCTION

Data is the driver of business processes, and when harnessed properly, it can boost organizations in unseen ways and even render outdated business models obsolete. The ability to harness its power is today’s great differentiator. But with so much data at our disposal, putting it to action is an art form in itself. With AIDA software suite, and its modules you will be able to use all the dana from your production floor at the best, and boost your future production and processes.

VARIOUS ERP INTEGRATION

AIDA software suite is focused on vertical and horizontal integration on your production floor. On the top AIDA can integrate with almost every ERP system, and when you add that with unlimited options of connectivity with machines, sensors, etc. In the end, you have one well connected and integrated robust production system on which you can rely on.

REVEAL YOUR HIDDEN FACTORY

Many manufacturers may desire to increase throughput and revenues, but are hesitant to invest in new equipment, expand their factory footprint or add a second shift. The best solution is to release the untapped capacity held within the hidden factory.
With AIDA software suite you will have access and real time view in all processes in your production, and when you combine it with all the dana which is gathered in real time, you will be able to identify all bottlenecks, loses, wasteful operations, and in the end make changes that will increase your productivity and generate additional revenue.

Features

Bill of materials

Production orders drive ERP data distribution to each machine and the generation of bills of materials or product composition notes and related queries and signals to prevent stock out and stock purchase: lists the raw materials, sub-assemblies, intermediate assemblies, sub-components, parts, or tooling.

Material flow control

Full Inventory system (WMS)

The fully-featured warehouse management system is an integral part of AIDA. It gives easy control of the storage and movement of materials within warehouses. It manages process transactions on materials which include shipping, receiving, put-away, and picking. It has built-in customizable location management and FIFO/LIFO/FEFO product flow management. All information about these transactions are shared with other business systems (e.g., SAP).

Quality assurance (embedded or stand-alone)

AIDA can connect to various Quality Control equipment to automatically gather data and make interventions in the production processes (including rejects, reworks, and remedy). All these actions are stored, and various reports are automatically generated.

OEE/OOE

With all the data gathered from various systems and machines in production, AIDA makes visible how well manufacturing resources are utilized (facilities, time, and materials). OEE is the single best metric for identifying losses, benchmarking progress, and improving the productivity of manufacturing equipment (i.e. eliminating waste). The workforce, as the crucial part of the production system, can be a part of the metric system to measure Overall Operators Efficiency too.

Real time production tracking

AIDA will provides essential top-down overviews of line production tracking, with options to display data using 3D model overlays of the production floor, to detect quickly where and in what phase some product order is, where bottlenecks are present etc. All this data helps to improve processes and engenders greater agility and precision in production planning.

Shop floor data collection -> IIOT

One of the main advantages of AIDA is its ability to connect to various systems and machines in production. AIDA collects, processes, and analyses that data. It thus offers an authoritative source to drive reporting, ad-hoc analysis, planning, and the future improvements of operations and production itself e.g., Edge Computing, Fog Computing. The best approaches undoubtedly offer prospects for the best results.

Advanced analytics and reporting

Making faster decisions and prioritizing actions to drive constant improvement in your production are the immediate consequences of the new view of the organisation offered by AIDA. We have developed many standard reports and analytic tools, and we can quickly develop new as well as customize standard modules upon client request.

Standards compliance and traceability

As a proprietary solution supporting many clients for many years, AIDA today ensures compliance to many standards, from TPD (EU Tobacco Product Directive) on a process level to GS1 re: marking. AIDA's custom Trace and Track solutions enable a fully connected, real-time supply chain. From the plant floor and warehouse operations right through to distribution it provides agility, traceability, and visibility of goods, people, assets and events. Whether the requirement is compliance with the latest traceability standards, to minimize inventory, manage supplier performance, or meet stringent just-in-time schedules.

Various types of item level marking and identification

AIDA server-based marking and identification can be used with various marking and identification equipment. From Thermal Transfer and Direct Thermal Printers and applicators, CIJ (Continuous Ink Jet) Printers to Laser Marking machines and different identification barcode readers and cameras. Our Production Marking includes marking all relevant materials, parts, and products that are involved in the production process. Distribution Marking allows logistic marking and non-homogeneous package marking.

Horizontal integration

AIDA can be easily connected to various third party systems throughout supply and distribution chain to provide automatic EDI communication to improve throughput.

Vertical integration

AIDA can easily create two-way communication with a wide range of production equipment. AIDA can collect data from machines for onward data exchange, as well as transmitting of processed data back to those same machines, to have full visibility of the processes and enable automatic real-time interventions. AIDA's expansive feature sets means it is aptly named as a Total Production Management suite. AIDA is a proprietary solution which, when connected to a Client's ERP system and production lines, reveals the hidden factory.
