SCADA Open Platform

Partners · ERP vendors

Close the loop between the order and the line.

The ERP sends the production order; SOP runs it on the line and sends back what was made, what was used, what stopped and what was repaired, with a signed record.

The ERP sends the order, SOP runs it

The loop, in one line.

  • Who this page is for — mid-market and regional ERP vendors and their implementation partners, the ones factories already run finance and orders on.
  • What the shop floor asks for — execution, consumption, meters, maintenance and the record.
  • The loop — the ERP sends the production order; SOP runs it on the line and sends back what was made, what was used, what stopped and what was repaired, with a signed record.
  • Plant-to-ledger — your offer becomes plant-to-ledger.

What comes back: made, used, stopped, repaired — signed

What was made, what was used, what stopped and what was repaired — with a signed record.

What comes back.

  • Orders and batches — EMS orders and batches, with made and used per batch.
  • The parts-store ledger — what moved off the shelf, against which job.
  • Work orders — with labour and parts priced.
  • Reports over an order — the record, computed and signed over the order itself.
  • The seam — order, material, stock-movement and work-order interfaces.
  • These are what can be shown today, on the running plant.

Inside your own contract

What a partnership would have to settle.

  • Per line, inside your own contract — per-line bundles you can price inside your own contracts.
  • The decision we are after — add SOP as the plant-floor module of your offer.
  • Who owns the master data — materials, products and units: the ERP, or SOP. Settled once, per plant.
  • Which market first — which ERP, in which region, fits first.
  • Resell, or refer — both shapes are open, and settled in the conversation.

Joint reference plants

Where it goes together.

  • Joint reference plants — the plants where the loop is closed once, and both offers can point at it.
  • No plant is named — none exists yet to name, and none would be named.
