ERP Integration - SAP, Prophet, Infor

Integrate production with your ERP

Create a single source of truth for your manufacturing business by connecting your ERP with production and packing.

Siloed production systems lead to:

• Higher operating costs. Reliance on manual double entry (sometimes more) of critical information.

• Slow processes

• Increased opportunity for error (rekeying incorrect data, no automatic verification of actions)

• Decreased agility and ability to understand the full value stream. Why and where is waste?

ERP integration can dramatically impact your manufacturing business by streamlining and providing critical real-time information. OAL can help integrate:

  • Compliance. Quality management. Paperless. User access and management.

  • Labelling. Label/artwork design. Label information. Date coding. Country of origin.

  • Machinery. Control. Reporting. Machine optimisation.

  • Production. Bill of materials. Recipe control. Job tracking. Scheduling. OEE. Process optimisation. Batch execution.

  • Reporting. Shopfloor. Mobile. Cloud (AWS, Power BI).

  • Traceability. Material tracking. Inventory management. Warehouse management. Mass balance.

OAL helps food manufacturers integrate their ERP systems across a number of applications.

  1. Label and date code verification. Instead of maintaining two product databases, SKU packaging, data code and variable field (country of origin) data can be held in your ERP.

  2. Right product - raw material validation. Integration to ERP can validate ingredients and raw materials usage against live jobs and bill of materials in production. For example, to enable or disable the tip sequence to prevent incorrect materials from being introduced. Finished good values recorded in real-time are also passed back to the ERP database.

  3. Scheduling and works order visualisation. Receive scheduled works orders from your ERP and visualise works order progress through your factory, including real-time ingredient traceability and consumption.
