The evolution of modern manufacturing software

Receiving

Unload incoming shipments

Your parts have arrived and are ready for inspection, which you'll add to ION so you can track them as they move through the factory.

Inspection

Examine and verify parts

Inspect incoming parts and record in ION. Capture key information like serial numbers and other traceability attributes. Create issues against any received inventory that is not as expected to track supplier quality.

Inventory

Manage raw materials and parts

Move parts to inventory and assign them barcodes so they can be tracked in ION across the entire product journey for advanced traceability. ION tracks consumption and allocation of parts to other assemblies. Submit inventory requests for an assembly kit in one click.

Planning

Create a production schedule

Plan production with constraint-based scheduling and predictive data. Enter the desired customer delivery date and ION will create a target schedule for building, testing, assembling, and ordering based on historical logs and inputs.

Cell Based Assembly

Track production processes

Ready to start building! Technicians follow step-by-step visual work instructions in ION. Every step is timed so you know exactly how long it takes to build a product. When there’s an issue, technicians can alert an engineer in real-time at the exact step where they encountered it – and an engineer can respond immediately.

Assembly

Assemble parts

ION also supports assembly line production.

Inspection

Identify and address quality issues

Assembly is complete and now it needs to be approved. Identify non-conformances and disposition for further actions.

Shipping

Prepare product for shipping

It’s time to ship final products to the customer. ION’s living digital thread provides traceability across the entire product lifecycle including maintenance and repair.

Leadership

Analyze KPIs

Monitor KPIs in ION to ensure profitability, adherence to delivery timelines, reduction of waste, and more. View insights in out-of-the-box dashboards or create your own report. You can also easily export all your data from ION for reports and audits.
