ION FACTORY OS: Manufacturing Software System

ION FACTORY OS TOP FEATURES

• Build it digitally before you build it in real life

  Provide builders with step-by-step visualizations of what they're building so they have context and clarity. Define a complete set of tasks and procedures to accurately meet specifications for assemblies and sub-assemblies. Set milestones along the way for sign-off approval and quality assurance checks.

• Generate barcodes to track every tool and part

  Never lose track of inventory. Assign every part and tool a barcode to track physical inventory and tools across factory locations or within the same factory. New shipment arrival? Have your receiving team create barcodes for every part. Ready to start kitting? Scan the barcode to record its new location.

• Automate revision control

  Multiple versions, incomplete documents, duplicated work: in rapid iterative production, your system of record can quickly get out of hand. ION simplifies your revision control, automatically creating a single living repository for product status and history. Automate repetitive and labor tasks, reduce manual overhead and non-value work, and give your team the right information, when they need it.  

• Trace everything you build with ION

  See all the components from the top level down to the screw that was used. Manual traceability is not only time-consuming but also often fragmented and misses key information. ION’s unique aBOM model provides automated as-built traceability across the supply chain and manufacturing process. ION bridges your inventory to upstream purchase orders and downstream manufacturing workflows so you can track components from receiving inspections through production, installation, and delivery.

• Boost collaboration between engineers and technicians

  Legacy tools create siloes between engineers and operators. ION factory production software brings design and manufacturing together, where they belong. Collaboration tools and a Slack integration open up the lines of communication so technicians can ask questions and raise concerns while the build is happening and hear back from engineers within minutes. Capture in-process data, redlines, and issues in real time so you can make corrections before it's too late.
