Shop Floor

ATOMIC SF (Shop Floor) — provides an online communication medium between customer service reps, production planners, machine operators and inventory control personnel. Creates a common front-end to view shop floor activity, leveraging real-time production data to streamline the planning and flow of material throughout the plant. Fills a major hole in most ERP systems by offering an interactive discrete production scheduler with real-time micro-level job forecasting. Provides all departments with visibility to estimated completion times, material shortages, tool status, and much more.

Note: This video depicts the “green screen” version of ATOMIC (version 3.5 and prior).
Check back this summer for a video preview to the browser-based ATOMIC version 4.0 for Valence.
