Integrated planning and scheduling system adds shopfloor data
UK manufacturers will be among the first to benefit from a seamless integration of Preactor's advanced planning and scheduling software and shpfloor data collection from riteSOFT.
RiteTIME, from riteSOFT, tracks employees' time in real time as they work on resources and then reports back to Preactor, allowing immediate updating of the live production plan.
Greg Quinn, CEO of Quinn & Associates, the North American network partner for Preactor, says that, having recognised the potential of a Preactor/riteTIME link, developers from both companies worked to develop the integration.
Mike Novels, CEO of Preactor is enthusiastic. "Not only is riteTIME a well executed product in its own right, [but] riteSOFT genuinely understands how valuable the data it allows businesses to collect can be to maximising their planning and scheduling capabilities.
"RiteTIME closes the loop between the shopfloor and the production plan, and, when combined with Preactor, manufacturers can expect impressive and cumulative benefits that are greater than the sum of their parts."
