Build Your Manufacturing Foundation

Before production can run, your setup must be solid. Define operations, configure workstation types, register physical machines, and chain them into routing templates that your BOMs and work orders depend on.

Everything You Need to Configure Your Production

The Manufacturing Setup module establishes the building blocks for all production activity. Configure it once and every BOM, work order, and job card benefits from a consistent, well-defined foundation.

Operations

Define manufacturing steps once and reuse them across all products for consistent production and accurate costing.

Workstations

Configure every machine with cost rates and capacity tracking for accurate production costing and shop floor management.

Workstation Types

Group machines under shared categories so a single rate update applies consistently across your entire facility.

Routing

Build reusable production sequences and apply them to any product with automatic step and cost inheritance.

Manage every production step

This is where you manage every manufacturing step your organization performs. Approved operations are instantly available across products, while drafts stay safely isolated until ready.

Find Operations FastFind any operation instantly as your list grows. Consistent, organized operations keep your production process clean and repeatable.

Bulk Management ActionsApprove or remove multiple operations at once to keep everything production-ready. Unvalidated steps never reach the shop floor.

Configure time, machines, and batches

Each operation captures everything needed to execute and cost a production step: the machine it runs on, how long it takes, and how many units are processed at once. The system handles accurate cost calculations automatically.

Automatic Machine RoutingEach operation is linked to the right class of machine, so production tasks are always routed correctly, reducing errors and keeping your shop floor running efficiently.

Fixed Time & Batch ControlWhether an operation runs for a fixed duration or scales with quantity, the system costs it correctly. Define batch sizes to match how your shop floor actually works.

Categorize your machines by type

Group your production equipment into logical categories: CNC machines, assembly lines, finishing stations, and more. Shared cost rates flow automatically to every machine in each category, keeping your facility costing consistent at scale.

Controlled Type ApprovalOnly approved types are available for use across your production setup, ensuring consistency and preventing unverified categories from entering your process.

Scalable Type ManagementAdd as many types as your facility needs, from a handful of broad categories to dozens of specialized classifications. The structure grows with your operation.

Centralize cost rates across machines

Factory costs are a major business expense. Centralizing rates at the type level means one update instantly reaches every linked machine, keeping your product costing accurate without the overhead of editing each individually.

One-Click Rate PropagationUpdate a rate once at the type level and it flows to every linked machine instantly, with no manual updates and no outdated costs.

Complete Category VisibilitySee all machines within a type at a glance: their status, availability, and rate, for complete oversight of each equipment category.

Monitor your entire shop floor

Get a live view of every machine across your facility: what is available, what is under maintenance, and what is at capacity, so production is always directed to the right resources.

Live Availability TrackingSupervisors always know which machines are ready for work, preventing scheduling conflicts and keeping production moving without delays.

Bulk Creation & ManagementCommission a fleet of identical machines in one step. Ideal for factories scaling up with standardized equipment.

Configure capacity, costs, and utilization

Each workstation is configured with its own capacity and cost rate, broken down by component. This ensures every production task is costed accurately, reflecting the real economics of running your shop floor.

Detailed Cost AttributionBreak each machine's hourly rate into electricity, labour, consumables, and rent, so your production costs always reflect real factory economics.

Configure capacity, costs, and utilization

Organize and approve production sequences

Routings are the backbone of standardized manufacturing, capturing your proven production sequences so they can be applied consistently across every similar product.

Approval-Controlled AvailabilityOnly reviewed and approved sequences reach the shop floor, keeping your production disciplined and your quality consistent.

Define Once, Deploy EverywhereBuild a production sequence once and reuse it across any product that follows the same process, accelerating new product setup and eliminating repetitive configuration.

Organize and approve production sequences

Build step-by-step production sequences

Build ordered production sequences from first cut to final finish. Apply any routing to a product and all steps are set up instantly, giving you consistency across your product range and flexibility wherever you need it.

Intuitive Sequence BuildingReorder steps to optimize your production flow as your process evolves. The system keeps everything in sync automatically.

Product-Specific Step OverridesFine-tune individual steps for a specific product without affecting the shared definition, giving you standardization where you want it and flexibility where you need it.

Built for Precision, Designed for Scale

From a single workshop to a multi-line factory, the Manufacturing Setup module provides the structured foundation your production team needs to operate consistently and efficiently.
