INDUSTRY KNOW-HOW · EPS & EPP MANUFACTURING
From energy and materials.
To production intelligence.
Connect electricity, gas and material inputs with manufacturing processes, ERP, MRP and MES. We help EPS and EPP manufacturers bring planning, shop-floor activity and production costs into one connected view.

INDUSTRY KNOW-HOW · TRANSFORMATION USE CASE
Understand the factory. Connect the information.
Our manufacturing know-how connects physical production with the information systems behind it. We map your EPS and EPP workflows, utility inputs and operational data, then define practical integrations around the way your factory works.

Materials & energy inputs
Know what goes in. Understand what it costs.
Connect raw materials, electricity and gas with production activity. Include water, steam and compressed air where relevant to your installed equipment.
- Track material receipts, grades, batches and stock.
- Link metered consumption to production periods and output.
- Separate measurements from estimates and cost allocations.
A clearer basis for understanding resource use and production costs.
Review your production inputs ↗EPS & EPP production processes
Make every production stage visible.
Map the actual routes for expanded polystyrene (EPS) and expanded polypropylene (EPP), keeping material requirements and process stages distinct.
- Map applicable EPS pre-expansion, conditioning, molding, cutting and finishing.
- Map EPP material preparation, shape molding, conditioning and finishing as required by the equipment and product.
- Connect batches, tooling, cycle times and process records.
A production model shaped around your factory.
ERP & business operations
Connect the factory to the business.
Link Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) with production information so purchasing, inventory, sales and finance share consistent records.
- Align product codes, bills of materials, units and locations.
- Connect orders, purchasing, stock movements and finished goods.
- Bring material, energy and conversion costs into reporting.
Consistent information from customer demand to financial results.
MRP & production planning
Plan materials around real demand.
Use Material Requirements Planning (MRP) to translate demand into material needs, connected with stock, lead times and production constraints.
- Calculate requirements from orders, forecasts and bills of materials.
- Consider stock, expected receipts, scrap assumptions and supplier lead times.
- Coordinate material plans with machine capacity, molds, changeovers and delivery dates.
A clearer view of what to buy, what to produce and when to act.
MES & shop-floor execution
See the plan become production.
Connect a Manufacturing Execution System (MES) with shop-floor activity through available machine interfaces or practical operator input.
- Track work orders, output, cycle times, downtime and scrap.
- Link production records with material batches and quality results.
- Return consumption and completed quantities to ERP and planning.
Visibility into progress and the reasons behind deviations.
Discuss ERP, MRP & MES integration ↗Quality, traceability & performance
Turn production data into better decisions.
Bring output, quality and resource use together to investigate losses and agree improvement priorities. Compare equivalent products and operating conditions.
- Trace materials through batches, work orders and finished goods.
- Monitor yield, rejects, downtime and energy per agreed output unit.
- Build production and management dashboards with clear data definitions.
Evidence for improving delivery, resource use and consistency.
