EPICOR ERP, MES TOOLS TO ENHANCE BUSINESS VALUE

In the ever-changing manufacturing landscape, ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) and MES (Production Management) solutions are becoming key factors to help factories optimize processes and improve performance. Epicor solutions will focus on breakthrough technologies such as AI, IoT, and cloud platforms.

1. Cloud-based ERP: Optimize costs and increase flexibility

Cloud-based ERP makes it easy for factories to access data from anywhere, ensuring stable operations even when the supply chain fluctuates. Instead of investing heavily in hardware and maintenance, businesses only need to pay according to their needs.

A Volgren bus body manufacturing system in Australia has switched from legacy ERP software to Epicor Kinetic deployed on the cloud. The need for more accurate, real-time access to data was the main driver of that decision. “Information is key in any business,” explains the Director of IT and Systems at Volgren. “With our previous system, we had a lot of alternatives. The data was static, and manual access to data was slow. Epicor gives us instant access and visibility into all the data we need. It’s far superior.”

2. Integrating AI and Machine Learning in ERP: Boosting Prediction and Automation

Epicor Grow: A portfolio that uses AI to adapt to employee workflows and deliver insights.
Epicor Intelligent Data Capture (IDC): Uses machine learning algorithms to automatically extract data from documents, reducing manual data entry.
Epicor Enterprise Content Management (ECM): uses AI-powered features to improve productivity and reduce errors.
Grow AI: An AI-powered application that helps employees and drives business growth.

AI and machine learning are helping ERP systems predict demand, optimize production schedules, and reduce waste. These technologies help factories achieve higher productivity at lower costs.

3. IoT and MES Integration: Smart Manufacturing and Real-Time Monitoring

IoT and MES, when integrated with ERP, will provide continuous monitoring and control of the production line. IoT sensors help collect data from machines and transmit it directly to the ERP system for analysis. Thanks to analytical reports

A company operating in the field of precision mechanics in Vietnam has effectively applied Epicor MES to the system. Dai Nam Phat Precision Mechanics Company has solved important problems such as:

Monitoring and managing real-time operations of CNC lathes and CNC milling machines.
Collecting production data automatically and promptly with high reliability and accuracy.
Collecting downtime data and analyzing downtime causes.
Planning and monitoring/updating production progress in real time.
Improving factory OEE performance

“We feel relieved when using Epicor MES, a system that helps us track data in real time in the production process. This helps both senior management and employees update information easier and faster than before without having to use Excel as before.” Bui Thi Ha | PM & Chief Accountant of Dai Nam Phat Precision Mechanical Company.

4. Optimal user experience: easy-to-use ERP and data visualization

Epicor ERP and MES optimize the user experience through an intuitive, easy-to-use interface, helping users easily interact with the system without much training. The system provides intuitive dashboards and reports, displaying production, financial, and performance data through charts and graphs, helping managers quickly make accurate decisions. These tools not only reduce complexity but also help monitor production status and performance in real time, thereby improving responsiveness and optimizing processes.

5. Cybersecurity and Data Protection: Protecting Business Information

Epicor ERP and MES secure information through advanced measures such as data encryption, multi-factor authentication, and controlled access. These systems also comply with international security standards such as ISO 27001 and GDPR and use real-time monitoring to detect intrusions and anomalies. With a secure cloud platform, Epicor ensures that data and production systems are protected from cyber threats.
