Machine building, with parts that arrive on time.

Machines and installations built to customer order, with thousands of parts and long lead times. Frontlink links engineering, purchasing and assembly, so the build starts when the parts are there.

One order, its whole route.

In make-to-order manufacturing each order runs its own route past workstations. Follow the numbers: what Frontlink tracks for one order, from routing to delivery date.

  1. 1 / 6The order from your ERP

    Order, quantity, delivery date and routing come from your ERP. Here: 40 frames for Van Dijk Techniek.

  2. 2 / 6Four operations, their own workstations

    Sawing, welding, powder coating, assembly. Each operation can only run on workstations that can do it. Frontlink knows which.

  3. 3 / 6Ready to move on?

    Is the material there, are the workstations capable, does the plan fit? What's missing is shown with the order.

  4. 4 / 6What the floor reports

    Welding is in progress: 26 of 40 counted. Sawing is done. The rest is planned.

  5. 5 / 6Late, and visible

    Welding runs a day over. Frontlink shows the delay and moves the rest of the route along.

  6. 6 / 6Ask Frontlink

    Will we still make Friday? The answer comes from the route and the plan, with a proposal you approve.

What is different in this industry.

  1. The bill changes during the project

    Engineering is still changing things while purchasing orders. Frontlink keeps the bill of materials per project version and shows what a change means.

  2. Waiting for one part

    Assembly stops for one missing part. Frontlink shows per assembly which parts are in, on order or late.

  3. Hours per project

    Projects run over without anyone seeing it in time. Frontlink records hours per assembly against the budget while the project runs.

What it looks like in practice.

Engineering changes the motor in a packaging machine. Frontlink shows that the old motor is already on order, which assemblies are affected and that the new motor's lead time moves the factory test by a week.

Solutions that deliver the most here.

  1. PlanningA plan that knows what is really happening on the floor. Orders come from your ERP, progress comes from the line, and when something moves the warehouse, sales and the customer know straight away.
  2. Orders and customer contactRequests arrive by email, as PDF or Excel. Frontlink calculates the quote, prepares the order in your ERP and keeps the customer informed all the way to shipment.
  3. PerformanceFrontlink measures rate, downtime and scrap per line, per order and per shift. So you see where things go wrong while it still matters, and what an order really cost.

Problems we often see here.

Frequently asked questions.

Does Frontlink work for one-off machines?

Yes. Each machine is a project with its own bill of materials and planning, built from your standard modules or from scratch.

Can we see which parts are late?

Yes. Per assembly Frontlink shows which parts are in stock, ordered or late, so you plan assembly on what is actually there.

Can service see what was built?

Frontlink keeps the bill of materials as built per machine, so service knows which parts are in it.
