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.

Every order its own route.

Which operations an order needs comes from the routing in your ERP. Per operation Frontlink knows which workstations can do it.

Does the planner drag an operation to a workstation that can't do it? Frontlink says so.

Changeovers counted in.

Between two orders time goes into changing over. Frontlink estimates it from format, size and product family, and counts it in the plan.

Planning orders with the same colour or format back to back saves time. The plan shows it.

What we build with you.

Frontlink started in the supplement industry. In make-to-order manufacturing there are things we work out together with you, on your own processes.

  • Built with youDrawings and revisions

    The right drawing with the operation, on the operator's screen.

  • Built with youSerial numbers

    Record per product what went into it and who worked on it.

  • Built with youOutsourced work

    Operations done outside, in the same route and plan.

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. Production and operatorsAt the line, operators see the order, the steps and the instruction for each step. Materials are scanned, checks recorded and the shift hands over digitally. No paper, no retyping.
  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.

Frequently asked questions.

Does this work for one-offs and small series?

Yes. Frontlink plans per order and per operation, whether it is one piece or a series.

Do we need machine connections?

No, you can start with operators recording on the tablet. We connect machines later through the edge gateway if you want.

Can we shorten changeovers?

Frontlink shows how much time changeovers cost per machine and per sequence. So you see where you can gain.
