Most manufacturers have a Material Requirement Planning system (MRP), Manufacturing Execution System (MES) such as Intellect eQMS, or Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) such as Oracle and SAP. As a standalone unit, an automated programming system (APS) is disconnected from the manufacturer’s process workflow software. But even relatively easy-to-use software has a learning curve.
BPM Microsystems process software, BPWin, is arguably the best in the industry.
