Epoptia MES is very sophisticated software that fits perfectly in manufacturing companies with 20-60 employees per production & Epoptia instance.

Is a complete platform with state-of-the-art technology providing a solution to various problems and expectations, not only tracking.

There are some types of manufacturers that might find Epoptia enticing, but if your business is functioning in the way described below, you might find Epoptia easy for the operators but time-consuming for the executives:

• Receive orders every day by phone, or email, or by physical presentation of your client to your premises and you draw sketches to papers while receiving them. After that, you put this “paper-sketch” into production.
• You are making custom-made products with minimum standardization. (Refer mainly to small machine shop type manufacturers)
• You have low complexity in processes and you don’t need sophisticated workflows.
• You only want to have Tracking control i.e. The product passed through those production processes.
• You want to send orders to specific people and only want to know if they are ready.
• You don’t have any ERP/MRP production experience, you use Excel for your inventory and you do not want to use any of them, in the near future.
• You don’t need any extra integration like IoT
• You don’t need extra information to be taken from your operators, except that the job is ready.

If you meet all of the above requirements Epoptia MES is not for you.

Manufacturers with another type of functionality than the above, or Enterprises who already use ERP/MRP, are MES ready and may require a more integrated system, depending on their specific needs.

One of the biggest advantages of Epoptia is its proven ease of use.

The software has been developed inside production, with the help of the operators for more than 7 years. This is why operators need only 15-20 minutes of training in order to start using Epoptia MES.

Executives need more training time, but the interface is modern and user friendly. Also, dashboards contain concise and to the point information for everyday use.

As far as the integration concerns, there are many factors that affect the volume of integration into existing production processes. One of these, it is the efficient cooperation between supplier and client. Nevertheless, we have put our whole experience in manufacturing in order for the software to be agile and cover the most possible cases.

We have already successfully integrated with lots of manufacturing companies of different types.

The software has been developed in order to help manufacturers grow their businesses and transform their production into a data-driven enterprise. At the same time, they are entering Industry 4.0 era in the easiest possible way, with seamless communication between multiple levels of the organization.

The main functionality even from the “Basic” plan is Production tracking, management, and control with extensive capabilities.

Yes, we do.

It is just a guide to give you an idea of our team’s approach.

Yes, Epoptia is suitable for custom-made products too.

In terms of planning and scheduling for productions with ONLY custom-made products, there is also a capability of a manual insert of nominal cycle times that are used in our dashboards.

Epoptia Workstation is not only a machine, or an operator. 

Is hybrid depending on your procedures and other factors.

With the agility of the Cloud the only equipment that you may need is tablets, or existing PCs, or even smartphones that have access to the internet.

No extra equipment is required for the main use of Epoptia. If you want to use extra functionalities you may use printers, barcode readers, sensors, etc….

Epoptia MES cannot be downloaded.

It is a Cloud-based platform and everything is working properly in the Cloud. For the clients that need extra customizations and there is a need for On-Premise installation, please contact us.

In the above case, you will need a Server machine as equipment.

Yes, you can use Epoptia.

We have a complete work order system, where you can insert products, specs and we use custom fields as a Bill of materials.

But keep in mind that we do not have capabilities as an actual ERP system. (Inventory, Procurement, CRM, Sales, Invoicing, etc…)

Epoptia is a specialized MES that cooperates bidirectional with ERP systems and other peripherals.

In other words, it extends ERP capabilities.

Provides ERP Synchronization with API connection, which allows you to integrate your existing procedures, eliminate papers in the production, spread the tasks into production automatically via our workflows, and keep track of your BOMs with their actual quantities (Sending back to ERP is coming soon via Webhooks).

Moreover, extensive organization & management capabilities are provided along with a state-of-the-art system that informs you if the everyday workload can be achieved with the use of a Machine Learning Algorithm.

There are extra capabilities for data entry inside the production like comments or photos, and special settings for proper distribution of the ΒΟΜ’s to the workstations. Also, there is an extra type of custom field that provides Quality Contol for procedures and products during production.

Set those target times to workstations and let Epoptia indicate operators for their performance. At any time you can let Epoptia provide target times when it passes its learning phase. Optimizing your production productivity.

Check out your KPI’s such as OEE (Performance, Availability, Quality) in real-time per day and in a historical date range.

Schedule your production with the use of Gantt charts, detect bottlenecks instantly with graphics and notifications, be more agile, and spread workload easily. Get an estimation about work orders completion date, that as the system gets smarter they are getting more precise.

Make capacity planning utilizing your resources to the maximum.

BI uses a complete reporting suite that includes:

• Operator reports
• Workstation reports
• Factory reports
• Alarm & Downtime reports
• Product cycle times reports

Extend your integration with API Connection. Use our documentation and special custom fields and record measurements like weighting or acquire machine start & stops. You can also connect sensors and make compare rules for off-limit alarms.
