What It Does

A Smart Factory Is Not About More Machines. It Is About Connected Ones.

Most factories already collect plenty of data. The problem is that it sits in islands. The machine knows its own status, the planning sheet knows the schedule, the operator knows what just went wrong, but none of them are talking to each other. Decisions get made on yesterday's numbers, and problems are noticed only after they have already cost output.

SYSPRO's smart factory closes those gaps. It connects equipment, processes, and teams through real-time data, AI, and IoT, turning Industry 4.0 from a buzzword into measurable results. Live dashboards track equipment status, material flow, and performance, so you can act before an issue reaches the customer. Smart sensors and AI-driven workflows reduce manual effort and flex with changing production volumes.

Because it is built on SYSPRO's Manufacturing Operations Management suite and an open API architecture, machines, systems, and people link through one platform rather than a tangle of point tools. You do not have to rip anything out to start. You build digital capability progressively from the ERP's intelligent core, adding connected services as the value becomes clear.

One Connected Picture Machines, systems, and people share the same live data in SYSPRO, so the whole factory works from one current view rather than separate islands.

The floor and the system share one live picture. You act on now, not yesterday.
How It Works

Connect, Sense, Decide, Then Act on the Floor.

The smart factory is a loop. Machines and people feed live data into SYSPRO, the system turns it into insight, and your teams act on it while it still matters. Then it starts again.

What's Inside

The Building Blocks of a Factory That Thinks Ahead.

SYSPRO turns Industry 4.0 into capabilities you can switch on as the value becomes clear. These are the pieces that connect your floor, surface what matters, and help you act before problems cost you output.

Visibility

Live Dashboards and OEE

See the full picture with live dashboards that track equipment status, material flow, and performance. Monitor OEE, downtime, and variance with dynamic dashboards instead of static reports, so you can act before issues impact output.

Connected

IoT and Sensor Integration

Link machines, systems, and people through connected manufacturing. Smart sensors capture conditions across the floor and feed them into SYSPRO in real time, turning physical equipment into a live source of operational data.

Uptime

Predictive Maintenance

Leverage sensors, predictive maintenance, and machine-learning insights to optimize performance and prevent downtime. Spot the early signs of equipment trouble and schedule a fix before a breakdown stops the line.

Automation

Robotic Process Automation

Use RPA and AI-driven workflows to automate repetitive tasks and reduce manual work across production and admin. Intelligent bots free your people for higher-value work and let the operation flex with changing volumes.

Mobile

Mobile KPIs and Alerts

Give teams mobile access to KPIs, alerts, and job data, powering instant responses and on-the-floor problem solving. Managers and operators see live job status wherever they are, so decisions do not wait for a desk.

Open

Open API Architecture

Integrate CRM, supply chain, manufacturing execution, and other applications through SYSPRO's flexible API ecosystem and cloud architecture. Connect the tools you already run rather than replacing your whole stack.

Inside the Suite

A Smart Factory Needs a Smart Core.

Connected machines only create value if something turns their signals into decisions. SYSPRO is that intelligent core. Real-time data from the floor flows into scheduling, analytics, and maintenance within one platform, so a reading from a machine becomes a planning change, a dashboard alert, or a work order without ever leaving the system.

Built Into SYSPRO ERP, Not Bolted On

Manufacturing Operations

Shop floor data collection and finite-capacity scheduling connect directly to execution. Real-time signals from the floor feed planning, so schedules reflect what is actually happening on the machines, not last week's assumptions.

Business Intelligence

Live dashboards track equipment status, material flow, and performance, monitoring OEE, downtime, and variance dynamically rather than in static reports. The same data that runs the floor drives the analytics leaders rely on.

Maintenance and Assets

Sensors and machine-learning insights support predictive maintenance, flagging issues before they cause downtime. A predicted fault can raise an alert and a work order inside the same system that schedules the job around it.

Live.

Floor Visibility

Dashboards show equipment status, material flow, and performance as it happens, so you can act before an issue reaches output.

API Architecture

Open APIs and cloud architecture link machines, systems, and people, integrating CRM, supply chain, MES, and more into one connected operation.

Source of Truth

Floor data and business data live in the same platform, so a signal from a machine and a number in a report are always the same fact.

Industries Served

For Factories Ready to Run on Data.

Smart factory thinking pays off wherever machine time, throughput, and quality decide the margin. These are the manufacturing sectors where connected, data-driven production makes the clearest difference.

Industrial Machinery

Uptime You Can Predict.

Complex equipment runs best when downtime is predicted, not discovered. Sensors and machine-learning insights flag wear early, so maintenance happens on plan rather than mid-job.

Automotive Parts

Throughput, Measured Live.

High-volume parts production lives on consistent cycle times. Live OEE and variance tracking surface losses as they happen, so the line stays close to its true potential.

Food and Beverage

Consistent Output, Less Waste.

Tight margins reward steady, monitored production. Real-time visibility into material flow and performance helps cut waste and hold quality batch after batch.

Metal Fabrication

Every Machine Accounted For.

Mixed-job shops gain from seeing every machine's status at once. Connected data and live dashboards make scheduling and load balancing decisions based on reality, not guesswork.

Plastics and Rubber

Process Control, in Real Time.

Continuous and batch processes depend on tight control. Machine data and automated workflows reduce manual checks and keep output within spec across long runs.

Electronics

Precision, Tracked at Scale.

High-mix electronics demand precision and traceability. Connected manufacturing keeps performance data and quality signals flowing, so issues are caught early across every line.
