Apriso will demonstrate FlexNet 9.3®, the mill products industry’s first and most complete software platform for manufacturing operations.  The conference marks the software product’s official debut.

FlexNet helps pulp & paper, metals and other mill operators seize control of the rising costs of energy, raw materials, machine maintenance, labor, quality and other factors eating into their margins and productivity.  Apriso does this by tightly integrating a mill’s mission-critical areas to a single platform based on a unified data model.  Such a system puts unprecedented visibility and control into the hands of operations personnel, empowering them to make better-informed decisions and take fast corrective action when needed.

Unlike the inflexible, monolithic systems of other vendors, FlexNet can be reconfigured by the user to meet shifting customer specifications in a matter of hours, without enlisting outside IT support or bringing the system down.

Working with industry-leading technology partners, Apriso’s solution supports specific requirements such as capacity planning, trim optimization, production control, quality data management, converting, warehousing and shipping.  FlexNet is well suited to pulp & paper, primary metals and conversion operations, and integrates tightly with SAP and other business systems for a seamless solution.

FlexNet modules can be deployed individually or as part of a suite, tying together production (MES), warehouse (WMS), quality (QMS), maintenance, time & labor and supplier visibility into a single software platform.
