Built to be highly pliable, FlexNet Version 9.3 is an execution software that can stand alone or be used with ERP, CRM, PLM, and other business systems. The software is a strategic operations execution platform that ties together the diverse activities of a manufacturer's operations, as well as a modular suite of applications that can be used to provide a coordinated manufacturing solution. FlexNet 9.3 is designed for adaptive manufacturing, which is driven by operations execution systems that provide the flexibility, visibility, and integration required to support constantly changing business requirements and ensure optimal efficiency, quality, and responsiveness. FlexNet software features Process Builder, an authoring tool that enables electronic process "flows" to be deployed within a facility and out to a manufacturer's supply chain. Leveraging service-oriented architecture, Version 9.3 includes more than 160 new, pre-built "flows" and a range of modules that automate primary functions. These include: FlexNet Production, an adaptive manufacturing execution system (MES); FlexNet Warehouse, an RFID-ready, specialized WMS; FlexNet Quality, an automated, flexible, and paperless QMS; FlexNet Reporting, a business intelligence application; and FlexNet Global Process Management, a composite solution. FlexNet Maintenance integrates asset management and maintenance execution (MMS) into production, logistics, and field services operations. The software, which consolidates applications into a common data source, is designed to provide a common interface to legacy and "best of breed" applications and 24/7 uptime, even when the ERP system or WAN goes down. FlexNet offers interlocking traceability across product and process lines as well as genealogical consistency across suppliers. FlexNet Version 9.3 is well suited for use in automotive, aerospace and defense, and medical device manufacturing operations.
