Let's Get Technical!

Watch this video to discover how you can leverage Intraratio's RunCard MES to streamline work order management, enhance operator efficiency, and improve decision-making.

In today's rapidly evolving manufacturing landscape, the ability to adapt to changing demands and optimize production processes is critical.  Intraratio's RunCard MES, a cutting-edge solution, is designed to empower manufacturers to achieve just that. By streamlining work order management and enhancing production planning, RunCard helps businesses stay ahead of the curve.

Streamlining Work Orders with RunCard 

RunCard transforms work order management into a seamless, intuitive process. Users can group work orders by project, type, or required completion dates, ensuring a clear view of priorities. Once released, work orders can be effortlessly prioritized using drag-and-drop functionality. This flexibility empowers teams to adapt swiftly to changing demands, ensuring the most critical orders are addressed first.

RunCard offers graphical representations of work order progress against due dates to enhance decision-making. These visualizations enable teams to identify potential bottlenecks, easily reprioritize tasks, and ensure timely completion of critical projects.

Prioritization That Drives Efficiency 

Once priorities are set, RunCard ensures operators stay focused on what matters most. Work orders appear in the operator terminal in priority order, guiding teams to tackle high-priority tasks first. This structured approach helps prevent delivery delays, thus boosting efficiency, and keeps production on track.

Enhanced Operator Management

RunCard elevates work order management by optimizing operator assignments for maximum efficiency. Production managers can precisely control access to specific work operations, ensuring that tasks are assigned to the right teams or groups, which have the relevant training and skills to perform.

This targeted approach keeps the right workers focused on the right work operations and most relevant tasks, minimizing confusion and eliminating wasted time spent searching for assignments.

Additionally, RunCard enhances quality assurance by allowing production managers to assign tasks only to operators certified for specific operations. This ensures critical tasks are handled by qualified personnel, maintaining high standards and preventing costly errors.

Detailed Tracking and Insights

For those who need a deeper dive into production progress, RunCard’s running status report provides a real-time  factory view of current production status. This report highlights the current loading status at each operation and offers flexible grouping by product or work order. With this insight, managers can track performance in real time and make informed decisions to optimize workflow.

Why Choose RunCard?

RunCard is more than a tool—it’s a solution designed to empower manufacturers to meet the challenges of modern production. By simplifying planning, streamlining work order management, and enhancing operator efficiency, RunCard enables manufacturers to maintain agility, improve productivity, and deliver on time, every time.
