FORT WORTH, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ECI Software Solutions, a global provider of cloud-based business management software and services, today announces the launch of two new add-on solutions for its Manufacturing ERP products—ECI Manufacturing Execution System (MES) and ECI Advanced Planning & Scheduling (APS), both powered by LYNQ. These solutions will soon be available for Deacom, M1, JobBOSS², and Macola ERP platforms.
The addition of ECI MES and APS provides improved automation and advanced features, including visual planning, real-time data collection, and flexible scheduling. This enables businesses to optimize factory floor efficiency and drive profitability, providing a competitive edge in an economic environment when margins are compressed.
"In today’s rapidly evolving manufacturing landscape, embracing technical innovation is not just an option – it’s a necessity,” said Matt Heerey, President of Manufacturing, ECI Software Solutions. “Machine Intelligence, Machine Connectivity, and MES have become pillars that are propelling our industry forward. By harnessing these technologies with a top-tier product, manufacturers will not only benefit from more automation, stronger planning and scheduling capabilities, but also leverage seamless connectivity across more than 140 machine types.”
With real-time data collection and tracking, ECI MES enables manufacturers to monitor and analyze their equipment performance and visualize losses in real-time. This capability ensures continuous production by automating resource allocation and minimizing downtime through instant alerts and issue tracking. The system also provides crucial insights by collecting part count data directly from machines, allowing businesses to leverage impactful Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) metrics.
ECI APS complements ECI MES functionality by offering short and long-term scheduling flexibility. Its features include multiple resource scheduling, live progress reporting from equipment, and custom constraints, allowing manufacturers to plan weeks in advance while adapting to real-time production floor changes.
The system's centralized resource scheduling and visual planning tools provide full operational visibility, helping businesses identify bottlenecks and make strategic decisions that improve efficiency. Together, ECI MES and ECI APS empower manufacturers to remain responsive and competitive in an ever-changing market.
