Your production on the next level
Factum is a MES - Manufacturing Execution System that gives a boost to your production and takes you to Lean Production. Maximizes efficiency, minimizes waste, controls timing leads to increased quality.
Whether production is at the heart of your business
Does your company work third party to produce standard or special items? Does your company design and then manufacture its own components? Does your company have many machining centers to manage? Does your company do all the assembly and have everything done ? Does your company do all these things?
To answer your questions we have created the ideal solution, SolidRules Factum is aimed at companies like yours that want to lead and monitor production to get the most out of their business.
Track performance
All the information needed to assess the trend of production in one place, to always know where to intervene.
With the production dashboard you can view and monitor the most relevant KPI for you, optimize production quality and improve efficiency. Among the various indicators you will also have the infamous OEE orOverall Equipment Effectiveness that measures productivity, availability and quality.
Indicators and various Gantt will allow you to understand if you can meet the delivery times, you can understand how to reduce the defect, how to reorganize the shifts according to the results and much more.
Manage orders without worries
Reorganize customer orders by determining delivery dates and warehouse stocks. As priorities change, the system simulates new dates based on bills of materials, processing cycles and production orders already in progress. You can also rearrange the priorities of production orders that have already started and see immediately those that will lag behind and those that are ahead of schedule with the customer.
Track production to leave nothing to chance
Each machining centre and operator via pc, tablet or smartphone can manage the start and end of the work phases, enter the product quantities, the waste and make a constant control in Lean optics. Tracking can also be done via barcode or QR Code readers.
The operator will know immediately what he has to do now and where the material produced will have to go. It will know if the job that it is carrying out is online with the time cycle and if it is instead the case to open a report to warn the various agencies that the information of cycle is not reachable and for what reasons.
Not a negligible thing, you cansay goodbye to the paper as it is directly on SolidRules Factum, while you see what needs to be done, you can see the drawing 2D in PDF*, the 3D vector, the tooling instructions, etc.
Express your full potential with Quantum IoT
The system integrates with Industry 4.0 allowing machines to independently manage production progress. With integration with SolidRules Quantum IoT the production manager always knows the production situation and can reorganize it, provide suggestions or report anomalies.
The start and stop of the machining steps can then come directly from the machines.
The SolidRules Factum and Quantum pairing is strategic for meeting the constraints to access the tax credit and for the various measures within Factory 4.0.
Keep an eye on costs and times
On every production order and customer order you can know how much it cost and if you have met the time provided. You can know the costs in terms of design hours, production hours, working hours, material costs and external costs.
Thanks to SolidRules Factum you can also know the value of your stock depending on the various modes (LIFO, *FIFO, etc).
Works great with your PLM
The strong link also with the PDM/PLM world embodied to perfection by SolidRules InCentro allows, for a company that has its own Technical Office, to immediately move from design to production by pouring with a click of the name, bills, cycles, 2D and 3D drawings, setup instructions and everything you need for production.
And this for a company that does special becomes an absolutely strategic fact.
Also if you encounter a problem there is the possibility to open a ticket right on the object to which it refers and all departments are connected by a common thread.
Who is made for
SolidRules Factum is aimed at all those who want to guide and monitor all their production resources so that all processes are executed in the best possible way and in the shortest possible time.
It’s a suitable solution for both those who work for third parties, and for companies that design components and maybe manage the assembly only internally.
And if you do so much special ... then you can’t help but fall in love with him.
Integrations
SolidRules Factum can be totally self-consistent because it manages the production warehouse (WIP) and the various storage warehouses (including automatic ones), it manages the various documents of loading and unloading goods (ddt).
You can start orders to supplier for the work account or for the necessary raw materials.
But SolidRules can live with your ERP system with which it exchanges the necessary information without upsetting your company.

-
2. What benefits does Factum provide in production management?
Factum enables real-time visibility of what is happening in production, eliminating delays in data collection and reducing manual activities through integration with machines, equipment, sensors, and IoT devices on the factory floor. Managers and operators can monitor progress, processing times, downtimes, and issues through intuitive, up-to-date dashboards. This allows for rapid problem resolution, better resource utilization, and increased overall productivity.
-
3. Why is the Production Scheduler one of the most important tools in Factum?
The Production Scheduler allows companies to plan and reschedule manufacturing activities based on real data coming directly from the shop floor. Production managers can monitor progress, delays, resource utilization, and job priorities, making quick adjustments when necessary. Thanks to real-time machine integration and continuously updated data, planning becomes more accurate, improving on-time delivery performance and optimizing resource usage.
-
4. Which KPIs can be analyzed with SolidRules Factum?
Factum enables the monitoring of key KPIs such as cycle times, machine efficiency, job order progress, downtime, and resource productivity. The information is presented through dashboards and reports that are easy to consult, allowing managers to quickly identify bottlenecks and improvement opportunities. Continuous data analysis helps companies make decisions based on real information rather than estimates.
-
5. Why choose SolidRules Factum as a company MES? What makes it different from other MES systems?
