Advantive offers a complete integrated suite of software applications to meet the specific order management and manufacturing requirements of today’s corrugated, folding carton, plastics, and packaging manufacturers.
To manage orders more efficiently and compete in a highly competitive market, modern packaging manufacturers need powerful tools and functionality to streamline the production process, capture and analyze real-time data, and drive lean manufacturing and OEE improvements. With better visibility, you can easily identify and improve first pass yield (FPY), reduce waste and downtime, improve capacity and quality, and eliminate manual data entry.
From inventory and logistics management to reporting and business intelligence, our specialized ERP and MES solutions help packagers of all types and complexities improve production efficiency and maximize cost savings. In addition to key functions like order management, costing and pricing, inventory management, and supply chain optimization, core features include:
Automate your costing and pricing process based on customizable rules established by your own company. Easily compare prices of similar items, and modify pricing metrics to see the impact on margin. Price changes are implemented quickly and effortlessly, with access to timely profitability analytics with post-production costing.
Schedule your plant to run on a continual basis using Just-in-Time (JIT) and Theory of Constraints (TOC) lean production philosophies. Our packaging software helps you easily evaluate machine constraints, resource and tooling availability, order backlog and shipping requirements, and optimize efficiency, throughput and on-time delivery. It also allows you to quickly identify bottlenecks in your production process, balance load across similar machines, and make adjustments to the schedule as needed.
Drive your business forward and make informed decisions with access to accurate data across your entire operations. Our packaging solutions provide the functionality you need to eliminate time-consuming, error-prone manual data consolidation and view detailed financial information and precise production data anywhere. Supervisors and managers can monitor machine progress, performance, waste, and downtime remotely from any office location, or anywhere worldwide with secure internet access.
Incorporate quality management directly within your production process. Define quality assurance test requirements and customize tests quickly and easily. Automatically prompt production floor operators to perform tests at the required time and interval, record test results in real-time at workstations on the floor, and eliminate the need for handwritten notes and delayed data entry. Collect test data electronically from testing devices, and alert management or designated staff via text message or email of persistent quality problems.
