Industries
Supplying into automotive means somebody else sets the rhythm. Schedules arrive from the customer, quantities move, and the paperwork asked of a small supplier is out of proportion to its size. The parts themselves are rarely the hard bit. Proving what you made, when, from which material, and showing that the record has not been quietly edited since, is the hard bit. Alibera plans the work from the bill of material and logs every change with the user name and timestamp, so the audit answer is a query rather than a week of reconstruction.
01In this category
Every process below runs on the same core system. The differences show up in configuration, in which modules you switch on, and in what gets integrated.
02What it has to do
The capabilities below are the ones that come up first in discovery calls with companies in this category.
01
Multi level bills of material with make to order and make to stock planning, so a confirmed order drives the material requirement and the work orders rather than a separate spreadsheet that somebody has to remember to update.
02
Every login, change and deletion is logged with the user name, a timestamp and a description of the action. It is a core feature rather than a paid extra, so when a customer asks who changed a quantity or a specification, there is an answer.
03
Alibera reads data from CNC machines, Omron PLCs, Universal Robots and other IoT devices, and can send control commands back. That turns machine time into something the schedule and the costing can actually use, instead of a number somebody types in at the end of the shift.
03Where to go next
Three pages cover most of what gets asked after this one.
A discovery call is a conversation about your process, not a scripted product walkthrough. If Alibera is a poor fit for what you make, we will say so on that call.
