cmNavigo 4.0 MES software has embedded finite  scheduling. Scheduling models plant floor resources and defines the role of each in fulfilling orders in a near-term time frame. Schedules can be weighted around multiple production criteria and key performance indicators, such as minimizing delivery delays, maximizing machine loads, and reducing cycle times. Is built on Microsoft application development layers; integrates with more than 30 extensible MES applications. These provide visibility and traceability, operational efficiency, quality management, factory integration, operations intelligence, and factory management.  Can configure and extend models and define workflows without programming. Avoids duplication of master data, allows real-time updates across different areas of the plant floor, and eliminates the need to maintain separate interfaces. Features include lot-based sampling; document management; warehouse management; durables tracking, and a shift logbook.
