How modern MRP (Material Requirements Planning) can enable LEAN philosophy within purchasing and production, all via a single screen.
The top three questions manufacturers ask themselves on a daily basis:
- What do we need to buy?
- How much do we need to buy?
- When do we need it by?
Whilst most top-level ERP systems incorporate the functionality to enable lean operating, Exel’s own EFACS E/8 ERP system included, it has been Exel’s experience that very few manufacturing companies use it to its fullest, some even at all.
It is due to this realisation that Exel developed the EFACS MRP Workbench. This new capability is a catch-all for all of the required functionality; a single, centralised workspace where you can view and interact with all the required MRP data.
In this presentation, we will show what efficiencies can be achieved through reducing time and complexity by allowing an operator access to all the tools and information needed, in a single module.

How to capture real time data from the factory floor that will drive double digit gains in efficiency and productivity
In our experience, the disconnect from the shopfloor to the production office means that vital data you need to make decisions is often hard to find, difficult to decipher, and sometimes missing altogether. As a result, many companies are working blind and face daily problems ranging from annoyances to serious business damage. These include missed deliveries, running out of materials, carrying too much stock, excessive overtime to meet deadlines and poor cashflow. The lack of clear, relevant data means you do not know which machines, employees or customers make or lose money for you. This could all be mitigated with the infrastructure and tools to access the data you need, when you need it.
Join us and see how we can:
- Help you understand what data you really need
- Provide the tools to easily capture and process shopfloor production data in real time
- Give you dashboards with all your KPIs on one screen and accessibility from wherever on a PC, tablet or phone
- Show how real time data gives you total visibility of your operations and profitability
Our customers gain an average productivity uplift of 23% and we want to help you do the same.

Exploring the Art of the Impossible
Senior Industry Manager, Design & Manufacturing
I believe everything begins with great design. When it’s done right, it leads to exciting new products and businesses that create value for both the companies that make them and the people they employ.
We need more great design in the world, and can only achieve it by thinking beyond productivity, whilst embracing design and manufacturing as a single discipline. At Autodesk, I lead a collaborative initiative focused on enabling the design and manufacturing industry to succeed in a world that’s becoming increasingly connected, where we have to do more with less.
There’s a lot of hype, jargon and boundaries that need to be challenged along the way, so it’s important to have a clear vision of the future, a clear path to it and the courage to work together and make it easy for the industry to engage.
My favourite quote by no one famous “None of us is as smart as all of us”

And how do you set your business apart from your competitors? Within this roundtable discussion, we’ll be discussing:
- Positioning yourself as an employer of choice
- Diversity & Inclusion
- Developing a positive candidate experience & efficient recruitment strategy

Mobile Robotics, the evolution of factory intralogistics for the 4IR
| The simple task of moving components, WIP or consumables within a factory environment can often be an area which breeds inefficiencies and operational stress. As more manufacturers are under pressure to improve operational effectiveness and deliver higher product mix solutions, this challenge will continue to escalate. Mobile robots are a newer breed of robot, which are set to revolutionise factory operations, by providing a flexible and secure platform for factory intralogistics tasks. Mobile robots eliminate the complexity of workflow and line replenishment operations, but work collaboratively with human operators and do not require any factory infrastructure modifications. |

DISCUSSION ROOM: ERP
Implementing and ERP strategy typically requires changes in existing business processes. Poor understanding of needed process changes prior to starting implementation is the main reason for project failure. The difficulties could be related to the system, business process, infrastructure, training, or lack of motivation. It is therefore crucial that organizations thoroughly analyze business processes before they implement ERP software

Mobile Robotics, the evolution of factory intralogistics for the 4IR
| The simple task of moving components, WIP or consumables within a factory environment can often be an area which breeds inefficiencies and operational stress. As more manufacturers are under pressure to improve operational effectiveness and deliver higher product mix solutions, this challenge will continue to escalate. Mobile robots are a newer breed of robot, which are set to revolutionise factory operations, by providing a flexible and secure platform for factory intralogistics tasks. Mobile robots eliminate the complexity of workflow and line replenishment operations, but work collaboratively with human operators and do not require any factory infrastructure modifications. |

DISCUSSION ROOM: Systems Integration
More manufacturers are becoming smart factories by leveraging the latest innovations to optimize production. All of these innovations require the ability to collect, share, and process reams of data. However, if all the separate systems used to manage each phase of manufacturing are siloed, management cannot gather the insights they need. Allowing the free flow of information through each stage of the manufacturing cycle is necessary to pave the way to the factory of the future.
