New IP-Realtime Solution Boosts Manufacturing Productivity & Efficiency

Production systems developer IPE is launching an all-new plant floor visibility and control solution
for sewn products and other discrete manufacturers. IP-Realtime leverages affordable
Android-compatible tablets to wirelessly track, manage and display all production activities in
real-time and drive measurable business improvements.

Greenville, SC, September 18, 2020 --(PR.com)-- IPE, experts in production management, order
tracking, time/attendance/payroll, and quality control for sewn products and other textile-related product
manufacturers, announces general availability of its all-new IP-Realtime™ wireless shop floor control
solution. The new product release is the culmination of years of research, development, and successful
end-user testing at IPE client sites. Early adopters of the innovative factory floor solution report
measurable improvements in productivity, efficiency, and workflow visibility and control.

Among the most important benefits of the IP-Realtime solution are:

- Always up-to-date visibility into production performance and work order status
- Better informed, faster management and workforce decision-making
- More comprehensive information readily accessible at the tap of a screen
- Greater affordability vs. traditional shop floor control solutions
- Streamlined integration with ERP and other business systems

“We worked with existing clients to develop a next-generation solution that delivers a new level of
accessibility, flexibility, and affordability to the plant floor,” explained IPE Managing Partner and
35-year manufacturing technology veteran Brad Mikes. “IP-Realtime addresses the needs that today’s
manufacturers have for operational transparency, workflow visibility, and always up-to-date
information.”

The new IP Realtime solution provides immediate management information and worker feedback as
production activities occur. This real-time visibility greatly enhances a manufacturer’s ability to maintain
proper production line balance, deal with potential bottlenecks before they escalate, identify and resolve
quality issues, and provide production workers with pacing and performance feedback.

To capture and display production activity in real-time, IP-Realtime deploys affordable Android™-based
tablets across the operation that wirelessly connect with a trusted Microsoft® SQL Server® platform to
process and report all production events in real-time. Production data is synchronized when Wi-Fi
connections are available. A production-focused user interface features configurable management and
production worker dashboards with extensive drill-down capabilities for tracking work-in-process,
measuring individual and team productivity and efficiency, worker pacing and feedback and more.

IP-Realtime is also natively integrated with IP-Batch™, a periodic data collection and processing
solution, providing companies the option to deploy the best-fit system for each part of their operation.
