Manufacturing and Beyond – Mattress Manufacturing

Streamline your business with our robust manufacturing system designed from the ground up for the bedding industry. 

Manufacturing and Beyond is a complete manufacturing solution, designed by bedding manufacturers with today’s bedding  industry in mind. It starts with a configuration tool that allows the designer to build a recipe (model) and then explode the bill  of materials into separate inventory items for each bed size. As customers request these items, the orders are added to a  daily  schedule which drives the production process. Bar-coded media is produced for each serialized piece to help track it  through the operations on the manufacturing floor. Detailed information about the status of orders and individual items can be  viewed at any time during the production process. On the manufacturing floor, a .NET-powered browser-based solution  provides clear instructions to employees as they scan each piece through the production operations. This full-screen graphical  interface also enforces FR lot number collection and includes pictures, multi-lingual prompts, and a running total of the day’s  pay for piecework employees. Completed pieces are bagged and scanned onto trucks using this same web interface, and  employees can be paid piecework rates for these operations as well. Once a truck is loaded, the process comes full-circle  back to the billing department as orders are finalized and paperwork generated for the entire load in one combined process.
