Hermetry Forge · Planned after the IoT launch
Manufacturing on the platform that already sees your machines
Forge is our plan for MES, MRP and PLM on Hermetry: what to make, how the floor actually runs and what the product is, connected to the machine data Hermetry already collects. It is not available yet.
The plan
Three systems that talk to each other
These are plans, not features you can use today. Scope and order may change.
MRP: what to make, and when
Plan material needs from demand, stock, open orders, lead times and capacity, and turn the result into work orders and purchase orders.
MES: how the floor runs
Record operations started and finished, who did them on which machine, what was consumed, scrapped and produced, and how the machines performed.
PLM: what the product is
Part numbers and revisions, the engineering bill of materials, drawings, and engineering changes with their effective dates.
Quality for every step
Inspections, non-conformance and corrective action, shared by purchasing, production and returns.
Lot and serial genealogy
Trace which lots went into which serial number, forwards and backwards.
Shop floor terminal
A panel at the machine for the operator: the current operation, counts, stop reasons and work instructions.
Why on Hermetry
Machine data without a second integration
Hermetry already receives readings from machines and sensors. Forge is planned to use the same readings for machine states, counts and stops, instead of a separate data collection project.
- Work centres fed by live machine readings
- Stops and performance history from the same data
- One sign-in and one tenant for IoT and manufacturing
Built in small parts
Take the parts you need
Planning, execution, product data and quality are designed as separate modules on one data model, so a plant can start with one part and add the others later.
- Planning, execution and product data as separate parts
- Quality as a shared part, not tied to one of them
- The same access rules and audit trail as the rest of Hermetry
FAQ
Common questions
When will Forge be available?
After the launch of Hermetry's IoT products. We have not set a date. Talk to us if you want to be part of the first projects.
Is anything there today?
The platform has a base for bills of materials and work orders, and the SCADA library has factory equipment. The full MES, MRP and PLM scope described here is still a plan.
Do I need Hermetry's IoT products to use Forge?
The plan keeps manufacturing and IoT as separate parts that connect when both are in use. Using them together is where Forge adds the most.
How will Forge be priced?
On its own. Prices are not set yet. Contact sales to talk about your plant.
