Apps and components
Modular MES apps for every step of the flow
Plan, release, run and follow up every production order. Start with the app your team needs most and add the rest when you are ready.
Four apps on one platform: 24Planning for planners, Order Pool for order release, Team Cockpit for the shop floor and the Management App for managers. All four work on the same live record of every order.

The four apps
Big-bang MES projects stall.
24Flow grows one app at a time.
Each app serves one role. Together they cover the flow from the first plan to the last operation.
24Planning
Plans change every day.
Your schedule should keep up.
The visual planning app for planners: production scheduling, shift planning and a Gantt chart for engineer-to-order projects.
For planners and project managers
Schedule at order level, or only for the bottleneck operation. 24Planning calculates capacity per team or machine in real time and shows order status from the shop floor as it changes.
Schedule operations backward from the delivery date and adjust by drag and drop, with live capacity per team or machine.
Plan the bottleneck operation by order priority or product family, and group orders to cut setup times.
Assign people to workstations, machines and shifts, handle absences and let team capacity follow.
Manage engineering, production, transport and installation phases, with dependencies and the impact on deadlines.
Order Pool
Too much WIP slows every order.
Release only what can start.
Where planners release orders to the shop floor, based on component availability and due dates.
For planners
See at once whether you are behind and which orders to release next. Split orders over several Order Pools when that fits your flow.
Check which components an order needs and whether they are available, and still release it when you decide to.
Control WIP centrally for high-mix low-volume production and release orders by team workload.
Team Cockpit
One screen per workstation.
Everything one click away.
The single screen for operators and team leaders: the right information in the right place, at the right time.
For operators and team leaders
Orders appear by priority and due date, with clear flags for rush and late orders. Team leaders see every cockpit of their team, assign orders at the last minute and manage the competences of their people.
Add 24Checklist for quality checks, 24Files for documents from SharePoint, Andon for machine stops, incident reporting and POLCA cards.
Management App
Stop walking the floor.
See every order from your desk.
Detailed data from the shop floor for live order status, traceability and continuous improvement.
For operations managers
Follow every production order down to each operation, time registration, component and checklist, and see where lead time goes.
MCT Maps: see where lead time goes
MCT Maps draws every order from first operation to delivery, straight from the time your operators register. Dark blocks are touch time, white space is waiting. Compare one order with a whole product family, and track progress with the QRM number: it starts at 100 and climbs as lead times get shorter.
Counted in calendar time, the way Quick Response Manufacturing (QRM) defines it.
Track order status in a kanban view, with every operation, registration and checklist behind it.
See touch time and waiting time per order or group of orders, and track lead time improvements with the QRM number.
Build your own reports and dashboards on 24Flow data, with charts, gauges and tables.
See the expected workload per team in one view and spot the next bottleneck early.
Extra capabilities
Your production is not standard.
Neither are these options.
Add these capabilities when your process needs them.
Customer portal
Let customers check the status of their orders themselves, so your support team gets fewer calls.
AI scheduling
Connect 24Flow to external AI scheduling solvers when the bottleneck needs real optimization. Mariasteen: 150 minutes saved per day.
Mold management
Track mold maintenance and availability in the Team Cockpit, so planners know which molds are ready. ORAC Decor schedules this way.
Floor map for AGVs
Send commands to automated guided vehicles (AGVs) from a floor map to move goods, as Altachem does.
Gamification
Give operators real-time feedback on their own performance, with challenges, levels and badges.
Integrations
ERP plans. 24Flow executes.
Both work from the same orders.
Every app works on the orders from your ERP. 24Flow connects to SAP, Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance and Supply Chain Management and Exact Online, and sends time and quantities back. Your ERP stays the system of record.
