SCHEDULING

With flexible unit of measure configuration, you never have to wonder if operator instructions are clear to them. Ensure quality, prevent errors, and improve communication with iRely.
EXECUTION
Well-meaning, but misguided efforts on the plant floor – such as non-scheduled creation of excess WIP -- can disrupt workflows, consume needed raw material inventory, and cause expensive errors. With iRely, you can ensure that operators have clear, consistent directions. Operators receive executable instructions to deliver the schedule:
- What to make
- How to make it

Quality Management
CONFIGURABLE REQUIREMENTS
iRely allows you automate your quality control initiatives. Establish quality parameters for raw material and finished goods germane to your business. Maintain testing rules and acceptable ranges for each test. Adapt your quality initiatives to suit your needs for regulatory compliance and avoid manually tracking quality data.
BLEND MANAGEMENT
Execute established blends or permit authorized user to vary blends according to raw material quality characteristics with iRely. Centralize blend control across multiple plants or release control to the individual plant level. Manage blending strategies based on raw material quality, cost and expiration.
IN-PROCESS CONTROLS
Don’t wait until the end of production to uncover substandard batches. iRely gives you the flexibility and control to insert quality checks anywhere in the production process – whether upon arrival, WIP, and/or finished goods. Additionally, iRely allows you to prevent the use of materials until an authorized user approves the quality. Rather than scratching your head at the end of the month and wondering why your costs were so high, iRely captures yield at the run level helping you immediately identify and correct process issues that impact throughput and cost.
LOT TRACEABILITY
In the event of a recall or recall test, iRely allows you to quickly and easily track down substandard or contaminated batches. Avoid poring through heaps of paper. Quickly zero into all components of a finished good product run. Need to peer into all the finished goods produced from a particular lot? No problem. iRely has you covered.
Inventory
iRely Process Manufacturing allows you to optimize inventory levels. Be certain you have the correct quantities on hand to meet customer requests, without tying up capital and space in excessive inventory. Inventory data can be managed by quality status and expiration allowing for optimal use of available inventory.
RAW MATERIALS
When iRely receives raw material inventory, it captures critical traceability and regulatory information in addition to cost and quantities. You can be certain you are in compliance and are positioned to quickly respond in the event of recall or recall tests.
Know what you have on hand and where it is. Track raw materials and warehouse location using bar codes, resulting in less time spent locating inventory in the warehouse and greater inventory accuracy. Moreover, you can access inventory quality data, status, expiration date and reservations all in a central easy-to-use view of your inventory.
FINISHED GOODS
iRely automatically updates finished goods upon quality release, providing immediate access to sellable inventory. Track location of finished goods with bar codes, saving time locating goods, improving shipping accuracy, and reducing shrink. With iRely, you have complete visibility to the status of finished goods including quality holds and released product.
WORK IN PROCESS
Bring transparency to your WIP inventory. Do you have multiple batches in process at any time? Do you have chronologically long processes (such as fermentation or other age-dependent processes)? If so, then iRely is for you. iRely makes it easy to capture/view quality information by batch improving the consistency of quality. For those who have the ability to apply retrospective corrective action, iRely’s WIP visibility becomes even more valuable.
