Production and material follow-up system PM2000 makes it possible for manufacturing industries to follow-up the manufacturing, material flow, warehouse levels and work in progress (WIP). By means of electronic ID-tags or barcode labels the system registers the location and quantity of all product units or batches in the production flow. These system functions make it possible to find out the production times, volume, status and physical location of all products. Every machine or group of machines and all warehouse locations have a workstation for the registration and presentation of information, e.g. the status of a production order, customer's order, production line etc.

PM2000's workstations are PCs with hand scanners and barcode label printers, or RFID-tag detectors if that technology is chosen. The software is designed for Windows and uses client/server technology. The display units' layout are adapted for industry environment and special consideration has been taken to make it work with touch display units, if that is wanted.

PM2000 is a complement to existing ERP-, MRP- or factory systems. The system reports data to these systems and make use of data from them. Materials-, order-, warehouse location tables and other dynamic system data therefore only need to be maintained in the superior system.
