Personalization

Preactor has been developed knowing that for our users, their application is unique. You want your production scheduling tool to be set up in the way you want, to show data in a variety of ways, to carry our specific tasks that may not be straight out of the box. So the ease by which Preactor can be customized will be important to you. This is a key strength of Preactor. Its openness is unparalleled in the production scheduling market. And customization is carried out without affecting the core code of the product so modifications are not affected by new versions of the product. 

Hardware Requirements and the Web

Preactor production scheduling software runs on a PC under Windows 2000, XP and Vista. Preactor can be made web enabled using Citrix Metaframe technology. Thus users of Preactor Master Scheduling Systems and Viewers can access and use the software remotely. In addition Preactor has a web publishing module whereby Gantt charts and reports can be produced in HTML format and placed on a web page for others to view the information.

Capacitated ERP

Preactor production scheduling software can be run either stand-alone or to enable other complementary software that does not have full finite capacity scheduling or sequencing capabilities. For example most ERP systems use infinite capacity to generate plans, but, where there is a finite capacity capability, it does not take into account the full intricacies of your process such as operator and tooling constraints or sequence dependent changeover times. Linked with Preactor, your current ERP system can be become capacitated ERP.

Integration

Our APS solutions integrate with all major ERP and financial application packages, are readily configurable and are used across almost every manufacturing sector.
