Broner Metals Solutions

Broner Production Management provides real-time data and control that enables manufacturing agility and fast response to production changes. It embraces all stages of production, starting from downloading of work details to the production equipment through to production monitoring and tracking of progress throughout the complete production process.

Production Management is closely integrated directly with ERP, Planning & Scheduling and Level 2 process systems and provides feedback of actual production data into the complete supply chain solution, for effective management decision support.

Production data is collected and stored in a high performance database that is designed specifically for managing the rapid acquisition of very high data volumes.

Tracks genealogy through coil weld/splits
Tracks defects

Production Tracking

Production Dispatching
