The acquisition allows for the effective integration of a comprehensive scheduling product into our solutions portfolio, said Dave Chambliss, COO of Visiprise.

The system will allow manufacturers to plan detailed schedules at the shop floor level, utilizing real-time information gathered from manufacturing execution.

Visiprise says that its platform-independent, Java J2EE system maximizes execution efficiency via dynamic monitoring of production processes, and improves supply chain accuracy through managing the master schedule at the execution level. Capacity is also increased through better plant and facility utilization.
