How MepApps Powered by SYSPRO & ISVs Help Build a Greener Factory
Digital Transformation & Paperless Workflows
The Old Way: Manufacturers rely on printed purchase orders, invoices, job reports, and handwritten tracking logs, leading to excessive paper waste and inefficiency.
The New Way: Mep File Manager allows manufacturers to digitally store, manage, and retrieve documents while integrating with SYSPRO’s Document Management tools to automate workflows and eliminate physical paperwork.
Key Benefits:
✅ Reduces paper waste by up to 80%, cutting costs on printing and storage.
✅ Automates compliance reporting for sustainability audits and ISO 14001.
✅ Improves operational efficiency by streamlining document retrieval and approvals.
Energy & Machine Optimization with IoT & Predictive Analytics
The Old Way: Machines run inefficiently due to lack of real-time monitoring, leading to excessive energy consumption and unplanned downtime.
The New Way: MepApps Function Extensions, combined with SYSPRO’s Shop Floor Data Collection and ISV-driven IoT solutions, deliver real-time machine performance insights and automate predictive maintenance scheduling to optimize energy efficiency.
Key Benefits:
✅ Reduces unplanned downtime by 30-50% with predictive maintenance.
✅ Lowers energy consumption by optimizing machine run cycles.
✅Provides real-time monitoring to identify efficiency gaps and sustainability improvements.
Smart Inventory & Sustainable Supply Chain Management
The Old Way: Over-ordering raw materials leads to excess inventory, storage costs, and material waste, while under-ordering disrupts production.
The New Way: MepScans and SYSPRO WMS, integrated with AI-driven demand forecasting, optimize inventory control, supplier tracking, and raw material utilization, reducing unnecessary resource consumption.
Key Benefits:
✅ Minimizes material waste by aligning procurement with production demand.
✅ Optimizes warehouse space, reducing energy costs for storage.
