Signs you need Opcenter X
For small to medium-sized businesses (SMBs) in manufacturing, recognizing the need for a system like Opcenter X can be crucial for timely and strategic growth. Here are the top signs that indicate an SMB manufacturer might need to implement Opcenter X
Inefficient Workflow Management
If current processes involve multiple disjointed systems or excessive manual intervention, leading to inefficiencies and increased error rates, it’s a sign that a more integrated solution like Opcenter X could streamline operations.
Difficulty Scaling Operations
Struggling to manage increased production demands or expand operational capacity without significant disruptions indicates a need for the scalable solutions provided by Opcenter X.
High Operational Costs
Experiencing escalating costs due to inefficiencies, maintenance of legacy systems, or redundant processes suggests that Opcenter X could help optimize operations and reduce expenses through its efficient, cloud-based platform.
Data Silos and Inconsistent Information
If an SMB faces challenges with data being scattered across various systems without a unified view, Opcenter X’s integrated data management can provide a single source of truth, enhancing decision-making and operational transparency.
Challenges with Compliance and Quality Control

Each bundle is designed to provide specific functionalities that cater to varying operational complexities and budget considerations.
Opcenter X Essentials
The Opcenter X Essentials bundle is designed for businesses seeking to streamline their manufacturing operations with core functionalities. This package includes essential modules that help businesses manage their orders, track and trace materials, and handle non-conformance issues effectively.
Order Management: This feature increases operational efficiency, reduces lead times, and improves overall customer satisfaction by managing and tracking manufacturing orders from creation to completion efficiently.
Track and Trace: Enhances visibility across the manufacturing process, improving quality control and facilitating quick resolution of production issues. It helps in monitoring and recording the movement, location, and status of raw materials, components, and finished products throughout the entire manufacturing process.
Non-conformance Management: Maintains product quality, meets regulatory requirements, and ensures customer satisfaction by identifying deviations, investigating root causes, and implementing corrective and preventive actions to prevent recurrence.
This bundle is ideal for businesses that need fundamental manufacturing operations management capabilities without a significant upfront investment.
Opcenter X Standard
The Opcenter X Standard bundle is a more comprehensive package that builds upon the Essentials by adding advanced functionalities for businesses ready to take their operations management to the next level. This bundle includes everything in the Essentials package plus additional features such as genealogy, statistical process control, scheduling, and process modeling.
Genealogy: Provides a complete view of the activities performed to produce final material. It supports advanced analysis and recall campaigns by offering backward and forward genealogy with configurable nesting level and context information for work orders, users, and equipment.
Statistical Process Control: Helps monitor and control the quality of a production process through statistical methods. Businesses can define characteristics to be analyzed, set up inspection and control plans, and execute them to ensure that the process operates efficiently, producing more specification-conforming products with less waste.
Scheduling: Optimizes the use of available resources, meets customer demand, minimizes production costs, and adheres to delivery deadlines with production scheduling capabilities.
Process Modeling: Analyzes, optimizes, and simulates the flow of activities, resources, and information within the production environment to understand and improve manufacturing processes.
The Opcenter X Standard bundle is suited for businesses that require a deeper integration of their operations management systems with advanced capabilities to further enhance efficiency, quality, and productivity across their manufacturing processes.
