One platform for your production
PIMPIMPIM means Product Information Management: one central home for all product data — prices, photos, descriptions, variants. Maintain an item once; shop, warehouse and purchasing use the same details., BOMs, WMS, production orders, feedback at the terminal, maintenance, sales and accounting, all connected.
Most mid-market manufacturers juggle five tools: a legacy ERPERPERP stands for Enterprise Resource Planning: software that connects every part of a business — purchasing, warehouse, sales, accounting. Everyone works from the same data instead of separate tools., an Excel for BOMs, a homegrown stock system, a maintenance plan in Outlook, and sales over email.
The problem
The order sits in the ERP, the bill of materials in a spreadsheet, and the operator at the machine works from a printout from yesterday. Nobody knows in real time what is actually running.
How aYOUne solves it
One flow from bill of materials through the production order to the terminal at the bench. Whatever is reported at the terminal shows up on the production order right away: progress, booked time and scrap with its reason.
PIM
Central product data: base products and variants, images, ETIM fields and a data-quality score per product. One source for sales and webshop.
Bills of materials (BOM)
BOMs with line items, quantities and optional components. With revision and release status.
Production orders
From sales order to production order, automatic or manual. Order-based reservation.
WMS
Warehouse, goods-in, picking, stocktake. With scanner app and multi-site.
Machines
Machines, work centres and machine loading from your production orders. Devices with a vendor interface, such as 3D printers, report their status via a Raspberry Pi.
Maintenance
Put a machine into maintenance with a scan, and the start time is recorded. Faults and requests land in the system as tickets.
What differs by size
Workshop (5-20 staff): You need PIM, sale, simple inventory, accounting. Machine integration only once your machines actually have a port.
SME (20-250 staff): PIM, BOM, WMSWMSWMS stands for Warehouse Management System: the software that runs your warehouse — goods-in, storage bins, picking, stock levels. It tells every worker where each item is., production planning, machine integration, HR, maintenance. Multi-site when the second hall opens.
Larger SME / group: Plus multi-brand, group reporting, separate company areas per subsidiary, your own AIAIAI (Artificial Intelligence) is software that handles tasks you'd normally need a person for — writing text, answering questions, spotting patterns. In aYOUne it works right on your company data. model, self-host if you want.
Raspberry Pi display
Machine load from your production orders and the status of connected printers on a screen on the wall.
Operator terminal
The operator scans the job instead of typing and books time against it. During a production step the clock runs automatically.
Inspection at the workstation
Inspection plans per part with characteristic limits, checked right at the workstation. Serial numbers per order.
