Established in 2010, IPE provides discrete manufacturers with unparalleled process visibility and control. Our team, with over a century of combined experience, has a proven track record in developing and implementing shop floor control and production management solutions. What sets us apart is our ability to adapt our industry and flexible software development experience to various industry verticals.
Our primary expertise is in production management software, production data collection, automated data processing, and data analytics. This experience has enabled us to help a wide range of manufacturers digitally transform their operations and transition from relying on instincts to making data-driven decisions.
Our budget-friendly IP-Batch solution uses barcoded work tickets to manage daily production data collection, order tracking, performance reporting, and incentive payroll calculation (where used). Leveraging the same core information, our IP-Realtime solution leverages tablet computers and Wi-Fi networking to capture and report all production data and KPIs as they occur throughout the day, empowering production workers, supervisors, managers and executives with an always up-to-date view of processes, productivity/efficiency, quality performance, and all other activities.
Manufacturers can choose daily, real-time, or a combination of the two solutions to best fit their unique needs and budget. IPE systems are simple to integrate with ERP, engineering, analytics, payroll, and other business systems to optimize factory-wide operations.
