Epicor Connected Process Control helps manufacturers reduce errors, improve traceability, and increase operational visibility across the shop floor.
Our trusted clients
Epicor Connected Process Control is a manufacturing platform for configuring digital work instructions, enforcing process control, and error-proofing production operations. Connect IoT devices and capture 100% cycle time, process data and task-level images to support Andon reporting, quality review, and real-time operational visibility.
Whether operating in a model-based or component-based environment with thousands of parts and product variations, Epicor Connected Process Control adapts to your manufacturing complexity. Work instructions can be linked directly to Bills of Materials, ensuring operators see only the correct process for what is being built. As configurations change, instructions adapt automatically to maintain accuracy, prevent errors, and enforce standardized production at every station.
Easily connect to upper level systems (ERP).
Automatically display the correct build option, associated work instruction, and device control based on BOM or Model at the station level.
Collect and analyze unlimited process data for continuous improvement.

The benefits of digital work instructions and standard operating procedures over paper-based systems is vast.
Easily create work instructions with the built-in work instruction editor (WIE) tool. Use images, written instructions, video or connect to current PDF files. Quickly set-up task sequences and lines with drag-n-drop functionality - no programming needed.
Connect to upper level systems such as ERP, MES, BOMs & schedulers or eDHR. Easily integrate and collect process data from tooling and devices such as; barcode scanners, torque tools, gauges, cobots, vision systems & inspection cameras, pick lights, sensors, augmented reality systems, and more.
Easily configure pre-requisite determination and enforcement. Capture part genealogy, batch and lot tracking, component and sub-component marriages, as well as rejected parts.
Off-line mode for separate training and production statuses. When new staff is able to walk through each production task step-by-step with written instructions and/or visuals, training is accelerated. The system also has user configurable areas for station set-up, safety information, MSDS, etc, which impacts training.
With our web-based software application, create work instructions or view reports anywhere, anytime via browser on any web-capable device - Surface Tablet, Chromebook, iPad, etc. No client side software load required. Monitor real-time production as needed.
Work instructions and tasks are displayed in real-time. Get 100% time capture for each process task start & stop. Cycle time indicator shows targeted time for each station as well as actual time per station. Station data gives management the tools they need to make data-driven operational decisions.
Built-in and customizable process data collection fields. Get a digital history of your entire production process. Track items such as – cycle times, quality checklists, inspections/verifications, who completed them, tooling measurements, camera images, user specific notes. No limits on what you can collect and view.
Every company likes to track different variables and statistics that pertain to their specific production needs. Our Business Intelligence reporting tool allows customers to view the information that is most important to them. Display information in customizable, real-time dashoards. Get alerts via email and texts.
Implement digital work instructions on one line, in one plant or use as a global solution. With a scalable solution, you choose when and where you need it. Seamlessly integrate with other Epicor Connected Process Control solutions, all stored on one simple application interface.
Run application locally or in the cloud. You decide what works best for your operation. Both are web-based with direct access to data anywhere, anytime.
Easily set-up multi-user levels and permissions. Track operator login time and credentials. If specific training or certification is needed in order to run a station, log-in requirements can be set to make sure compliance standards are met.
Access and store work instructions in the built-in library within the work instruction editor. Only team members allowed to edit work instructions will have access to the library and work instruction approval process. Built-in version control captures when work instructions are updated and approved.
Guide operators and error proof at a whole new level with these advanced capabilities!
Provide automatic feedback loops to operators and never leave them guessing what to do next. For example, if a part is rejected at the station, a work instruction would automatically display to the operator what to do based on the rejected event. When work instructions are formatted to show operators exactly what to do given possible events, delays and errors are virtually eliminated.
Animated guidance provides faster learning potential and visually guides operators through work instructions. For example, if an operator has five bolts to fasten, the work instructions would highlight the bolt to be fastened first, then, when that is completed, would highlight each subsequent bolt in order until the series is completed. This provides more specific visual guidance and ordering with less room for error and misunderstanding.
Collect unlimited amounts of process data with built-in and customizable data collection fields. Track items such as – cycle times, quality checklists, inspections/verifications, who completed them, tooling measurements, camera images, user specific notes, and much more. This will further eliminate paper at the station level and reduce manual data entry errors or missed entries.
With Epicor Connected Process Control, easily streamline continuous improvement initiatives. Users can quickly and easily configure processes and create standarized work instructions. Connect and enable IoT devices with no programming needed. Ensure operators follow the appropriate task sequence for error proofing. Collect unlimited amounts of process data, and ultimately, turn data silos into useful insight for ongoing improvement initiatives.
