The Rhombus Factory Information System is a modular production control system for medium to high volume manufacturers.
It is unusual in that it has been built up from a shop-floor data collection system, rather than down from an accounting system. This means that it has modules to handle many tasks on the shop-floor which you do not get in other software packages.
Large companies use it as a Manufacturing Execution System.
Small and medium sized companies use it to run their businesses.
FIS gives every container of parts and material in your factory a unique number.
The movement of each container through the factory is individually tracked by FIS.
This gives you complete visibility of the location and progress of all work in progress.
FIS records the input and output containers for each manufacturing operation, thus providing complete traceability from a container of finished parts back to the raw materials from which it was made.
