Xiaopai is a manufacturing execution system (MES) for small and mid-size manufacturers. Production in these plants usually lives on paper work orders and spreadsheets: progress is opaque, data is scattered, scheduling depends on veteran know-how, job reporting is slow and inventory never matches the books. Xiaopai brings the key steps from order to completion into one system and gets a plant running with minimal setup.
Results
- Time to go livea traditional ERP / MES takes 3 months at best and often six months to a year; Xiaopai goes live in 1 week on average — over 90% faster
- Accurate reportingreplaces paper job-routing cards — workers report as they finish by entering a quantity, ending the distorted data of after-the-fact entry
- Customer basenearly 100 manufacturers served, with an 80% renewal rate
Problems it solves
- Opaque progressorders, work orders and process status roll up to a live production board — no more walking the floor to ask
- Experience-driven scheduling: suggestions based on process capacity, equipment and BOM structure reduce the chaos of rush orders
- Late, inaccurate reporting: paper routing cards are often filled in after the fact; scanning or entering a quantity reports on the spot, and output and hours are written back to the work order automatically
- Data silosorders, routings and materials share one set of master data, so every report uses the same definitions
How it differs
- Light to adoptunlike traditional MES built for large plants, it needs no long custom implementation — the standard flow is ready to use
- Built for the shop floor3 ways to report jobs — scan, quick and standard — to fit different stations and workers
- Configured, not customized: step order, reporting approvals and other rules are switches, so each plant is fitted without code changes
- Standardized rollouta structured implementation method shortens the path from contract to go-live
Key features
- Orders & work ordersimport, batch printing and progress tracking, with manual or smart work-order creation
- Smart schedulingplans built from capacity and material constraints, with conflicts and delays easy to spot
- Job reportingscan, quick and standard reporting, written back in real time
- Processes & routingsconfigurable step order and approval switches
- Materials & BOMvisual BOM tree with drag-and-drop parts, quantity and scrap-rate editing
