An Overview of Xperdyte Advanced Manufacturing Software
Xperdyte Software is a software development and distribution company specialising in manufacturing software. Our proprietary software was developed over more than a decade and incorporates all aspects of manufacturing operations, helping businesses to plan, execute, and measure production with accurate costing and strong operational control.
Xperdyte Manufacturing provides a seamless integration into Sage 50cloud Pastel, Sage 200 Evolution and Sage Intacct.
This integration positions Xperdyte as both a manufacturing execution system and a strategic extension of the customer’s existing financial and enterprise resource planning environment.
- Production Decanting: Manage stock repackaging and cost tracking.
- Serial/Lot Tracking: Inventory traceability when integrated with Sage systems.
- Specific Gravity (SG): Conversion between mass and volume per product
- Linked Technical Documents: per BOM / Works Order
- Tool Allocation: to Works Orders
- Output Value To General Ledger: For cases where output is not a stock item (e.g. repairs)
- ICOR: Costing relevant to farming operations
Xperdyte Advanced Manufacturing Features & Benefits:
Xperdyte Manufacturing is a comprehensive manufacturing solution designed specifically for manufacturers. It centralises control across key production processes from material requirements planning (MRP) through to production scheduling, giving teams the tools to plan, record, track, and control daily production output effectively.
Production and Accounting Flow
The system streamlines the entire production workflow:
Bill of Materials
Xperdyte utilizes multi-level Bills of Materials as a core element for accurate costing, efficiency measurement, and complete production control.
Key Features and Benefits:
Detailed and Accurate Costing
The BOM structure enables precise cost calculations by incorporating various elements:
- Materials and Components
- Labour and Set-Up Time
- Machine Overheads
- Outwork or Buyouts
- Other Cost Types
Advanced Production Costing Functionality
- Compensation for yield losses is included
- Costs are allocated into fixed or variable cost groups.
Cost Management and Scenario Planning
- Allows for powerful 'what if' costing scenarios.
Unlimited Complexity
Xperdyte supports unlimited multi-level BOMs
Full Quality Control (QC)
- Setup of QC test methods to form a COA testing profile for each product
Work in Progress
Works Orders are essential for managing and measuring production performance. They facilitate:
Works Order Management
- Product Routing: Defining the path through different works centers.
- Prioritization: Setting the order in which production tasks are executed.
- Performance Measurement: Comparing actual results against established standards.
- Production Feedback: Enabling efficient data capture, such as through barcode scanning.
Production Feedback Records Actual Usage on All Cost Types
- Materials
- Machine Times
- Set-up Times
- Labour Time
- Outwork
- Any Other Costs
Production Feedback on Output Quantity and Value (Actual vs Standard)
Allows various costing Methods
- Standard Cost
- Actual Cost
- Set Cost
Production Processes
- Discrete Manufacturing involves producing multiple identical items.
- Non-discrete or co-product output allows for the manufacturing of multiple co-products within a single works order. Examples include fashion apparel (size curves), meat processing, and deboning.
Product Scheduling
Xperdyte Manufacturing enables easy scheduling of production tasks, with Works Orders manageable at the Work Centre level.
Material Requirement Planning
The Material Requirement Planning (MRP) module is designed to achieve three key objectives simultaneously:
This intuitive software streamlines the material requirement planning process. The MRP module facilitates daily, weekly, and monthly projections and forecasts. It generates necessary manufacturing and purchasing requirements by extracting demand from sources such as customer sales orders or sales forecasts.
Quality and Statistical Production Control
Xperdyte facilitates comprehensive Quality Control (QC) through the implementation of tests with specified tolerance levels. These QC checks can be applied on raw materials, or during the production process, and can be linked to lot numbers for traceability.
Actual test results are captured in order to generate a Certificate Of Analysis (COA) associated with the products.
Xperdyte Manufacturing Decanting Solution
For many manufacturers, the process of changing the pack size of stock known as decanting is essential. This facility is crucial for accurately managing stock levels and calculating the associated costs simultaneously.
Key Features of Xperdyte's Decanting Facility:
Stock Control
Manages and tracks all source items consumed to produce the new, decanted item.
Material Reclamation
Accounts for and returns any re-usable materials extracted during the decanting process back into stock.
Cost Calculation
Determines the precise Nett Cost of the newly decanted item.
Serial / Lot Tracking
Xperdyte facilitates comprehensive “cradle-to-grave” tracking for inventory items through its seamless integration with the Sage Evolution inventory, serial number tracking, and lot tracking modules.
Key Features include:
Full Traceability
Detailed information is maintained for specific inventory items, enabling complete traceability for both serial numbers and lots/batches in conjunction with Sage Evolution.
Recall Capability
Detailed information is maintained for specific inventory items, enabling complete traceability for both serial numbers and lots/batches in conjunction with Sage Evolution.
