Batch Manufacturing

Integrated Track and Trace

Advance KPIs

Warehouse Management

Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE)

Maintenance ANDON

Scheduling

Product Genealogy

Event-Driven Workflows

Monitor plant and operations activity in real-time and generate events if a change in status occurs, from equipment stoppage to operator action. Then trigger specific business process automation workflows to streamline your response.

Batch Manufacturing

Get the most powerful batch data processing engine on the market. Access a real-time, event-driven view of your batch manufacturing process—not just an end-of-batch record. The Rhize platform generates Gantt-based views of what happened and what is happening, making it easier to identify and decrease deviations in product quality in a far more timely manner.

Integrated Track and Trace

Get a traceability solution that satisfies regulatory requirements while providing vital information about processes and efficiencies. Rhize allows you to trace product history through each material, machine and human interaction, but with all your supplier data integrated, giving you an up-to-the-minute, moving picture instead of merely a historical snapshot.

Advance KPIs

Get decision-grade insights from a single source of truth. The ISO 22400 standard outlines what you need for manufacturing KPIs, and Rhize comes with that standard out of the box. Start measuring and calculating key KPIs without the tedium of stakeholder arguments so you can start making improvements to your operations.

Warehouse Management

Good receipt, stocking, pulling and shipping are all part of the process. Stop managing them separately. Rhize extends the ISA-95 standard schema to your Warehouse Management System (WMS) and brings it into the fold with other systems. Get greater integration with Materials Resources Planning (MRP) and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP).

Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE)

Combine equipment downtime metrics with throughput and quality. Rhize goes beyond traditional OEE calculations to provide cause-and-effect relationships, root-cause analysis and real-time equipment status that point solutions can't match. These insights only come from a comprehensive ISA-95 data model.

Maintenance ANDON

Automated manufacturers struggle to understand the undocumented downtime that occurs during maintenance events. The Maintenance ANDON application captures the process as a series of events, giving operators workflow-driven insights into mean time between failures (MTBF) and mean time to repair (MTTR).

Scheduling

Production scheduling with Rhize gives manufacturers complete flexibility and control with a visual Gantt-based UI. The scheduling feature is tied to and interacts with your entire ISA-95 model, so when changes occur, your schedules update automatically—no matter how complex your recipes or equipment lines are.

Product Genealogy

Maintain full control over your material quality and traceability with Rhize. The ISA-95 schema contains a well-defined data structure for product genealogy. As soon as you configure your material and equipment definitions, all the info you need for a genealogical product record is at your fingertips.
