Real-Time Smart Operations Management (RT-SOM) is a third-generation operational control paradigm that continuously monitors, analyzes, and optimizes manufacturing and industrial processes in real time using intelligent agents, event-driven data, and automated exception detection. This enables organizations to anticipate and respond to disruptions before they impact delivery, cost, or quality
The purpose of this website is to be a source of information about how to implement Real-Time Smart Operations Management Solutions, with a special emphasis on real-time tracking and process-flow management of work-in-process jobs and materials through manufacturing plant and distribution warehouses and the industrial supply chains that link them.
This website is a repository of videos, white papers and other resources related to the implementation of real-time smart operations management (RT-SOM) systems that track and manage work-in-progress WIP materials tracking and traceability in industrial supply-chains.
It is also a repository of information about the SmartOps24x7 (pronounced Smart Ops 24 by 7) Software Suite which is an open architecture software suite which available at modest cost to enable smaller and mid-sized industrial organizations to quickly implement real-time smart operations management solutions at an affordable cost.
The SmartOps24x7 Software Suite is designed for the real-time tracking of containers of material, assets and serialized items which have a unique license plate number barcode and/or RFID tag attached. This includes tracking the shipping, receipt, warehousing, movement, transformation, labeling, picking and packing of these materials in a wide variety of applications.
By contrast, ERP, accounting, and conventional warehouse management systems track the quantity of specific items at specific locations. While this is adequate for many applications, these software products do not address situations where the tracking of individual containers of material, serialized items, or assets is required, especially where these have to be tracked at many different geographic locations.
The unique capabilities of the SmartOps24x7 Software Suite have been proven in over a decade of use, in a wide-variety of real-time smart operations management applications. These capabilities have enabled cost effective implementation of Work-in-Process (WIP) tracking and Material Tracking & Traceability Systems, including those requiring store and forward data exchange with field and mobile units where there may be intermittent communications.
We recognize that with RT-SOM applications, each system needs to be tailored to the specific needs of the organization. This includes exchanging data with a wide-variety of ERP, accounting, sales, process control, and AI decision support systems, as well as with systems belonging to supply-chain partners.
To this end, SmartOps24x7 is supplied as an open-architecture software platform designed to be tailored to the specific needs of each organization by an organization's own in-house business analysis, IT, and manufacturing engineering staff, based on the extensive documentation provided on this site. Also, SmartOps24x7 is actively growing a Partner Support Ecosystem comprised of third-party consultants, systems integrators, IT people, and resellers of the needed equipment who can assist in the implementation process.
