Industry Applications
- Automotive (paint campaigns, sequencing, option-heavy production)
- Aerospace and defense manufacturing (multi-stage routing, compliance scheduling, supplier coordination)
- Electronics, semiconductors, and renewable energy (high-mix production, rapid changeovers, yield-sensitive sequencing)
- Medical device and high-mix discrete manufacturing (component-heavy builds, variable demand, long lead times)
Deployment and Platform
The Eyelit APS system supports cloud-based, hybrid, and on-premise deployment, giving manufacturers options for flexible implementation. It is also designed to integrate easily with existing ERP and MES platforms.
For manufacturers seeking a unified solution, Eyelit APS is also part of Eyelit’s larger Manufacturing Execution System (MES) platform. This allows companies to combine advanced planning capabilities with modules for production management, quality, and inventory, creating an end-to-end manufacturing system built on a shared data model.
Pricing
Eyelit APS has a quote-based pricing model tailored to each manufacturer’s size, complexity, and deployment needs. Costs vary depending on whether the system is implemented as a standalone APS solution or as part of the broader Eyelit MES Suite. Pricing details are not published publicly, so companies should contact Eyelit directly for a customized proposal.
