Mills Metals and Chemicals

Improve quality and batch controls for your continuous manufacturing processes. Expand capacity through efficient scheduling. Reduce waste with demand pull materials preparation. Accelerate order fulfillment.

Solarsoft has been developing software for continuous manufacturing operations since 1982. Our industry specialists have worked in partnership with customers making textiles, paper, non-ferrous metal products and specialty chemicals to build the ideal ERP system for continuous production operations.

Our Tropos system is specifically designed to handle attributes like dimensions, grades and patterns which can be defined without creating new product codes. There is full support for co-products, by-products and waste products to be included within the bill of materials which is optimized for recipe and rate based manufacturing.

Graphical scheduling capabilities and the ability to integrate with a wide range of plant and equipment make Tropos unique in the ERP marketplace.

Key Benefits

  • Track every raw materials batch through to finished goods
  • Maximize throughput with efficient production scheduling
  • Define dimensions and grades without creating new product codes
  • Hook up shop floor equipment for real-time monitoring
  • Cut scrap and waste and reduce WIP inventory levels
  • Respond quickly to customer schedules and just-in-time orders

Tropos will help you tune your demand-pull environment, particularly with short manufacturing cycles and even shorter customer lead times. Rough cut planning to full graphical scheduling are fully supported with balancing and optimization between lines.

Our process-based approach is far easier to use than traditional MRP logic designed for discrete manufacturing.

Regulatory Compliance

Tropos was designed with quality at its heart. Working with hazardous materials, it is important to keep track of documentation such as MSDS and TREM and ensure that the required warnings and instructions are given. Our Hazards Management Module provides these facilities.
