With ARCOS, thousands of alerts can be dispatched simultaneously, ensuring compliance with union agreements while decreasing potential grievances. Furthermore, for manufacturers that need to navigate complex, unionized, or policy-driven regulations for staffing production shifts, ARCOS's scheduling solutions significantly cut down the time required to allocate the right personnel to the assembly line by automating the scheduling and callout processes, thereby guaranteeing that production facilities are adequately staffed at all times. This streamlined approach enhances operational efficiency, leading to improved productivity and reduced downtime.

RunMark is a cloud-based software solution designed for production scheduling and traceability, tailored for small to mid-sized process manufacturers operating between 2 to 20 lines, particularly in sectors like plastics extrusion and wire and cable, which traditionally utilize spreadsheets for scheduling. Users can define the specific products that each line is capable of handling, set the production rate per product, establish shift schedules, and determine the minutes required for changeovers between different products. The software intelligently allocates orders to suitable lines during available shift hours, reserves necessary changeover time based on the sequence of operations, and allows for the division of larger orders across multiple lines to optimize efficiency. Additionally, RunMark produces print-ready PDF traceability labels that feature critical information such as product details, production dates, line identifiers, lot numbers, and quantities. It also incorporates useful functionalities like a visual Gantt scheduler, the ability to import orders from Excel, generation of bills of lading, inventory-aware fulfillment options, and reporting capabilities for both runs and shifts. Furthermore, advanced features such as AI order parsing and a production assistant are accessible exclusively through the annual subscription and during the free trial period, enhancing the user experience and operational effectiveness.
