Epicor Connected Process Control (CPC) is a flexible no-code/low-code MES and manufacturing operations platform that helps manufacturers standardize production and assembly processes, improve quality, and increase visibility across the shop floor. Using digital work instructions with multimedia content, manufacturers can guide operators through critical tasks, enforce process control, and improve consistency across products, workstations, and production lines. CPC connects equipment and devices to collect production and quality data in real time, helping manufacturers identify issues faster, reduce waste, and support continuous improvement. CPC provides product traceability with a complete historical record of each product's build and inspection history. Manufacturers use CPC to support assembly verification, error proofing, quality inspections, operator guidance, and other connected manufacturing initiatives. For manufacturers with complex product variations, CPC can dynamically present the correct work instructions based on the product or configuration being built, helping ensure products are assembled accurately and consistently. Available on-premises or in the cloud, CPC scales from a single work cell to enterprise-wide deployments.
