PRODUCTION
Krae.Forge lets you define production processes and procedures, generate production and work orders, control materials, people responsible, costs, waste, and results, and integrate that information with inventory and administration.
THE PROBLEM
When production processes, repetitive work, materials used, and results are controlled through separate records, it becomes harder to know what should have been done, what actually happened, and how each operation affected inventory and costs.
THE KRAE.OS SOLUTION
Krae.Forge lets you define production processes and procedures, use them as a basis for generating Production Orders or Work Orders, and later control their execution, materials, people responsible, results, and costs within Krae.OS.
A production process defines how specific inputs and materials move through stages to produce a finished product. That definition becomes the basis for later Production Orders.
Transformation, manufacturing, or product fractioning.
A procedure defines the tasks required for repetitive work that needs control, even when it is not part of a manufacturing process. That definition becomes the basis for later Work Orders.
Maintenance, oil and filter changes, accessory installation, or window tinting.
PRODUCTION ORDERS
Based on previously defined processes, Krae.OS lets you generate Production Orders and control their execution within Krae.Forge.
The process defines how production should be carried out. The PO records and controls a specific execution.
WORK ORDERS
Previously defined procedures can be used as a basis for generating Work Orders when maintenance, services, or other tasks requiring follow-up need to be performed.
WOs apply the same definition, assignment, and follow-up logic to tasks that do not necessarily produce a manufactured product.
During a Production Order, Krae.OS can automatically manage the exit of inputs and materials from the warehouse and the subsequent entry of the finished product.
Production and inventory therefore remain connected within the same management system.

PRODUCTION CONTROL
Krae.OS lets you work with estimated process information and later compare it with the actual production and costs recorded during execution.
ESTIMATED
Planned production
Estimated cost
ACTUAL
Completed production
Actual cost
Production reports let you review what was executed and compare estimated quantities and costs with the actual results obtained.
Stages in Production and Work Orders can be assigned to internal or external people responsible, making it possible to organize and control who participates in each part of the process or procedure.
Krae.OS lets you manage waste and scrap generated during execution, adding that information to the actual production control.
INDUSTRIAL AUTOMATION
Krae.Tech also develops industrial automation solutions that link plant processes and equipment with business management.
Each project is assessed according to the production process, the equipment involved, and the information that needs to be exchanged.
Krae.Tech can develop automatic production-data capture solutions that take information directly from the industrial process and link it with Krae.OS.
When the project allows it, data generated on the shop floor can be incorporated into administrative management in real time, reducing the need to later transcribe what happened during production.
When automatic data capture exists, information generated by the process can reach Krae.OS in real time, allowing production and administration to work with data much closer to when events occur.
Less later entry. More connection between the shop floor and administration.
Krae.Forge manages processes, procedures, POs, and WOs within Krae.OS.
When the project requires it, Krae.Tech can add automation and automatic data capture.
Purchases add materials and products to inventory and form part of the same circuit that later feeds production.
Explore Purchasing and suppliersOnce the finished product enters available inventory, it can continue through the same system via sales, invoicing, inventory, collections, and administration.
Movements related to production, inventory, and administration can remain available for review, helping you understand what happened and how the recorded changes were generated.

For companies that transform inputs and materials into finished products.
For companies that need to perform and control repetitive procedures, maintenance, or services.
Krae.Forge is part of a broader management system where production can remain connected to purchasing, inventory, costs, sales, finance, and accounting.
