jetStream mfg - Manufacturing Execution, Planning & Data Collection
With jetStream mfg™, manufacturing companies turn orders into cash faster than ever. It is a robust, yet easy-to-use system for controlling and monitoring manufacturing execution. With an ever increasing need-for speed, jetStream enables your people to absorb, adapt and execute quickly. Priced at a fraction of other Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) and Data Collection systems, your return on investment is measured in weeks, not years.
jetStream is for any manufacturer that needs to improve on-time delivery rates, shrink inventory, reduce WIP, curtail excessive expediting, improve cash flow and adapt quickly to fluctuating demand. jetStream enables your company to be more agile; support your journey into lean manufacturing techniques and to communicate clear, concise priorities and real-time status throughout the production process.
jetStream addresses three basic questions central to any manufacturing process:
- What should I do next? Through an easy-to use planning / prioritization; paperless work dispatch/to-do list – and instant recognition of changes in demand, process, priorities and more.
- What are the details I need to accomplish this task? By linking to documents and drawings relevant to the selected task.
- What has been done? Real-time Data Collection captures activity at-the-source in as little as One-Click, with a customizable, conditional reporting process. Status and detailed history are instantly available to all stakeholders.

Integrated & Agile
jetStream is built to be integrated with your business system or ERP system, and support multiple approaches to manufacturing simultaneously. As such, your business system sets the high-level milestones, or “drumbeat” for production from order promise dates, master schedules, kan-ban signals, and such. jetStream then helps you to fine-tune, or micro-schedule your priorities for optimal execution in your shop.
Change is constant. jetStream adapts quickly to changes in process, quantities, promise dates, product configuration and more. Changes are immediately reflected and highlighted in jetStream, giving both planner and production the information needed to smoothly adapt and adjust.
Bottom-line Focused
Balancing your customer demands with your need for an efficient operation and throughput is a constant struggle. With jetStream’s simple drag & drop planning and optimization tools give you total, intuitive control over priorities and event sequencing to make the most of your resources.
Our real-time, bullet-proof shop-floor data collection is integral to keeping track of progress and status. jetStream offers many options to allow you to customize and simplify reporting of activity to suit your specific and changing needs. With it’s off-line capabilities, you can continue to report progress even when your servers or network are down — so production never misses a beat.
