The FlexNet® platform is an operations execution platform that readily adapts to your existing IT infrastructure. FlexNet includes a suite of plug-and-play modules that you can deploy, modify and extend as required. Built for Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) deployment and powered by rich business process authoring capabilities, FlexNet fills the gap between your ERP and automation systems to deliver an end-to-end adaptive manufacturing solution.

Flexibility With Business Process Authoring
FlexNet Process Builder is a complete business process management application that gives non-technical personnel the dynamic authoring capabilities needed to deal with manufacturing complexity. You can readily adapt processes with full integration to existing ERP systems. Using XML-based Web services technology and drag-and-drop tools, FlexNet Process Builder enables you to adapt to and control manufacturing complexity without resorting to laborious custom coding. FlexNet Process Builder enables you to quickly respond to changes in market demand, business strategy and/or regulatory oversight, while maintaining continuous improvement initiatives.

Winning With a Service-Oriented Architecture
One of the key reasons FlexNet is able to provide this unprecedented level of adaptability is because Apriso was the first to adapt to new technological innovations. FlexNet was the first industry solution built around a pure SOA. As a result, FlexNet is highly modular and easily integrates into other applications. AMR Research defines SOA as “a standards-based approach to managing services made available by different software packages for reuse and reconfiguration.” FlexNet’s SOA-based, next-generation enterprise architecture is uniquely suited to solutions that fill the critical gaps between business and process control applications.

Built on a Unified Data Model
One user interface. One unified data model. One consistent view of the world. One system on which to run your operations. It’s a powerful concept with endless benefits. And unlike old-fashioned, monolithic applications that try to achieve The Power of One by building a single, massive “all or nothing” program, FlexNet is completely componentized, meaning companies can gradually get to The Power of One by phasing in modules over time rather than resorting to “forklift upgrades.” Whether it’s adapting to changing market conditions or changes in your technology infrastructure, FlexNet is all about helping your organization embrace change and use it to your advantage.
