Smart solutions that deliver dramatically more productive manufacturing operations

IntelliWORKS is Pyramid Solutions’ production-proven, software application framework for the development of manufacturing solutions. Serving as the core of our manufacturing execution system (MES), Intelliworks provides an extensive set of features and interfacing capabilities that drive rapid development of systems that are both effective and reliable.

Engineered to deliver immediate, predictable, tangible business benefits, IntelliWORKS includes four principle MES solution platforms:

• Error-proofing
• Traceability and genealogy
• Defect tracking and reporting
• Production testing

Error-proofing

IntelliWORKS redefines error-proofing solutions for complex assembly environments. It integrates a robust combination of mistake-proofing, Poka Yoke, operator assist, and quality control functions that assure proper selection of parts and completion of required assembly operations to specification.

Enabling complex assembly of customized products on a single line, IntelliWORKS provides early warning of quality and assembly issues in real time, proactively preventing defects. As a result, IntelliWORKS reduces manpower requirements, as well as costly scrap and repair operations.

Error-proofing features in IntelliWORKS leverage innovative, highly flexible technologies to deliver business benefits that extend from the plant manager to the line operator. By assuring high quality first-run assemblies, minimizing operator training, and reducing production costs, IntelliWORKS will dramatically enhance the reliability, performance, and flexibility of your assembly operations.

Traceability and Genealogy

IntelliWORKS’ traceability and genealogy solutions provide reliable, comprehensive data collection and reporting capabilities. Required to meet industry and regulatory requirements, this knowledge also significantly increases operational efficiency. The solutions enhance compliance with customer requirements or government regulations for critical production components such as airbags, steering columns, and other safety-related parts.

Traceability and genealogy dramatically improve part and product tracking, and provide mission-critical linking of component lots or process parameters to assemblies, serial numbers, VIN tags or shipment containers. By facilitating identification and targeting of specific data involved when an issue arises, IntelliWORKS traceability and genealogy solutions drive efficient management of any future service, containment, or recall operation.

Defect Tracking and Reporting

IntelliWORKS’ defect tracking and reporting solution platform quickly identifies and reports defects in the manufacturing process. Operators and supervisors are notified immediately of defects through displays, lights, horns, and supervisor screens. Then, IntelliWORKS generates reports that aid in root cause analysis. It allows defect data to be attached to each specific assembly for repair purposes as well as for historical and regulatory reporting functions.

Production Testing

IntelliWORKS production testing solutions test complex production assemblies to assure a high level of quality. By enabling in-process, end-of-line and bench testing of assemblies, IntelliWORKS helps to meet exact requirements, building customer confidence and satisfaction.

It continuously validates and verifies which components were installed, prevents shipments of bad assemblies, and accelerates repair by identifying the specific repairs needed. IntelliWORKS will dramatically improve first-pass yield rates and build a documented, retrievable history of integrated test results data.

Custom Solutions

IntelliWORKS’ “Open System Design” was engineered to rapidly design and deploy custom solutions for virtually any manufacturing environment. Leveraging the extraordinary flexibility, extensibility, and interoperability of IntelliWORKS will give your company the competitive edge.
