Exenta from Aptean Shopfloor Control is a real-time manufacturing execution system designed specifically for the production of uniforms and other apparel or sewn goods. It is also a 2022 Innovation Award winner.

The system gives up-to-the minute visibility into WIP and helps to identify and eliminate production bottlenecks. The solution also automates incentive payroll calculations, replacing manual processes that are both time-consuming and error prone. It provides immediate performance feedback on efficiency and quality to operators and managers, resulting in increased production and improved quality of finished goods.

Exenta from Aptean leverages an innovative Android app, management dashboard, and off-the-shelf tablets running on Wi-Fi to collect production data on the factory floor. By eliminating the traditional requirements for proprietary hardware, wired network infrastructure and complex software tools, Exenta from Aptean has placed set up and use of the technology at the forefront of the design. Workstation setup is as simple as downloading an app and scanning two QR codes. At that point, an employee can start working immediately.

By simplifying system use and removing significant cost and setup barriers inherent with legacy SFC systems, Exenta from Aptean has made real-time shop floor management more accessible and affordable. Uniform and apparel manufacturers from small contractors to major brands can leverage this innovative technology to quickly achieve the many benefits of real-time visibility and control. With multi-lingual and multiple currency capabilities, the solution is designed to support manufacturers around the globe.
