A Manufacturing Execution System built for real shop floors, not just dashboards.
Give every work order, machine, and operator a real-time record — from job release to finished-goods handoff — without replacing the ERP you already run.
What's actually happening on the floor today
- Work orders tracked on whiteboards, paper travelers, or disconnected spreadsheets
- No real-time view of what's actually running on the line right now
- Machine downtime and changeovers logged after the fact, if at all
- Quality holds and rework discovered too late to prevent scrap
- ERP shows what should happen — not what is happening
What changes with FirstLeap
- Work orders released, tracked, and closed digitally at the point of execution
- Live status for every line, machine, and job — visible from the floor or the office
- Downtime, changeovers, and OEE captured automatically as they happen
- Quality checks and holds enforced at the operation, before the next step
- A real-time bridge between ERP plans and shop-floor reality
Everything execution needs, in one system.
Work Order & Job Tracking
Release, sequence, and close work orders digitally, with full visibility into what's running where.
Shop Floor Data Collection
Operators log output, scrap, and downtime at the machine — no re-keying after shift end.
OEE & Production Monitoring
Availability, performance, and quality roll up into OEE you can see line by line.
Digital Work Instructions
Standard work and revision-controlled instructions at the operator's station, every time.
Quality & Inspection Gates
Enforce checks before a job can move to the next operation.
ERP Integration
Sync work orders, inventory, and completions with SAP, Oracle, or Microsoft Dynamics.
What changes on the floor.
Built for batch and discrete manufacturers alike.
Dedicated industry pages are on the way — in the meantime, here's where FirstLeap fits today.
Electronics & PCB Assembly
High-mix, high-traceability lines where a single misrouted lot is a costly recall.
Automotive Components
IATF-aligned quality records and supplier genealogy on every part.
Rubber & Polymer Processing
FirstLeap's original use case — compound, cure, and inspection tracked batch by batch.
Medical Devices
Device history records and lot traceability built for regulatory scrutiny.
Food & Beverage Processing
Ingredient lot tracking and recall precision from intake to case pack.
Industrial Equipment
Work-order execution and inspection records for lower-volume, high-complexity builds.
Three steps, running continuously.
Release the Work Order
Jobs are released to the floor digitally, sequenced against real machine and labor capacity.
Capture Execution in Real Time
Output, scrap, downtime, and quality checks are logged at the point of work, automatically timestamped.
Close the Loop with ERP
Completions and consumption sync back to your ERP — no double entry, no end-of-shift reconciliation.
Pair MES with traceability for a complete record.
FirstLeap's Manufacturing Traceability platform shares the same batch backbone as MES — run both for execution and genealogy in one continuous record, or start with Factory Digitization to replace paper on the floor first.
