Xfactory is Tecnomatix's new Manufacturing Execution System (MES) product. A work-in-process (WIP) tracking product, it incorporates Microsoft's newest, premier technologies. It is built on Microsoft's Distributed interNet Applications (DNA) architecture, enabling manufacturing plants to automate their production processes faster than ever before.
Xfactory enables factories to integrate, co-ordinate and manage data across multiple levels - including all areas of production, inventory management, scheduling, planning and business management. Xfactory creates a representation of the factory using objects that represent different manufacturing functions.

Simplifies process improvement.
Changes can be made at any time, without shutting down processes, rebuilding databases or recompiling applications.

Provides total plant process visibility.
Monitoring your plant processes is as simple as using a standard Windows style explorer.

Eliminates the implementation time barrier.
Drastically reduces implementation times. Configuration is as simple as drag and drop. Plant floor operator stations configure themselves automatically while running.

Reduces cost of ownership.
The first and only process control software to enable your process engineers to implement and maintain complete plant MES solutions.

Enhances information flow.
Effortlessly routes plant floor information and documents where and when they are needed.

Built entirely upon open technologies.
Eases integration and extensibility through the comprehensive use of technologies, such as ActiveX, ODBC, component-based communications and a three-tiered architecture.
