ROBIN, the operations management cockpit.

No. Your ERP remains the system of record for work orders, routings and bills of materials: it was designed for management, not for detailed scheduling. ROBIN connects to it through standard connectors (SAP, Sage and others) and takes over what it cannot do: dynamic finite-capacity scheduling and real-time shop-floor data (tracking, geolocation, actual progress).

The same goes for an existing MROMROMaintenance, Repair & OverhaulMaintenance, repair and overhaul of aeronautical equipment. Unlike serial production, the scope of work is only known after inspection.See in the glossary → system: ROBIN pulls its work orders, routings and standard hours, and adds the layer it lacks. Your ERP investment is preserved.

From signature to go-live, allow less than three months in most cases, support included, where heavyweight APSAPSAdvanced Planning & SchedulingAdvanced planning and scheduling software that calculates an optimised sequence under constraints (capacity, skills, materials). The software category to which ROBIN belongs.See in the glossary → projects take 16 to 24 months. A demonstration on your own data can be set up in a few days.

You then start on a critical scope (a workshop, a line, a resource) and extend at your teams' pace. Most of the work goes into structuring routings and resources, not into configuring the software. The timeline is split into phases, with milestones and success criteria defined at the outset.

No. Your routings, your operation times, even approximate ones, and your resources are enough, with no prior overhaul of your information system: ROBIN connects to the existing ERP, MESMESManufacturing Execution SystemManufacturing execution system: work order tracking at the workstation, reporting, real-time traceability.

The initial diagnosis identifies the data available and the gaps to fill, then ROBIN flags missing, inconsistent or outdated data before it skews a decision. Accuracy improves with use.

MRO and aerospace production, automotive and transport, electronics, cosmetics and pharma, textiles and luxury, and more broadly manufacturing industries with complex flows. ROBIN reasons at the level of the constraint (machine, operator, tooling), not of a fixed flow type: whatever your production mode, the challenge is to keep up with a shop-floor reality that changes all the time.
