Pros & Cons from Real Users Pros 1. Exceptional customer service 2. Quite intuitive and easy to use 3. Highly configurable per business needs Excellent MES system that is easy to configure and support. End user support is excellent from the company! This out of the box MES solution is easy to implement and versatile when configuring. The ideal solution for process control, tool interlock, traceability, data collection / retention and the integration of other devices such as PLC's, torque positioning arms, etc. Overall, the support is top notch, and the software is world class. Our company has been utilizing the PINpoint MES software since 2012. We have multiple assembly lines configured utilizing the software. Incorporation of the software on our lines ensures our engines are produced to specification as the product is configured within the PINpoint system. Ensuring the key critical data is stored for each engine produced is valuable for our business. We continue to incorporate the PINpoint MES software on our newest assembly lines ensuring we produce the highest quality products for our customers. Everything is traceable! From the moment the user logs in, every move is managed and controlled using PINpoint to interlock our Digitally Monitored Torque Tooling (DMTT) with PINpoint socket trays. Everything from printing shipping labels, pin stamping a part, using a digital gage to record a shafts endplay measurement, to monitoring and recording every fastening completed within the facility. Production problems are traceable using the available built-in ANDON system with easily configured buttons, text messaging to 1st responders, everything is documented and timestamped. No more guessing or exaggerating downtimes within your workstations. PINpoint's easily configurable and puts you in complete control of your process while giving you up to the second data of all operations as they happen on the shop floor Cons Some configurations are still a bit manual which causes some concerns on sustainability when scaling up and initial setup. Nothing so far! I think the only thing that I would like to see is iOS and Android support. The Pinpoint software in previous versions had some flaws, but the latest version seems flawless thus far. To allow for unique process functionality, each product has to be configured individually. In the future it would be beneficial to have a template we would input our system information into that would upload for ease of configuration. Multi-level and department system support is required with controls for the PLC for communication. Software licensing and maintenance fees to be considered in overall project planning ensuring cost justification considerations are met. As a 1st responder supporting multiple facilities (280+ work stations with 400 DMTTs), the inconsistencies in the way things are named or referred to from one site to another needs to be standardized. While naming is in the user’s control and not really a PINpoint issue, the thing that would benefit a large company rolling out PINpoint across multiple facilities would be to develop a "Standardized Naming Convention" for process steps, fastening steps, tooling, tooling types, production lines, work stations, data managers, and devices before starting. Standardize EVERYTHING!! This way the support team from one site can actually help support multiple sites without ever actually being there in person because they know by a tool or device's name... what it actually is without ever laying eyes on it	Pros & Cons from Real Users Pros Unlike many ERP software solutions I have worked with in The Precision Machining field, ProShop has a distinct functionality to capture intrinsic data, with little effort, from the shop floor. Hands down, there is no more important function to your businesses success. Complete continuity across our business platform. Implementation is smooth and aggressive. Integrated QMS that most competitors do not have. Very user friendly! Company works with you and makes sure you have full understanding of how to use the system before turning over full access. Company takes you through a hands on training course and is always open to questions and suggestions. We like the fact that everything is traceable all of our actions,purchasing and requirements are documented and traceable. Nothing gets missed. All of the information for every job is recorded and easily recalled by any and all who need it. I really like most everything. The IT burden, since the software is browser based, is literally zero to install . You have a computer? You can access proshop from it. It is easy to use from single board computers--a real IT savings. The scope of the software is incredible. It covers all of your quality system bases for you. You know the niggling little things that ISO and AS demand but are really hard to keep up with for a small company? Things like reapproval of documents? Proshop handles those for you, making compliance easy and impossible to forget. Licensing is by the user and not by the station, so I can install as many access points as I want without paying any extra money. That means nobody lining up at the one terminal on the floor that you paid for to enter their data. Cons It takes a great deal of windows hot keys to be proficient. Nothing that we have found to this point, we are quite impressed with the product. Can be a little overwhelming at first when you start looking around in it but that passes after the initial training. The dispensing of tooling to a job could use some more flexibility. Tooling inventory management is set up for repeat production environment The benefits of the browser interface comes with some drawbacks. Mostly cosmetic formatting issues. Sometimes data is presented in a text format that would be a little nicer if it was graphical as well. Not much really; you can really tell that this software was directed and developed by people who were on the floor pushing buttons and dealing with the administrative side at the same time. It takes care of everybody pretty well.
