1 Document Summary
This document contains user operation procedure regarding the MES Solution deployed at the
Client’s office.
Arcstone’s advanced manufacturing execution system (“MES”) consist of the following

components.
arc.opsTM: the operating system that serves as the backbone of Arcstone’s software
platform. It consolidates the information which is collected and processed
by arc.link and arc.quireTM. The information is then presented through a user-friendly
TM
interface that provides a holistic view of the entire manufacturing process. This allows
manufacturers to easily monitor production efficiency, track worker productivity and control
production processes.
arc.quireTM: integration software that processes and analyses data generated by

various machines, sensors and trackers on the factory . This solution is also designed to
integrate with programmable logic controllers (“PLCs”) and digital interfaces on machine and
equipment for a variety of vendors and suppliers.
arc.flowTM/arc.linkTM: integration software that processes and analyses data created through
a wide range of manufacturing software solutions – e.g. data from material requirements
planning software, enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) software and manufacturing
execution system software, and delivers it to arc.opsTM, allowing easy access to the full
spectrum of data covering the entire manufacturing process.
This document covers the basic operating procedure of the toolsets. As the system is
upgraded, additional update to the documents will updated at the following URL

7.4 Checklist Calculation

7.4.1 Introduction
Checklist calculations allow different cells of the checklist to be referenced as part of a

calculation. This operates similar to calculations within a spreadsheet.
Calculations can be used to
39
1. Determine the value of a checklist cell based on other entries in the checklist
2. Define the upper and lower limit of the range condition based on other entries in a
checklist
7.4.2 Supported Operations

The following operations are currently supported for checklist calculations:
1. + (adds two items)

2. - (subtracts two items
3. / (divides two items)
4. * (multiplies two items)
5. Iff(<condition>, value_if_true, value_if_false)
The condition of the iff statement above can use operators such as =, <, > to compare two
values. If the statement is true "value_if_true" is selected. If not, "value_if_false" will be chosen.
7.4.3 Displaying calculated values in the checklist
1. Select the calculation condition in the checklist builder and press the "pen" icon to
create a new formula.
2. Click on the cells that you would like to add to the formula. You will see them appear
in the formula bar. Add in the operators that you would like to use from the list of
40
supported operations above.
3. Once done, press the check button to save your formula.
7.4.4 Using calculations in the range condition
Rather than showing the calculation results directly on the checklist, they can also be used to
determine the upper and lower bound of a range condition. To this select the "pen" icon
within a range field to enter the condition in the same way.

8 Workflow Builder
8.1 Workflow Builder Introduction
Manufacturing process workflows detail the granular activity-level steps that must be
completed to create finished goods from raw materials. The workflow builder allows you to
rapidly design multiple workflows and recipes through:
1. Sequential processes – Each step in the workflow is performed one after the other. For
example, ‘Bending’ can only be done once ‘Weighing’ is completed
2. Parallel processes – Certain steps in the workflow can be done at the same time. For
example, ‘Cutting,’ ‘Picking,’ and ‘Bending’ can be scheduled and done at the
same time
By amalgamating individual elements such as checklists, inventory, personnel, and assets into
a unified process workflow, you will be able to:
1. Ensure quality control

2. Efficiently allocate manpower and resources
3. Assign available machines and equipment
With workflows, the planning and scheduling team can:
1. Accelerate their planning as individual items such as checklists, inventory, personnel,

and assets are pulled into one record
2. Production scheduling can automatically allocate available resources and personnel
based on what is specified in the workflow
The Sales Team can
1. Quickly create orders and link them to workflows for seamless handover to the
production and planning teams
the production team can:
1. Refer to instructions and manuals uploaded onto each step of the workflow, thereby
ensuring adherence to company guidelines and QA/QC
2. Monitor and track individual personnel step runtime, QA/QC checklists, and
scheduling of work in real-time since workflows specify the step runtime, checklists,
and instructions
42
3. Track and monitor various personnel working on similar workflow steps by comparing
data such as personnel step runtime, checklists, pause durations, and raising of alerts
and alarms
