Manufacturing Operations Management

Factova RMS

A recipe management system that standardizes and manages material mix ratios and process conditions

WHY

Why Is It Needed?

The Recipe Management System (RMS) stores and standardizes the equipment recipes required for production on a central server, providing a consistent process environment.

It fundamentally blocks incorrect recipe application caused by engineer error, dramatically lowering the production defect rate, and maintains process stability with version control that records and tracks every recipe change in real time. It interfaces directly with individual manufacturing equipment to precisely control it using centrally validated and stored parameters and setpoints.

WHERE

Where Is It Used?

Target Industries
Any manufacturing process that must precisely change equipment settings for each product, such as material mix ratios, heating temperature, pressure, and working time Processes that alternate between many types of products (high-mix) on a single piece of equipment Essential for any industry with automated lines where machines must run under precise conditions on their own, without relying on operator intuition
Target Customers
Once used mainly in ultra-precision electronics such as semiconductors and displays, it is now expanding to customers that need high-value high-mix production, strict regulatory compliance, and automated mixing processes Secondary battery, pharmaceutical/bio, automotive parts, and advanced materials companies
KEY CAPABILITIES

AI Assistant Built In

Provides process-based automation and advancement that links recipes from product development through to equipment.

01 RMS AI Assistant
Provides process status summaries and more through natural-language queries, helping users understand data intuitively.
02 Super Agent
Integrates with RMS, SPC, FDC, OCAP, and MES to enable root cause analysis based on diverse data such as recipe changes, equipment events, and lot history.
MODULES

Recipe-Linked Process

Recipe-linked process: RMS receives recipe management items and setpoints from master data and product development, downloads the recipe to the equipment together with MES production lot information, checks the consistency of the recipe uploaded by the equipment, and proceeds with work only when it is OK

04
Continuous Process Improvement Through Traceability When defects occur, analyzes production history together with quality data to upgrade recipes to their optimal state
CUSTOMER VOICE

Voice of the Customer

“Validation Check lets us prevent process incidents in advance, and Coverage management lets us manage recipes selectively, which has improved production efficiency.”
Head of Production Operations, Display Manufacturer
WHY LG CNS

Why LG CNS

01 Standardized process flows and rigorous recipe item management based on equipment specifications

Manages recipes by process, equipment, model, and version and standardizes their items, establishing systematic and consistent standards even in complex production environments.

02 Continuous Process Improvement

By providing advanced data linked to actual production history and quality data, it gives the shop floor a strong foundation to analyze recipes from multiple angles and pursue continuous optimization.

03 Supports consistent production of the same high-quality products at all times, regardless of career length or experience level

Based on precise communication with equipment, it performs real-time recipe checks to prevent incorrect settings and automatically downloads and applies the correct recipe. This fully checks in advance for operator-error misapplication and prevents quality incidents.
