Unlike traditional work instruction tools, Epicor CPC goes beyond simple task automation — it acts as the true nervous system of the connected factory. It orchestrates communication between operators, machines, and sensors to optimize your team’s processes and increase production capacity.

Epicor CPC – Traceability as a Core Feature

In various manufacturing sectors, traceability is essential. It not only ensures compliance with regulatory standards and quality management but also helps reduce the risk of product recalls.

With Epicor CPC, traceability isn’t an option — it’s a central feature. The system documents every step of the production process, from assembly to shipment, ensuring complete visibility and full compliance.

Key Traceability Features

  • Flexible production path configurations: Managers can set up and adjust processes to ensure all prerequisites are met before moving on to the next step.
  • Part associations and disassociations: Link parts together at any workstation and manage separations when repairs or modifications are required.
  • Defective part containment: Quickly identify anomalies and isolate affected parts to prevent non-compliant products from reaching the customer.

Improving Quality and Performance

Quality must be a top priority for any manufacturing company, as it goes hand in hand with customer satisfaction. However, even with well-trained teams and clearly defined processes, human error and skill gaps can still lead to defective products.

With Epicor CPC, quality management is built directly into the process. Operators benefit from interactive digital instructions that guide them through every step to reduce the risk of errors. In addition, supervisors gain real-time visibility, allowing them to respond quickly to issues and monitor production performance against key KPIs.
