Frequently asked questions

Answer

Does Connect981 replace our MES?

No. Connect981 is an execution layer that works alongside your ERP and MES, connecting the people and processes on the floor to the systems you already run.

How long does implementation take?

Most teams deploy in days, not months. Individual solutions can be built, modified, and deployed in hours with the Designer App.

What results have customers seen?

A leading aerospace structures manufacturer digitized its shop floor network within weeks. Work order completion got 40% faster, scrap dropped 10%, repair dropped 20%, and labor efficiency improved 10%.

What's in the template library?

More than 50 pre-built templates, including work order management, first article inspection, nonconformance resolution, and supplier collaboration.

Does it support Lean and continuous improvement?

Yes. Lean, CAPA, and Six Sigma methods are built into daily operations, so every build feeds measurable improvement.

Can it scale across plants and suppliers?

Yes. The same expert solutions deploy across programs, plants, and suppliers.
