VRPIS
VRPIS (Virtual Production and Information System) is an integrated information system designed to automate, monitor, and optimize production processes in industrial environments. It connects business operations with real-time production data – covering everything from purchasing and planning, through production to sales, reporting, and analytics.
Benefits of VRPIS
Reduced production costs
Improved
production planning and optimization
Simplified workflows and improved employee performance
Full automation of
operational steps
Direct integration with production systems
Minimized errors and unnecessary tasks
Support for data-driven process development
Core Features
VRPIS is built on proven practices and modern management principles. It features an intuitive interface with multi-level authorization to 
data resources and supports the full workflow beginning with a purchase of a raw material, ending with the selling of final 
product and its accounting. The system offers remote access, seamless integration with production control systems, and clear data visualization for faster decision-making. Its 
architecture is fully configurable, scalable, and secure to meet diverse operational needs.

Structure of VRPIS
Processes monitoring and task control
- Displays upcoming tasks to be performed by user
- Provides an overview of the status of subordinates’ tasks
- Prevents unnecessary process slippages with early real-time alerts
- Displays the status of critical parts of production processes (for example, the process of smelting aluminum)
Purchase
- Tools for the purchasing team to purchase necessary materials early for smooth production
- Calculate the quantity of goods to purchase based on the current stock status and future production requirements according to planned recipes, determining the latest possible delivery date
- Viewing the history of past purchases from suppliers to assess their reliability and price trends
- Order generation
- Tools for purchasing technical support materials and services.
Sale
- Customer order records
- Highlighting a request if it cannot be delivered within the requested time frame. It is possible to reschedule to an earlier date or agree on a postponement with the customer.
- Preliminary production distribution over time, taking into account the production capacity of individual production lines and required delivery dates
- Invoice generation
- Recording prices of critical materials on the stock exchange and displaying a graph of their levels
Warehouse management
- Tracking the movement of materials from their purchase, use in production to sale.
- Records of the chemical composition and recovery of aluminum from stored raw materials.
- Automated estimation of the need to purchase raw materials for production
- Maintaining minimum inventory levels required for production.
- Incoming and outgoing quality control of deliveries, including measurement of chemical composition
- An embedded computer connected to VRPIS is connected to each scale in the plant, so the system maintains an up-to-date overview of inventory status.
- Printing of incoming and outgoing transport documents
- Printing product labels with a QR code with basic information and a link to a website with additional information (for example, chemical composition measured at the factory exit)
- support for external warehouse outside the plant
Production
- Production planning with regard to the status of input materials, production capacities and delivery times.
- Planning the recipe of input materials based on their chemical composition and yield and the required chemical composition of the output for metallurgical production
- Sending recipes to production control systems
- Continuous monitoring of the melting process and the chemical composition of the melt with possible recipe changes if necessary
- Monitoring of energy consumption with the possibility of comparing and evaluating their effective use
- Monitoring production costs (material, energy, workers, internal transports,..)
Comprehensive Transport
- Planning internal transport trips and arranging external forwarding transport.
- Automated processing of transport data from external GPS vehicle tracking
- Allocation of transportation costs into the price of products.
Accounting
- automatic generation of preliminary account records on warehouse movements, production, purchases and sales
- Tracking account turnover
- Export of preliminary account records to external accounting
- Import a list of incoming payments from the bank and automatically assign them to production, purchase and sales.
Reports, analysis, alerts
- Many reports about Production efficiency, trends
- Tracking and analysis of problems and errors to increase future production reliability
- Customer and supplier turnover
- Creation of documents for state administration (Intrastat, industrial production, waste management)
- SMS notifications about key production parameters to selected employees
- SMS notifications when an error, downtime or other monitored parameter occurs
Document Flow & Registry
- Records of received mail (email, regular mail)
- Scanning a paper receipt
- Electronic movement of documents between employees for review, acceptance and resolution
- Database of all incoming and outgoing documents with the ability to search and export them in pdf form
- Multi-level approval system for incoming invoices
