Epicor Connected Process Control (CPC) is a flexible no-code/low-code MES and manufacturing operations platform that helps manufacturers standardize production and assembly processes, improve quality, and increase visibility across the shop floor.
Using digital work instructions with multimedia content, manufacturers can guide operators through critical tasks, enforce process control, and improve consistency across products, workstations, and production lines.
CPC connects equipment and devices to collect production and quality data in real time, helping manufacturers identify issues faster, reduce waste, and support continuous improvement.
CPC provides product traceability with a complete historical record of each product's build and inspection history. Manufacturers use CPC to support assembly verification, error proofing, quality inspections, operator guidance, and other connected manufacturing initiatives.
For manufacturers with complex product variations, CPC can dynamically present the correct work instructions based on the product or configuration being built, helping ensure products are assembled accurately and consistently.
Available on-premises or in the cloud, CPC scales from a single work cell to enterprise-wide deployments.

Graphical Documentation (GDOC)
Optel's Graphical Documentation (GDOC) offers a digital solution for graphical work instructions related to box-build, circuit assembly, rework, and QA inspection, eliminating the need for paper. This innovative system enables the assignment of assembly instructions and various multimedia elements at both the component and assembly levels. Users can incorporate diverse content such as text, images, videos, documents, and hyperlinks, all while benefiting from a graphical editor designed for engineers and a viewer tailored for operations, with all instructions securely stored in the Optel database. The tool supports a hierarchical Bill of Materials (BOM), facilitating the creation of work instructions for complex product assemblies that may include multiple circuit assemblies or subassemblies. Moreover, GDOC encompasses the entire manual assembly process, from scheduling and line balancing to generating targeted documents for each operator on the assembly line. It also offers flexibility, allowing customers to adopt GDOC for a single manual station or to oversee and manage several manual assembly lines simultaneously, making it a versatile choice for various manufacturing needs. This adaptability ensures that GDOC can meet the specific requirements of each operation efficiently.
