About

Epicor Connected Process Control (CPC) is a flexible no-code/low-code MES and manufacturing operations platform that helps manufacturers improve quality, consistency, and visibility across production and assembly operations. Create digital work instructions with multimedia content, guide operators through critical tasks, connect equipment and devices across the shop floor, and capture production and quality data without extensive programming. CPC provides product traceability with a complete historical record of each product's build and inspection history. Real-time insights into quality, performance, defects, rework, and production trends help teams identify issues faster, reduce waste, and support continuous improvement. Manufacturers use CPC to standardize production and assembly processes, improve operator consistency, and support assembly verification, error proofing, quality inspections, and production monitoring across the shop floor. Whether deployed in a single work cell, across multiple production lines, or enterprise-wide, CPC scales to support manufacturers of all sizes. Available on-premises or in the cloud, it adapts to your operational requirements and manufacturing processes.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Documents,training and quality all link up together. Has the ability to create custom web forms to meet the specific needs of the company. It enables business process workflow.
  • - The best feature is definitely the fact that this is a web based tool that stores everything in the cloud and has no system dependency.

Cons

  • Such function is good but simple searches can turn up too many unnecessary results.
  • The UI can definitely be further simplified to remove unnecessary buttons that might confuse the uninitiated. Currently, it's also a bit difficult to get help information from the UI.

Epicor Connected Process Control (CPC) helps discrete manufacturers improve process control across production and assembly operations. Using digital work instructions, operator guidance, assembly verification, error proofing, and real-time data collection, CPC helps organizations standardize processes, improve product quality, increase visibility, and reduce variation. By connecting people, equipment, and production data, manufacturers can ensure critical processes are executed consistently while supporting traceability and continuous improvement initiatives.

Connected Worker Supported

Epicor Connected Process Control (CPC) helps manufacturers connect workers, processes, equipment, and production data in a single platform. Through digital work instructions, operator guidance, process control, and real-time feedback, CPC provides workers with the information they need to perform tasks accurately and consistently. Integration with shop floor technologies such as barcode readers, torque tools, gauges, webcams, PLCs, printers, and other connected devices helps enforce standardized processes while capturing critical production and quality data. By connecting people and technology at every stage of production and assembly, CPC helps manufacturers improve quality, reduce errors, accelerate training, support traceability, and drive continuous improvement.

Industrial IoT Supported

Epicor Connected Process Control (CPC) helps manufacturers connect people, equipment, and production processes through a flexible Industrial IoT platform. CPC integrates with shop floor devices such as torque tools, gauges, barcode readers, printers, webcams, PLCs, and other connected equipment to capture production and quality data in real time. Combined with digital work instructions, operator guidance, and process control capabilities, CPC helps manufacturers improve visibility, support product traceability, reduce errors, and standardize operations. By bringing together device data and operator workflows, manufacturers can make faster decisions, improve quality, and support connected manufacturing initiatives across the shop floor.
