Welcome to Raseel Advanced Manufacturing
Raseel Advanced Manufacturing (Raseel AM) plans and runs long production orders in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central (BC) from one screen: planning, shop floor, scheduling, material consumption, labor, quality holds and MRP.
It is built for orders that run two to three months, with bills of material of 1,000+ lines, such as machines assembled in bays.
Users work only in the app; they never sign in to BC. The app talks to a .NET backend, and the backend reads and writes BC through the custom API extension. Every action in the app (release, consume, clock out, finish) is posted in BC, so BC stays the system of record.
The pages
The sidebar on the left groups the pages into Plan, Run and Set up.
