GE Fanuc Intelligent Platforms this week rolled out a new version of its Proficy Tracker manufacturing execution application, a mainstay of the company’s Production Management suite.

Version 7.5 adds an order execution layer and the ability to handle high-speed assembly in discrete environments. It is the first enhancement to 7.0, which the company unveiled last year, the company said.
