GPS vs. First Resonance ION Factory OS

GPS is made up of APS (Advanced Planning System) & SCM (Supply Chain Management) and is used for planning of materials and resources with finite capacity, production scheduling & collaboration with suppliers and contractors. GPS highlights objectives that cannot be reached in time, the extent of the delay and all the events that contribute to generating problems.

ION is the manufacturing platform for builders of complex, cutting-edge hardware. It connects your people, processes, and parts across the factory with live data, agentic AI, and traceability, so you can move faster from R&D to full-scale production. Unlike legacy MES or ERP systems, ION is built to handle frequent design changes, high-mix production, and real-time decision-making. From dynamic scheduling to actionable analytics, ION helps your team operate with the speed, precision, and agility that modern manufacturing demands.
