Streamline complex manufacturing processes and improve productivity by integrating Katana with JIKKO.


What is JIKKO?

JIKKO is a Manufacturing Execution System (MES) developed by OPALYTICA. It acts as a digital twin platform, helping manufacturers optimize production workflows, reduce costs, and boost efficiency.

With real-time data collection, advanced analytics, and AI-driven insights, JIKKO can increase productivity by up to 30%.

When connected to Katana, the integration ensures smooth data synchronization and more efficient manufacturing operations.


What the integration enables

By connecting Katana with JIKKO, you can:

  • Push data from Katana to JIKKO, including:

    • Manufacturing orders (MOs)

    • Bills of Materials (BOMs) with variants and material details

    • Items (materials and finished products)

  • Create and manage operation routes in JIKKO

    • Operations and statuses stay in sync with Katana

    • BOM consumption is based on real-time material availability

  • Sync order statuses back to Katana

    • Completed operations in JIKKO update material consumption and MO status in Katana


Connecting JIKKO to Katana

  1. Get access

    • Contact JIKKO to create an account and request a free 1-month trial.

  2. Configure the integration

    • In JIKKO, go to Master Data Management > ERP connections.

    • Find and authorize your Katana account.

      Master Data Management > ERP connections inside of JIKKO

  3. Start syncing data

    • Once authorized, begin configuring which data to import (items, BOMs, or MOs).

That’s it — Katana is now connected to JIKKO and ready for data exchange.


How the integration works

  • Data import: Push items, BOMs, and MOs from Katana to JIKKO.

  • Production workflows: Build BOMs and operation routes in JIKKO to visualize and manage production.

  • Status sync: Once operations are completed in JIKKO, MO statuses and material consumption are updated back in Katana automatically.
