Production management is what turns an order into commands for the shop floor. The service prepares machine programs itself and keeps the raw-material warehouse under control: your shop receives ready jobs and accurate stock rather than a pile of drawings to “figure out yourself”.
Ready machine programs
The system generates CNC programs for cutting, drilling and routing and the files to load straight onto the machines — the operator only has to start. See “Generating CNC programs”, “Generating a CNC cutting program”, “Programs for machine tools”, “CNC file download program” and “How to download the loader”.
Tailored to your equipment and postprocessors
The programs are built for the specific machines: their postprocessors, operation types, tools and diameters are taken into account — what one machine can do and another cannot. See “CNC postprocessors”, “Machines”, “Machine tools” and “Diameter and the company’s drilling tools”. The whole export section is “Export”.
Raw-material warehouse under control
The service runs the warehouse: receiving sheets, tracking remainders by cell, write-off and return, reservation for a customer — and offcuts go back into cutting rather than into the bin. See “Receiving sheet stock into the warehouse”, “Factory stock”, “Moving a remainder to another cell”, “Writing off a remainder and returning it”, “Reserving a remainder for a customer” and “Using remainders in cutting”. Sections — “Warehouse: receiving remainders” and “Inventory”.
The bottom line: the shop works from ready programs and the raw material is fully accounted for — fewer defects from manual errors, less material lost, an even load on the equipment.
