Question: How do we keep track of thousands of different parts and ensure that each is manufactured on the best possible sequence of machines and tools and at the optimal time slot?
Answer: With a highly skilled workforce who is able to master best-of-breed information technology tailor-made for our manufacturing purposes. Random High Bay Storage AreaOur automated random high-bay storage area operates with thousands of bar coded containers, enabling us to retrieve your products, raw materials or semi-machined parts just-in-time for when you require your next consignment of precision manufactured parts from us. Machine and Business Data Acquisition (MDE/BDE)This system enables us to be in complete control of our manufacturing and control processes, identify bottlenecks and improve manufacturing efficiency.
At the click of a mouse, our staff are able to - view our entire range of CNC machines
- obtain a snapshot of the current manufacturing operation
- generate statistical information for further business and technical analysis
DynaPark DynaPark is our custom-tailored time scheduling system. Orders are visualised as series of bar charts representing individual work stages. Order execution is thus driven directly off the system, eliminating need for paper documentation. Live feedback of progress is provided via barcode readers installed at workplaces, and can be monitored instantly on DynaPark terminals.
To mention but a few of the benefits for you: - Near-instant order processing and scheduling
- Capacity planning and load-balancing on all machines and work places
- Creation of realistic forecast scenarios regarding delivery dates
- Continuous monitoring of actual order progress versus target progress
- Ability to re-schedule, prioritise and accelerate individual orders by drag-and-drop
E-business SolutionsYou want your orders dealt with instantly and reliably? So do we.
Seamless integration of our IT systems enables us to receive many orders electronically. Without need for human intervention, these orders are fed straight through into our IT systems for projection planning (such as material sourcing) and are then scheduled for manufacturing via DynaPark.
If required, we will install client-based consignment stores that are supplied by us just-in-time through e-business solutions.
Of course, we are able to process your drawings directly using 3-D CAD software packages such as ProEngineer. |
