The creation of process documentation for use on the shop floor – including setup sheets, operations sequence information and tool lists – is often a time consuming and manual task.

Siemens PLM Software NX CAM automatically generates shop documentation and outputs it in a range of formats, including ASCII text or HTML Web format, ready for printing or direct browser viewing on the shop floor. Documentation is easily customized using excel templates.

With this capability, shop documentation can be easily updated to reflect your latest changes.

The Part Planner links the tasks of the manufacturing engineer, NC programmer, tool designer in a managed environment. As a key benefit it provides controlled access to the right part manufacturing data, at the right time, for the right people, and supports the transfer of configured data to the shop floor.
