Innovation and collaborative, synchronized program management for new programs
Regardless of size, Mold Tool and Die Manufacturers are not immune to the same challenges facing most manufacturers operations and that is the need to address process complexity, product innovation, and manufacturing efficiencies. Our MES for Job Shop solution for the Mold, Tool and Die industry provides the ability to collect, aggregate, analyze, and display raw data to generate timely, actionable, in-context information by Integrating, contextualizing, and checking the accuracy of the data from the shop floor.

Today’s production processes and products are increasingly complex, global, and multifaceted; challenging many job shops to find methods to simplify and streamline processes while maintaining product quality. Digitization, smart manufacturing, predictive analytic tools, mobility, cloud computing, and new factories help drive growth but how to manage that growth effectively is the key to success. MES supports actionable insights and faster and more informed responses to process dynamics, product innovation, and supply chain dependencies for all job shops.
There is a clear relationship between MES use in Job shops and improvements in business results. Companies using MES are more likely to report annual efficiency increases in a number of areas. These include manufacturing cycle times, labor and inventory costs, and improved quality. The total manufacturing process will be “smarter” and more connected, with intuitive software solutions that predict outcomes, anticipate needs, and provide tools to make fact-based, decisions with speed and accuracy.
Our solution provides job shops the ability to combine production efficiency with quality and visibility, as well as production optimization, ultimately resulting in higher manufacturing responsiveness and an increased competitive advantage.
Explore the key areas of this solution.
Define and manage data collections for incoming, in-process and final inspection processes.
Drive production according to customer orders and handle work order changes with work order sequencing and execution based on dispatching rules.
Display of Electronic Work Instruction through textual, graphical, video, symbolic and reference documentation.
Minimize risk and increase quality by defining and manage operators who need to be working in production areas and enforce that only trained operators are the ones that are completing certain activities.
Define and manage tool maintenance requirements and enforce the right tools that are qualified are the ones that are used.
Provide a complete product and process work order history to help define and manage storage locations for material tracking; Enforce time limits.
Maximize manufacturing efficiency by leveraging detailed scheduling based on predefined rules identified at the work order or operations level.
Leverage dynamic scorecards and dashboards to visualize and react to operational KPI’s in real-time.
Add plant-specific complementary engineering information to the Bill-of-Production to support shop floor issues with standard rework processes.
