Factory Manager is a specialized software solution designed for centralized management of tool data, tool locations, and essential manufacturing information. It bridges the gap between the office and the shop floor, ensuring seamless data flow and enhanced production efficiency.
Feature
-
Centralized Manufacturing Information Management:
Manage all essential production data, including NC programs, drawings, setup sheets, and even external documents (Excel/Word) in one secure, accessible location on your PC
-
Seamless Data Transfer & Tool Offset:
- Seamless NC Program Exchange: Supports bidirectional transfer of NC programs between PCs and CNC machines directly via a network system.
- Error-Free Tool Offset Transfer: Connects with Tool Presetter to automatically send measured values to CNC machines. This eliminates manual data entry errors (Poka-yoke), reduces downtime, and maximizes actual cutting time.
-
Smart Tool Management :
-
Individual Tool Management: Link tool data directly to specific workpieces or production processes. Access comprehensive details at a glance, including holder models, cutter types, and projection lengths.
-
Standardization: Standardize tool assembly patterns (Holder + Cutter) to ensure consistency across the shop floor. This reduces confusion, minimizes errors, and simplifies the search for the correct tools.
-
Tool & Jig Location Tracking: Track the real-time location of tools and jigs—whether they are on a specific machine or a storage rack. This significantly reduces searching time and improves overall workflow efficiency.
-
-
Machine Operation Monitoring
- Real-time Machine Status Mapping: Monitor the operational status of every machine across the entire factory floor in real-time through an intuitive visual map.
- Instant Email Notifications: Stay informed with automated email alerts triggered by machine alarms, unexpected downtime, or when tools reach the end of their service life.
Benefits
-
Maximize Machine Uptime: Reduce setup time and in-machine measurement requirements, allowing your machines to spend more time on value-added production and increasing profitability.
-
Zero-Error Precision: Eliminate the risk of using incorrect tools or entering wrong offset values with our Tool ID System. Supports both Tool IC Code (RFID) and 2D Code (ID Label/DPM) for reliable tool identification.
-
Significant Tool Cost Savings: Optimize your inventory and prevent overstocking with a clear tracking system for tool history and stock levels.
-
Overcome Labor Shortages: By digitizing expert knowledge into a structured database, mid-level or new employees can perform setup tasks accurately and efficiently, ensuring seamless operational continuity.
