Data Collection / Job Allocation / Job Scheduling

Each machine on our shop floor staff has a dedicated user PC next to it. The PC’s runs our bespoke, in house designed and developed, ERP/MRP management software that is networked across the entire building. The system gives the engineers a real time view of schedule of work, and enables us to collect real time data fed back from the shop floor. Document distribution is much more efficient and always up to date, and at the latest issue. The operators dashboard keeps them informed of quality alerts, drawing changes, KPI’s and any other useful historical data relating to the job they are working on.

Setting Sheets and existing CNC programs are stored on the database for use at a later date. We are working to become 100% paperless in the very near future. The implementation of real time data collection from our engineers has enabled us to develop extremely complex machine capacity scheduling algorithms which enable efficient and robust scheduling of shop floor capacity. Document flow is now even more reliable and gives customers confidence all required information is to flowed down correctly, including to our supply chain.

Our software continually evolves and we have full time developers working on additions, changes and enhancements.
