Tool organisation on shopfloor level with the TDM Shopfloor Manager
Our software module includes a large number of functions that will also help optimise your shopfloor and its processes:
Shopfloor Designer
- The Shopfloor Designer configures the individual tool data flow in the individual shopfloor areas
- TDM provides a number of ready-made software operations, which result in status-led process control of the tool circulation
Demand calculation
- Tool provision is based on the tool requirements of the machines
- The software module enters the calculated tool requirements in a pick list
- ERP or MES systems transfer the production orders via interfaces
- The unloading list displays tools that are no longer needed on the machine
- The shopfloor organization records externally generated demand lists in parallel and processes these further as pick lists
- Standard interfaces to production control systems of various manufacturers are used to transfer the demand lists
Shopfloor navigation
- The Shopfloor Navigator generates the scope of functions and the operator processes from the configuration
- The Shopfloor Manager Global Line depicts the work areas as cost centers, whereby the module activates the operations for provision of tools executed in this based on status
- Users can distribute individual areas, such as crib/assembly and presetting, to various workplaces, as well as merging these in a Tool Room
Integration of machines (optional)
- The Shopfloor Manager considers real machine stocks and conditions of the tools, which helps with tool planning
- Optional integration of suitable subsystems and machines
- Reliable transfer of tool data (tool offsets)
- Demand planning considers the real remaining tool life or conditions of the tools, which facilitates optimum tool life management
- Automated operations, such as requests for Duplo tools and ad-hoc provision on the machine, simplify processes on the shopfloor
