Demand for optimisation in contract manufacturing
Industrial methods of production control/CAPSC have entered into the everyday business of craftsmanship. Contract manufacturing and serial production have been distinguished for a long time now and even with a lot size of one, there is a need for optimization down to the level of construction parts.
Capacity and Resource Planning
Scheduling of cleared orders poses another major challenge. You will only be able to keep an overview over a large number of orders with a comprehensive capacity and resource-planning tool. With this, you can decide how detailed your planning will be. Alignment of the actual data with your plans is a matter of course.
Transferring orders to machines
Your orders have to be produced as well. Connections to pre-cut saws, CNC machining centers and edge banding machines are possible directly from profacto.
Analyzing machine utilzsation and materials consumption
One outstanding feature is that your production data is also fed back into profacto again: This includes machine utilization times - including ECS - as well as materials consumption. Production control comes full circle and you get the control you need without having to wander around in your workshop.
