智能工厂——多种方式，一位经验丰富的合作伙伴

»Calculating jobs is a complex task as so many factors need to be considered. I have to do this with minimal effort, making sure that the system is aligned with my customer data in the ERP system.«

»Transferring the offer data from the ERP system into an order is a process prone to mistakes. Automating this process would save me both time and errors.«

»In order to better plan new incoming orders, an overview of the current production status would be helpful. This also has the advantage that customers can be informed as soon as their order is completed.«

»The more complicated the design and the more individual parts I program, the more complex the nesting becomes. Thanks to automation the amount of waste could be drastically reduced.«

»It would be extremely practical to be able to use the same software both online at the machine and offline in the office. By that, my programmers would be able to seamlessly switch between both worlds – without having to learn two software systems.«

»I need a better way of managing my inventory, capturing which material has come in, what has been used and what has been ordered. A warning that my store has reached its minimum level would be helpful, especially if materials were then ordered automatically from our regular suppliers.«

»It is often difficult to plan accurately as I have no overview of the individual machine capacity, which is a challenge when rush jobs come in.«

»As a production controller I need to be able to put in the capacity requirements based on detailed scheduling. By that, operational and non-operational periods can be taken into account. The depiction of overloaded capacity and the machine status helps me to detect and avoid bottle necks.«

»We need to transition from a push to a pull production model, where we work with lower inventory levels, shorter delivery times and less planning effort.«

»Customers always want to know the status of their order. Has it started, is it completed, when will it be shipped? It would be extremely helpful to be able to track every step of the production process.«

»To make sure that orders are shipped efficiently, I need to have an overview of which orders are ready to ship and where they are to be found.«

»Creating shipping documents costs me a lot of time and effort, especially finding all the relevant data from various sources such as customer account numbers, shipping addresses, customs numbers, pricing, and details for the shipping carrier.«

»f I automatically saw the cutting times, I could factor them into the cost planning for individual pieces.«

»To ensure that the machines are running at full capacity, I need a reliable overview of all the jobs that need to be produced.«

»I have to be able to identify weak spots, based upon systematically captured data about stoppages, breakdowns and downtimes.«

»Be it loading, unloading, sorting or disposing – material handling takes too much time. In order to increase efficiency, this process should be automated.«

»If I can get an overview of the production status, then it is far easier to plan in the new jobs that arrive and let customers know when their work will be ready.«

»An accurate worklist with an overview of all the manual activities to be completed would be a great help in tracking progress.«

»I have to be able to check the order status from any location at any time.«

»Now I can track the location of my order and parts at any time.«

»Quick posting of inward stock is just one advantage of automated raw material storage. I can also transfer orders of material input from the ERP system so that inventory data does not need to renewed.«

»Optimal handling of stock movements can be a real headache. In order to meet deadlines, transport orders for the machines must be optimized. The ideal solution is automated material handling.«
