APS
Pain Point
- Reasonable allocation of resources for manufacturing is a challenge for traditional mold manufacturers.
- Difficult to capture material status, resource status, and task status at real time for continuous planning.
- Estimated mold delivery date is from experience and may not be realistic.
CIMFORCE Solution
Work Time Estimation Mechanism
- 3D CAPP to collect geometrical information for major operations.
- Update estimated work time after related CAM tasks are done.
- Collects actual machining time through machining monitoring for future analysis.
Comprehensive Consideration
of Analysis Factors
of Analysis Factors
- Defines machine groups based on machine types, machining precision, maximum workpiece size, etc.
- Factory calendar.
- Individual personnel calendar.
- Machine maintenance Calendar.
- Material purchase/ receiving status.
Optimized Scheduling
Process
Process
- Supports to set priority, estimated start time, estimated due date of mold or individual workpiece.
- Captures remaining manufacturing task information to schedule. Supports to remove molds or individual workpiece from scheduling list.
- Using advanced scheduling software as computing engine to generate optimized scheduling result.
