Software for Shopfloor Management

Digital Shopfloor Management

Classic on-site management was yesterday, today it is all about shopfloor automations and shopfloor digitization. This offers a wide range of new potentials within the era of industry 4.0. The digitization of a shopfloor can positively affect the productivity within a production as well as enhance transparency throughout the processes.

Be one step ahead of the competition with shopfloor automations

The utilization of machines is an important topic in industry. Digitization offers manufacturing companies the opportunity to optimize their processes and reduce machine downtimes. The TDM shopfloor management software is a central element of a networked production. It delivers tools and data to the right machine at the right time.

TDM digitizes the shopfloor

Many different systems are involved in the completion of a workpiece: ERP, PLM/CAD, FMS/MES applications and the machine itself. The TDM software connects the individual links in the production chain and secures an end-to-end data flow – shopfloor automation guaranteed.

The shopfloor management software facilitates more efficient production by:

scheduling and preparing the tool assemblies for each order in advance
calculating tool usage
creating lists of required tools and
considering the tool stock on the machine

Another advantage: The data from the machine flows back into the TDM database. This helps improve the workflows of subsequent orders. Thanks to the continuous process of improvements, Tool Data Management develops into Tool Lifecycle Management.
