S.WOP – S.oftware for Wire Optimized Production
S.WOP – S.oftware for Wire Optimized ProductionThe software solution S.WOP takes over the planning and monitoring of all wire processing machines. S.WOP extracts data from the order management system (e.g. ERP) and compiles consistent orders. These are grouped according to the best workflow principle and assigned to individual machines. In particular this enables clients with various order volumes and small batch sizes to produce more efficiently and to have access to relevant production- and machine data. Your benefits Administration work and intermediate storage are reduced by S.WOP. Even surpluses are eliminated due to demand-driven manufacturing. Raw material and machine capacities are used to their optimum capacities. Bar code scanning has consigned set-up errors to history. By process control users are encouraged to capture measurement values according to specified rules and to adhere to tolerances. Tooling maintenance thresholds are also monitored. Process transparency Low paper production Production monitoring Reduced lead times Increased productivity Raw material and machine capacities are fully utilizedThe technical options are specified in detail in the machine administration and this is used to check whether the machine is appropriate for an order. Not only new orders are taken into consideration but also those which have already been assigned to a machine. If faults arise orders are reassigned. The system recognizes downtime through the machine administration. These orders are then assigned to other machines in the next optimization process.Achieving the objective with less effort Kanban enables demand-driven manufacturing. This means that stocks of semifinished goods are reduced thereby ensuring required stocks are available at the right time. Kanban orders are generated automatically by the system when booking parts out of stock. The number of these orders is determined automatically from the current inventory stock, the weekly requirement and the security stock.Transparent ProductionThe set-up parameters for all operating equipment are specified in the machine administration for each machine connected to S.WOP. A Gantt Diagram visualizes the result and graphically displays the spread and sequencing of orders with their duration via a timeline. The tooling administration logs all tooling movements in a long-term archive and enhances the data with information on equipment use and its wear and tear. S.WOP records the production process together with the serial and batch numbers of the materials deployed together with inventory numbers of tools used. Quality assurance measures are directly integrated into the process.
