When exporting production data from Steel Projects PLM, it is automatically converted into programs that can be executed by CNC machines. These programs can be for parts or nesting, but also for automatic conveyors to move parts from one machine to another.
Being Steel Projects’ main historic know-how, the creation of programs for CNC machines is a critical aspect for optimizing production in your company. It ensures to send data directly executables by post processors and then limits the manual operations by operators.
Those programs take into account all the potential adjustments that have been made on pieces and the actual capacities of the machines available. It is a dramatic added value compared to importing the DSTV exported from the detailing software as it guarantees a seamless launching of production on CNC machines. Operators can then benefit from that time saving to work on other jobs in masked times.
The programs created know the required tools for each operation and the post processors will execute accordingly.
The WinCN is the name of the post processors that we supply for Ficep CNC machines. They ensure a seamless execution of desired steel fabrication programs.
Those files are the ones created for post processors coming from all machine producers. Since most fabricators are equipped with machines acquired from different suppliers, we can integrate with them easily.
Barcode systems can be installed on machines to run the programs even more seamlessly.
Steel Projects PLM takes into account the workflows for each piece. If you are equipped with automatic conveyors, that information can then be included in the programs created to route them automatically from one machine to the next one.
The advanced integration that we have with CNC machines allows to collect production feedback automatically. Once processed, that information allow to track piece live in the shop floors, as well as track operations for traceability purposes. Collecting production times will also allow to analyze productivity easily.
Our long experience in steel fabrication has allowed us to integrate with many different machines, whether they are Ficep machines or not. In case we do not know yet some of your machines, we can develop the required post-processors to automatically connect with them.
