Production Manager for CAD/CAM Nesting Software
February 1, 2022
Hypertherm offers Production Manager, an optional module for its ProNest advanced CAD/CAM nesting software. This web-based module is designed to improve productivity, maximize machine up-time, boost on-time delivery and increase material utilization.
Production Manager seamlessly integrates with Hypertherm's EDGE Connect CNC to automatically capture machine data without the need for operator intervention. It displays real-time production data so team members across an organization can track the status of job orders, the production schedule and pending inventory requirements.
Additional features include:
- Dashboard view: Intuitive dashboard view provides production stats and trends in one view. Color-coded status alerts help users quickly understand the on-screen information while an interactive display allows users to drill down for additional insight.
- Real-time information: Real-time machine data from the CNC is transferred to Production Manager. This enables users to track job progress from pending, to in-production, to actual completion time, making it easier to respond to customer inquiries and forecast the production schedule.
- Flexible intervention: Cancel or hold orders to add or remove parts based on last-minute changes. Users can view machine backlogs and ensure loads are evenly distributed across cutting machines in a way that optimizes the production schedule.
- Remote access: Makes it easy for users to access Production Manager via a computer, mobile phone or tablet anytime and anywhere users have a secured network or VPN connection.
"Production Manager takes the guesswork out of an organization's daily operation by connecting everyone to the same information, in real-time, to drive business cohesion and continuity," said Tom Stillwell, Product Marketing Manager for Hypertherm software products. "Production Manager is also a great example of how Hypertherm hardware and software products work together to provide customers with new levels of automation and efficiency, something that is increasingly important as companies move toward a more digital shop floor. Production Manager further extends ProNest's reach across organizations by interfacing with all aspects of the cutting operation, including sales, customer service, procurement and management."
