Sheet metal & metal
The engineering part revision leads to core production orders and operations. Workshop packs, quantities, start/pause, problems and quality remain connected to material, nests and delivery.

Production, Shop Floor & Machine Control Center
Operations, employees, machines, programs, cameras, faults, maintenance, priorities and quality prerequisites are brought together in the operational workflow. Employees see their work queue instead of five different systems.
Today
Today, production involves a lot of searching and asking around.
Information is scattered. Status is requested by phone, feedback is copied over by hand and faults are passed on verbally.
- Searching for programs, drawings and cutting lists
- Asking about order status and remaining quantities
- Transferring feedback from paper into the system
- Reporting faults verbally and documenting them afterwards
- Seeing utilization only in hindsight
Features
What the module covers.
▶
Operations
Take over, start, pause, hand over, skip – with rules and history.
▥
Workstations & Liveboard
Each area sees what is running, waiting, blocked or becoming important today.
⚙
Machine control center
Display status, program, runtime, part count, maintenance, timeline and activities centrally.
◉
Cameras
Integrate, test and display up to several camera positions per machine live.
⚠
Issues & escalations
Report, acknowledge, escalate and resolve faults and Andon alerts in a structured way.
↻
Maintenance & history
Maintain machine profiles, status history, utilization and maintenance in a traceable way.
In the product
Machines, programs and status in the same system.
Programs, orders, machine status and feedback stay directly linked to the project. Valid drawings, documents and approvals are managed by the Documents, Tasks & Approvals module.
Workflow
From intake to a controlled result.
01Work queueProvide matching tasks.
02Pre-checkCheck predecessors and approvals.
03HomeAssign employee/machine.
04ExecuteRecord status, time, issues.
05QA / handoverCheck result and pass it on.
06DoneSave event and history.
Human in the loop
This is where your team reviews and decides.
secondFactory prepares. At these points, a person confirms, corrects or deliberately approves – nothing slips through unnoticed.
✓
Pre-check before start
Predecessors, approvals, program and documents are checked before an operation starts.
✓
Confirm feedback
Quantities, remaining quantities and progress are confirmed or corrected by production.
✓
Assess issues
Faults and Andon alerts are acknowledged and escalated – your team decides on cause, priority and solution.
Your benefits
What improves day to day.
✓
Less searching
Order, machine and quality data in one place.
✓
More transparency
Status and bottlenecks visible in real time.
✓
Better handovers
Who did what and when remains traceable.
Time saved through less searchingHere you gain time mainly through less searching, asking around and transcribing. How large the effect is will be measured on the actual workflow during the process assessment.
Input & result
What goes in. What comes out.
Input sources
- Work queue from planning
- NC programs and setup packages from CAM
- Machine status, runtimes and part counts
- Camera images per machine
- Employee feedback
Results
- Status per operation: running, waiting, blocked
- Liveboard per area
- Machine control center with timeline
- Documented issues, escalations and maintenance
- Feedback for quality and cockpit
In the end-to-end process
Handovers without re-entry.
Before
Planning and CAM
Routings and resources from planning, programs from CAM & Machines.
This module
Production, Shop Floor & Machine Control Center
Control work where it happens.
After
Quality, warehouse and cockpit
Manufactured parts go to inspection and the warehouse, the status to the cockpit.
Process analysis / demo
Review production & machines against your real workflow.
In a process analysis, we take a typical order through your production – with your machines, documents and feedback.
Applied in your industry
One module. Your business’s engineering logic.
Wood & interiors
Cutting, edging, drilling and milling follow the approved design. Part occurrences and labels connect grouped production, packing, installation and later traceability.

The practice workflow manages design services and installation tasks. Handover and acceptance follow the contracted scope; manufacturing and inventory workflows apply where actual materials or components are involved.
