DESCRIPTION

A production management and monitoring system with an industrial network interface option for logging data from machines in real time using bar codes.

SICim is a highly valid system for optimizing and managing the production process. This system enables company resources to be used to the full as well as identifying any situations that are unproductive or critical. It also monitors production progress by tracking in real time the position of every piece and checking costs and production times by comparing current data with past company experience and simultaneously updating company archives.

SICIM has three available levels of integration. Firstly as an independent tool for monitoring production. Secondly when integrated with SICAM it automatically divides the overall sheet metal machining times into the various individual job orders. And thirdly when combined with SICAM and SICAD, it provides a continuous information flow between design, programming and production. Equipped with all the elements needed to automate operations to the full, SICIM can also be connected to company operating and accounting systems.

Archives

SICIM brings together all the information and data needed by a company to manage the flow of production information. SICIM offers all this in an integrated structure that is also indispensable for supervising all the various other procedures regarding:

• Customers / Suppliers
• Article details
• Product classes
• Machining processes
• Machines
• Employees

Order management

From the original estimate to the customer’s order and from the elimination of warehouse stocks to internal production orders and updated monitoring of the order situation in terms of received, cancelled and invoiced orders.

• Rapid estimate service
• Customer order log

Production

As the basic company parts list is closely integrated with machining cycles and machining estimate times, orders and work sheets can be created quickly and efficiently.

• Parts List /machining cycle
• Production orders

Logging

Real time production time and cost calculations as well as comprehensive and continuous company resource monitoring.

• Workshop activity logging via a sensor network

Costing

Thanks to a detailed analysis of the entire production process, comparisons can be made between Estimated and Effective Costs and Estimated and Effective Production Times and the relative yield of company resources.

• Time/cost monitoring
• Original estimate/effective costs
