✓ Growing BOMs
Multi-level BOMs grow alongside engineering progress and automatically synchronize with production and procurement
✓ Revision Control
Versioning and management of all design changes, assembly modifications, and configuration updates throughout the entire lifecycle
✓ Production Planning in Real-Time
Scheduling includes available machines, setup times, and materials for maximum accuracy
✓ CAD/CAM Integration
Seamless connection of drawings, models, and programs to items and operations
✓ Long-Term Forecast
Planning and forecasting tools for extended project durations and recurring assemblies
✓ Project Planning
Integrated timeline, cost, and resource planning with real-time tracking of milestones, dependencies, and delivery dates
Toolmaking
This module orchestrates the planning, production, and maintenance of high-precision tools, molds, and fixtures with integrated process control, material planning, and quality assurance. It provides full transparency and traceability from design to delivery, ensuring efficient and profitable toolmaking projects.
.
✓ Serial Numbers for Samples and Molds
Ensure unique labeling of every sample, mold, and tool component to enable complete traceability from production through operational use
