Sunseeker powers up production with AlphaCAM
Installing Licom AlphaCAM to link its CAD with a CNC wood panel routing and profiling system has resulted in massive factory lead time savings on yacht panel work for Sunseeker International.
AlphaCIM Lite's library module enables companies' standard component information to be stored, used to build up an order and then transferred directly to Licom's AlphaCAM programming system, opening the way for the automated production of families of parts, such as fascia doors, fabricated doors and window units.
In addition, the system provides close integration with the company's AlphaSTAIR, AlphaDOOR and AlphaWINDOOR design-to-manufacturing applications.
Easily applied and available in all major languages, AlphaCIM Lite delivers important time and cost savings through the automation of key business processes.
It also eliminates the need for duplicated data entry - with its associated risks of keying errors - while simultaneously minimising unnecessary paperwork.
AlphaCIM Lite is suitable for companies who need help in processing and tracking order information and is supplied complete with four days consultancy, enabling progressive organisations to take the first step towards realising the full potential of their manufacturing capabilities.
Rollout will initially take place in the UK, followed by Europe and, at a later stage, throughout the world.
