Where, when and how? - all done in real time

Software system informs the user in real time, about the status of any part or group of parts: pending, nested or finished, showing all the jobs and parts in the database.

A big problem that many companies have to face is not being able to view the status of the work being done during the different stages of the production process.

Imagine a particular job, for example, consisting of 200 or 300 parts, and imagine that the specific status of any of the parts could be seen at a glance.

Imagine all the parts of the same thickness could be nested on the same plate, even though they belonged to different manufacturing orders.

Well, do not just imagine but see it for yourself!.

Lantek has a solution to all these problems.

And the name of the solution is Lantek Expert II Advanced.

In one single product, Lantek has included three different solutions: the power of its prestigious CAD/CAM system Lantek Expert II (cutting and punching); the basic production management and control system; Lantek Expert III Fabrication Basic; and Lantek Wos, for nesting tracking.

The main benefit of this new product is to inform the user in real time, about the status of any part or group of parts: pending, nested or finished.

When the user enters the program a screen appears showing all the jobs and parts in the database.

The display can even be customised for greater efficiency in accordance with the user's specific needs.

The production management and control module Lantek Expert III Fabrication Basic allows the user to select the parts that will go to the CAM module for nesting.

Parts with similar material/thickness can also be nested together.

Compatible and flexible - Lantek Expert II Advanced is totally compatible with external ERP systems.

All the data needed for carrying out a fabrication order in the Lantek CAM module can be imported and exported using an XML importer.

The user can change from Lantek Expert III Fabrication Basic module to the CAM module with a simple mouse click, and the same applies to changing from the CAM to the nesting tracking module Lantek Wos.

With this system, the production manager distributes the workload to be carried out on each work center from his office, and this is then displayed on-screen to the operator on the shop floor.

The operator starts up the process by pressing the Start button in the order indicated to him by the producction manager.

The operator can also track production time and record any incidence occurred during the process.

Benefits: * Real time information about the status of a particular job: pending, nested or finished.

* Estimated time and real production time can be compared.

* Real integration with the nesting module of Lantek Expert Cut and Punch systems.

* A two-way connection with external ERP's can be established for either importing or exporting information.

* The profitability of each machine can be monitored by tracking the nature of the most common incidences, frequency of machine stops, etc.

* The system allows parts to be released and returned to the production module if it is confirmed that they do not fit into a plate.

And there is no need to enter all the data again for the specific job.

* The display can be customised so that information or product lines are shown according to the selected criteria.

* This new product puts an end to paperwork on the shop floor.

Guaranteed.

* Parts with the same material, thickness and quality can be nested together on the same plate, allowing selective nestings and achieving much better use of material.

* Lantek Expert II Advanced shows the workload in the different work centres allowing a more efficient job scheduling.
