Production
|
|
A manufacturing plant with the latest equipment is only half way to achieving maximum output. Windowmaker can provide the co-ordinating link between office and shopfloor procedures, realising the full benefits of factory automation, reducing human error and ensuring a smooth and efficient workflow. An extensive list of production modules is available, all of which help to minimise wastage, maximise capacity and streamline processes.
|
The "batch" is the basis for Windowmaker's production facilities. A batch is either defined via Scheduling or via Batching.
|
Production Sequencing
|
For the larger manufacturer, the batch can be sorted and divided into sub-batches using Sub-batching
|
The profiles (and reinforcement) within the batch or sub-batch can then be optimised....
.... with optional re-use of offcuts....
.... and pairing of profiles for cutting on a 2-track saw.

Production Documentation
|
A variety of documents can be used.
The following reports will be in frame sequence, which may be determined by Sub-batching.
The following reports will be in optimised sequence, where appropriate.

Production Grouping
|
|
Multiple frame production processes can be grouped and run through a single dialogue.
Complex projects can be managed efficiently by splitting them into Phases.
