Integrated Modules & Business Processes
To get and keep a complete overview of imported orders and reservations – easy and fast - during the step of production planning and –preperation is the most important. Based on that you can create and manage production jobs which make sense.
Functionalities and Benefits
- Utilization of views thanks to open data base and easy view concept
- Display of every necessarry information in different information levels
- Creation of production jobs by complete orders, items or parts possible
The A+W Production Detailed Scheduling allows you to organize and control the glass flow through the shop floor. Avoid resorting after a process step, save room for racks, make the stacking of glass onto racks easier.
Functionalities and Benefits
- Assignement of lites to glass stacks -> onto A-racks and harp racks
- Determiniation of production- and cutting sequence
- Printout of rack preparation lists and sorting lists
- Management of production flows and multistep production
- Predefined „Organizations“ based on 40 years global production experience
By considering the defined production sequences and optimization parameters (e.g. grinding allowances and breakout trims for shapes) A+W Production calculates the best yield possible.
Functionalities and Benefits
- Yield Optimization based on latest algorithms
- Consideration of sequence from sequence optimization and / or A+W Rack Optimizer
- Manual adding of shapes possible
- Manual editing of optimization parameters possible (trims, x / y direction, costs for z-cuts …)
- Nesting of shapes (Add-on A+W Shape Optimizer)
Extensions for A+W Production
