A+W Production
EVERYTHING PERFECTLY PLANNED AND OPTIMIZED
The latest improvements within capacity planning and scheduling such as campaign planning, simplified rescheduling possibilities, and improved scheduling algorithms have expanded A+W Production’s functions and simplified the daily business of production management and work preparation.
Functionalities and Benefits
- Production planning and control by various restrictions (machines, process sequence … )
- Job management using predefined and self-defined views thanks to open database & views
- Yield optimization by state of the art optimization kernel
- Sequence optimization, rack and stacking organization and optimization
- Optimization directly onto racks and boxes in despatch sequence (Add-On A+W Rack Optimizer)
- Cutting plan visualization and modification
- Easy machinery management and direct machine control
- Efficient & graphical Capacity Planner (Add-On)
- Full integration of barcoding and tracking (Add-On A+W Barcode Manager)
- Always up to date statistics using Crystal Reports or QLIK
- Prinout of production papers, bender text`s and barcode labels
- Possibility to grow with your company based on add-ons like Capacity Planner, Barcoding, Production Terminal
Integrated modules and 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 over 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)
Available add-ons for A+W Production
A+W Analytics
Central and easy evaluation and analysis of (location-spanning) company data.
A+W iShape
Photograph stencils of shapes easily with the mobile phone camera without having to spend time calibrating it
A+W IoT Smart Trace
Retention of sensor and machine data in order to document the creation of a product comprehensively and log it.
A+W CAD Designer (Shapes)
Enables the entry of lite and contour data, all processings, customer CAD data and the digitalization of templates.
A+W CAD Designer (Bars)
High-performance design program to arrange common bar types at will on a rectangular or shaped lite.
A+W DynOpt
