Hypertherm’s Production Manager is an optional module for its ProNest advanced CAD/CAM nesting software which is a web-based module designed to improve productivity, maximize machine uptime, boost on-time delivery and increase material utilization.
Production Manager is said to seamlessly integrate with Hypertherm’s Edge Connect CNC to automatically capture machine data without the need for operator intervention. In addition, it displays real-time production data so team members across an organization can track the status of job orders, the production schedule and pending inventory requirements.
It also has an intuitive dashboard view to provide production stats and trends in one view. Color-coded status alerts help users quickly understand the on-screen information, while an interactive display enables users to drill down for additional insight.
Real-time machine data from the CNC is transferred to Production Manager. This enables users to track job progress from pending to in-production and actual completion time, making it easier to respond to customer inquiries and forecast the production schedule.
The software also offers flexible intervention to cancel or hold orders to add or remove parts based on last-minute changes. Users can view machine backlogs and ensure loads are evenly distributed across cutting machines in a way that optimizes the production schedule.
Users also have remote access, making it easy to access Production Manager via a computer, mobile phone or tablet anytime and anywhere users have a secured network or VPN connection.
