TDM ShopFloor Manager

TDM Shopfloor Manager module includes a large number of functions that will also help optimize your shopfloor and its processes:

Shopfloor Designer

• The Shopfloor Designer configures the individual tool data flow in the individual shopfloor areas
• TDM provides a number of ready-made software operations, which result in status-led process control of the tool circulation

Demand calculation

• Tool provision is based on the tool requirements of the machines
• The software module enters the calculated tool requirements in a pick list
• ERP or MES systems transfer the production orders via interfaces
• The unloading list displays tools that are no longer needed on the machine
• The shopfloor organization records externally generated demand lists in parallel and processes these further as pick lists
• Standard interfaces to production control systems of various manufacturers are used to transfer the demand lists

Integration of machines (optional)

• The Shopfloor Manager considers real machine stocks and conditions of the tools, which helps with tool planning
• Optional integration of suitable subsystems and machines
• Reliable transfer of tool data (tool offsets)
• Demand planning considers the real remaining tool life or conditions of the tools, which facilitates optimum tool life management
• Automated operations, such as requests for Duplo tools and ad-hoc provision on the machine, simplify processes on the shopfloor

Shopfloor navigation

• The Shopfloor Navigator generates the scope of functions and the operator processes from the configuration
• The Shopfloor Manager Global Line depicts the work areas as cost centers, whereby the module activates the operations for provision of tools executed in this based on status
• Users can distribute individual areas, such as crib/assembly and presetting, to various workplaces, as well as merging these in a Tool Room
