 Seiki Systems has over 20 years experience in the development and provision of real time manufacturing systems that provide an immediate, visual and dynamic picture of the 'plan to make' production process.
Why Seiki NMS?
 Seiki NMS is designed for companies looking to maximise productivity and get the most from lean initiatives by utilising a complete shop floor system to electronically distribute and collect manufacturing process data.
The system comprises of both manufacturing and business intelligence software, which at the shop floor level includes the display of work queues and job data collection, machine monitoring, technical data distribution, DNC and probe data collection. The top office analytical suite offers a remote display of machine status, machine performance analysis and individual job reports. Key business tools that are necessary for effective work management and to achieve maximum utilisation of critical production resources.
Seiki NMS supports the effective distribution and flow of information throughout the manufacturing organisation, giving access to actionable performance data from the factory floor. The system comprises of the core Seiki modules: Seiki DNC, Seiki Jobpack, Seiki Monitoring and Seiki SFDC. By combining all the key features and benefits of these modules into a single system, Seiki NMS provides users with a comprehensive shop floor solution that will support continuous improvement strategies.
CNC Communications and NC Data Management
- High speed, reliable data transfer
- Traceability with full audit trail of file transfer
- Centralised storage and display of all manufacturing data
- Delivery of essential manufacturing data direct to the operator on the shop floor
- Assign user access and privileges
- Integral NC Editor software to view, edit, compare and manipulate NC programs
- Links to other factory systems including ERP, PLM, PDM and other database systems
Resource Monitoring and Data Collection
- Collection of productive and non-productive events occuring on CNC/manual machines
- Machine status changes derived automatically (e.g. cycle start or alarm condition) via digital signals received from the machine tool, providing continuous data collection
- Manual entry of operating conditions and status changes using a simple HMI on the local shop floor terminal
- Access a dynamic real time view of the shop environment from anywhere on the LAN/WLAN
- Quickly identify the live status of each individual monitoried resource as it is updated on the terminal by the operator
- Works order data collection, allowing shop floor jobs to be started, finished or paused, whilst also recording good/scrap parts and the duration of each operation
- Forward visibilty of the workload using work queues - integrate to SFDC to support work in progress (FIFO) booking/tracking
- Simple integration with existing ERP/MRP/MES
Performance Analysis
Seiki analysis software acts upon a central data repository, providing an easy method of accessing, viewing and summarising the manufacturing performance data; generating reports comprising of relevant management information. The system provides detailed historical analysis of the productivity of each resource, as well as live progress and times of operations for individual works orders. Giving internal stakeholders to real time actionable data direct from the shop floor will enable them to make informed decisions and take action to resolve and prevent identified causes for issues that could be costing you money.
