 Seiki Systems Productivity Suite is an integrated package of modular software that can be utilised for planning, controlling and improving the works order lifecycle of any manufacturing company that uses CNC machine tools and manual processes.
All the individual modules within the Seiki portfolio are available as stand alone solutions or are offered as an integral part of the Seiki Productivity Suite. The total solution comprises of:
- Enterprise resource planning (ERP)
- Finite capacity planning and scheduling
- Robust shop floor communications and paperless manufacturing
- Automatic and manual data collection
- Real time status visibility and control
- Performance analysis
Furthermore, to ensure your project is on time and to budget we provide a complete service, including planning, installation, implementation, customisation, training and after sales support. Our aim is to work with you to secure your return on investment and support your business as it grows.
Why Seiki Productivity Suite?
Most companies operate some form of system to plan and load their manufacturing resources but few can actually determine with accuracy the status of current work in progress, available capacity, which active jobs are on time or late and the consequences of any delayed operations. It is in these areas that Seiki Systems specialise. To achieve this level of visibility and control, real time systems relating to machine and operation status provide a far more accurate picture of the current state of production on the shop floor on which to base key planning decisions.
Visibility and control of the works order lifecycle
Finite capacity planning is based on the real capacity of your facility and ensures corrective action can be taken to prevent late deliveries and operations are only scheduled when resources are available, reducing W.I.P. and avoiding bottlenecks in production. Seiki Scheduler can interrogate ny external data source, such as ERP/MRP to establish the target planned completion dates and number of parts required for each works order according to scheduling rules, current work loads and available capacity, creating a synchronised work-to-list for each individual resource. This information is then distributed around the shop floor and is made available to inform the machine operators in real time, as such any planned changes are reflected immediately on the shop floor.
As a job is action the operator has controlled access to manufacturing data, including DNC, whilst the shop floor data collection (SFDC) facility feeds back in real time to the Scheduler, enabling the performance of the resource to be monitored. The information recorded can be remotely viewed, analysed and used to update the Scheduler and other enterprise systems, creating a closed data loop. As the solution works in real time, it is possible to forecast future events and as such the delivery consequences to all jobs and capacity changes to all resources due to unexpected changes can be viewed. Reliance upon physical observation of the shop floor activity and word of mouth to determine production capacity for the allocation of work is eliminated.
The Seiki Productivity Suite can be installed in all types of manufacturing facility and can be captured from any machine or resource taking into account multiple operations, shift working and skill levels without intensive manual intervention or interpretation. Technical data distribution within your hardwired or wireless LAN infrastructure can be employed for DNC and machine monitoring. The central data repository provides access to real time job reporting and performance analysis on which to base production efficiency and continuous improvement strategies.
