Products | Lantek Expert III | Lantek Expert III Manufacturing

One of the main problems facing companies in this sector involves the monitoring of the work performed during the different stages of the production process. Imagine a job or order consisting of over three hundred parts and that you would like to know what stage each one of these is currently at. Imagine being able to arrange flexible groupings according to machine, material and thickness in the various production processes.

Lantek Expert III Manufacturing provides you with a solution to all these problems. The system is fully integrated with the design solution and machine programming (CAD/CAM), Lantek Expert II.

With a single system, we supervise the entire traceability of the product. By selecting a product or a part, we can access all the information for it, either regarding its design, the nesting it belongs to and the order in which it was generated, or concerning the production stage it is at.

 

Generation of Manufacturing Orders

The generation of manufacturing orders and operations may take place on the basis of either sales orders or the items module. This generation may also be made by importing an order or a purchase order generated by an external program.

When generating an order against a sales order, the user may easily access the information from each sale for any part of the production process.

 

Organisation and grouping
of Manufacturing Operations

This gives the user advanced functions for grouping the parts according to different criteria such as: machine, material, thickness, delivery date, sales order, customer and so on.

From here, you can select the parts that need to be nested and access the nesting module directly..

 

Integration of Production Management (ERP)
with machinery Design and Programming (CAD/CAM)

The transfer from Lantek Expert III Manufacturing to the CAD/CAM modules for cutting and punching is immediate; selection is made of the operations that contain the parts to be nested and the program generates a procedure and sub-procedures that end with the nesting and machining module.

The user may access the Drawing module at any time and modify the geometry of a part or machining operation.

 

Validation of Operations
and Cost Management in real time

Once the nests have been generated and sent to the workshop, all the production processes are ready to be validated. By means of the module for validating work vouchers, recording is made of the real production time, as well as of the consumption of raw material. The module permits the validation of all kinds of product-related operations: cutting/punching, bending, painting, shot-blasting and so forth.

Finally, and for those manufacturing orders/operations selected, a comparison may be made between costs estimated initially (standard cost) and true costs for a specific production launch (current cost).
