Monitoring and Validation of the
Manufacturing Process (from office and workshop)

Designed for operating with the Lantek Expert CAD/CAM programming system and the production management system Lantek Expert III, it permits the production manager to choose which work centre or machine is to carry out each job and subsequently deliver it to the workshop.

Lantek Wos Office provides the option of monitoring nestings in real time and verifying the production of any order at any given moment.

Lantek Wos Workshop enables the operator to display the nestings pending on their computer and process all the necessary information for machining them.

 

Powerful display of nestings

Lantek Wos includes multiple options for the full display of information associated with nestings:

• 2D nesting design.
• List of pending nests: the system lists the nests loaded, as well as their status. It also allows for modifying their order and even changing machine.
• Turret configuration when punching machines are used. It also includes information on the die, the diameter of the punch required or the angle at which it should be placed.
• Numerical control (CNC) of the nests.
• Data on the parts: the user may check each one of the parts that make up the nests and their quantity (information is provided for each one in terms of length, height, cutting perimeter, rectangular and external area, etc.).
• Process and machine times: knowing the time the machine takes to make the nest.
• Graphic and intuitive display: the interface for performing the tasks consists of only three buttons: start, cancel and stop. Through the use of colours, the user can identify each stage of the operation at any given moment, as well as possible errors or setbacks of any other kind.

 

Management of the palletisation
process (Wos pallet) *

Lantek Wos allows us to simulate the palletisation of the parts that make up a nest. This makes it possible to display and configure the work to be performed by a machine operating with parts located on the same pallet.

(*) This option is optional.

 

Machine warehouse management (Wos warehouses) *

This option is for administering automatic sheet metal warehouses connected and managed by the cutting machine. The system manages a variable number of warehouse locations, and monitors and performs loading of sheet metal onto the machine at any time.

(*) This option is optional.

 

Preparation and finalization tasks

It is possible to define and customise the tasks of preparing and completing the work beforehand, so as to make the job easier for the workshop operator and more accurately calculate the estimated time for carrying out the task.

 

Paperless workshop system

Working with Lantek Expert III, the workshop and the office are integrated in real time. Traditional hard copy work vouchers no longer need to be used and idle time and data recording duplication errors are eliminated.

 

Cost Management

Once the work and operations have finished, the data screen displays an exhaustive overview. This allows the user to verify any deviation existing between the estimated time and the real time.

In short, Lantek Wos has the following functional characteristics:

• Monitoring and Validation of the Manufacturing Process.
• Real time management of workshop procedures.
• Complete display of information on operations and nestings.
• Cost management.
• Paperless workshop system.
• Management of palletisation.
