We focus specifically on control cabinet manufacturers, manufacturers of white goods, machines, special vehicles, vending machines, as well as contract manufacturers. As a wire harness manufacturer, you are under price pressure in these areas and need to streamline. And this applies to relatively small job sizes, typically between 1 and 100 pieces – white goods are an exception. The products are very different and made of very different materials. Frequent changeovers are therefore necessary, which takes a considerable amount of time.

Save changeover time with an optimized job list

Most of you are still working without an MES. However, you can use the Optimized job list dashboard function to re-arrange your jobs to minimize the number of changeovers required as far as possible. This saves valuable changeover time.

Streamline data transfer from and to paper

Without an MES, you may typically send and archive jobs on paper and manage materials using your own forms. With the Komax HMI machine dashboard, the inputs and outputs required for this can be displayed transparently so that they can be easily transferred from or to paper.

Further functions in the machine dashboard are designed to adapt the operation of the machine to your needs.

Repeat previous jobs with ease

You often produce several articles with the same components, but with different lengths. In the machine dashboard, you can easily retrieve previously produced articles from a continuously updated list, adapt them and add them to the list as a new job.

Valuable data for invoicing and calculations

The Machine usage dashboard function presents several pieces of information that are helpful for creating invoices and calculations: it informs you about the duration of productive operation and the ratio to the total operating time – for all shifts in a day and for the last 30 days.

Results of quality checks for your production report

The Verification function provides you with the detailed results of the quality checks. This makes it easy to include them in the production report.

Is there still sufficient material for the next job? 

You need no longer ask yourself this question, even if you work without an MES. Because the Material consumption section clearly lists the material used, it is easy to calculate the remaining material. This also facilitates your invoicing and final post-calculation.

Faster onboarding of new employees

The guided operation in Komax HMI ensures that the operator must consistently adhere to the specified processes. This may not be so important for the most experienced operators. But new employees can be trained much faster than with the previous TopWin software.
