Multi-Axis Machining

Multi-axis machining enables manufacturers to:

Produce complex parts with fewer setups, reducing time and labor costs.
Improve precision and consistency, allowing for higher-quality products.
Enables small machine shops to handle more intricate, profitable projects, expanding their competitiveness.

Nesting

Nesting is an advanced capability of some CAM systems that enables manufacturers to:

Maximize material use by automatically arranging and optimizing parts closely on material sheets.
Cut costs and saves valuable time to market.
Reduce waste and shorten production time, helping to boost profits.

Shop Floor Programmer has improved the way we nest files and produce parts. It has enhanced turnaround times and reduced errors, because now we cannot only nest, but also efficiently make changes before cutting.

Automation/Robotics

Doing more with less is the reality of many manufacturers today. Fortunately, robotics can help by:

Handling repetitive tasks, like assembly, welding or packaging, robots can free up workers to do higher-value tasks.
Speed production cycles, lower error rates, and provide a more efficient use of materials.
Enabling manufacturers to adapt more quickly to changes in demand without hiring new people or training existing staff.

Digital Twins in Manufacturing

Manufacturers can monitor, simulate, and optimize facilities and processes without disrupting production by creating a digital twin of physical assets.

Improves efficiency, reduces downtime, and cuts costs by predicting maintenance needs.
Enables companies to test process changes without disrupting production.
Ensures consistent quality.
Optimizes production facility space for optimum output.

With Factory Simulation Engineer, we can visualize all related moves and make better decisions and avoid situations where we need to re-configure two or three times because something was missed.

Collaboration – Top Floor to Shop Floor

Breaking down silos and freely collaborating on manufacturing data enables companies to share resources, lower costs, and increase efficiency. Real-time access to data also speeds decision-making, leading to higher levels of innovation. Collaboration on manufacturing data fosters a culture of continuous improvement that enables:

Better coordination between R&D, engineering and production leads to streamlined workflows, accelerating the development lifecycle.
Informed decision-making based on real-time insights from production data drives innovation in product design, process improvements and customization capabilities.
Reduction in unplanned downtime as a result of predictive maintenance that anticipates equipment failures before they happen.

Manufacturing ERP

DELMIAWorks is a comprehensive manufacturing Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solution thatintegrates every aspect of the manufacturing process. Designed for mid-market manufacturers, itconnects factory floor operations with ERP functionality, offering complete visibility and control. The all-in-one system empowers small and mid-size manufacturing companies to optimize performancethrough data-driven decision-making and seamless workflow integration.

Improved efficiency: Automates processes to minimize manual tasks and reduce delays, accelerating production cycles and enhancing productivity.
Scalability: Adapts to growing business needs, ensuring the system evolves with increasing production demands and complexity.
Seamless integration: end-to-end connectivity between shop floor operations and business operations provides real-time supply chain visibility and improves collaboration.

Since we implemented DELMIAWorks, our revenue has increased by 30 percent. The system gave us the tools we needed to automate processes, adopt a culture of continuous improvement, and position ourselves for sustained growth.
