As a custom manufacturer, you depend on your CNC equipment for precise and efficient automated cutting. Do you find it time-consuming or difficult to map production specifications to your CNC machines? Are you tired of entering cut process details by hand or fighting with custom interfaces?
If so, it’s time to take a hard look at how Frontier Cut Part Processing can eliminate your cutting nightmares.
Frontier Cut Part Processing
Frontier Cut Part Processing bridges the gap between your CNCs and production scheduling, material optimization, and other shop equipment. With Frontier MES, Cut Part Processing removes automated cutting programming problems. As a result, you will see an uptick in productivity and efficiency.
Product details are defined and validated through Frontier’s configuration logic and fed to the Cut Part Processing application. It generates data for driving automated cutting equipment or feeding manual cut sheets on the production floor. Detailed product attributes are automatically stored and used based on product line groupings within the ERP.
Benefits of Cut Part Processing
By pulling information directly from Frontier ERP, Cut Part Processing removes the need for inefficient tasks. This speeds up delivery times and ensures accurate automated cutting configurations. The application also supports various materials and cutting methods while minimizing excess material.
Cut Part Processing takes the hassle out of batch cut processing for risk-free automated cutting.
Enhanced Material Handling
Cut Part Processing controls and facilitates the tracking and movement of components between manufacturing areas. It supports user-defined material handling devices by plant, product line, and production area. Smart cart/slot logic and barcode-enabled reporting further increase efficiency.
Efficient Automated Cutting Batch Processing
Scheduling batch cut runs is crucial for production efficiency. Cut Part Processing uses Frontier’s integrated iSchedule application to create detailed cut part files from parent production runs. Files are sent to the shop floor upon release, providing cost-effective, batch processing for both manual and automated cutting processes.
Real-time Visibility and Equipment Interfaces
Cut Part Processing offers real-time visibility of cut part files by warehouse location and product line. It supports common industry interfaces for several optimization and equipment systems including the following with ongoing additions to adjust for new machinery.
