MES for Metal Forming:
Maximize OEE for Stamping Presses, Bending Cells & Progressive Dies
The Field-Tested MES for Stamping, Bending, and Forging
In metal forming, tool life, high stroke rates, and fast setup processes dictate your profitability. Unplanned downtime on high-cost stamping presses, bending cells, or progressive dies instantly drives up costs.
EMC is the modular MES built specifically for these demanding requirements. The software connects your forming equipment, production planning, and toolroom in real time. It uncovers hidden cycle time losses, optimizes setup times during coil and slit strip changes, and protects your tooling from costly failures – simple, reliable, and completely paperless on the shopfloor.
How EMC Drives Profitability in Your Forming Operations
Automatic Machine Data Collection Without Extra Effort for Your Team
EMC collects operational and machine data from your stamping and bending presses fully automatically in the background. You get reliable real-time data straight from the shopfloor—without requiring continuous manual input from your operators.
Predictive Tool Protection Instead of Costly Repairs
Extend the service life of your valuable stamping and bending tools. With a digital tool history card, you keep track of tool condition, cumulative stroke counts, and exact storage locations at all times – ensuring maximum process reliability and predictable maintenance.
Seamless Workflow Between Shopfloor, Toolroom, and Production Planning
Avoid unnecessary machine downtime and planning errors. Intelligent integration connects your production planning team in real time with the shopfloor and toolroom – ensuring you only schedule orders that are genuinely ready for production.
Shorter Downtime During Material and Tool Changeovers
Ensure fast, error-free setup procedures on your stamping and bending lines. Guided processes and automatic delivery of setup parameters significantly reduce changeover times, getting new production orders running much faster.
No More Manual Paper Records at the Machines
Put an end to illegible notes, manual calculations, and mislabeled containers. EMC automates the labeling of finished parts directly at the line and captures fault causes exactly where they happen.
The Complete Manufacturing Process in a Single System
EMC seamlessly maps the true workflow on your shopfloor digitally, without gaps or media breaks:
Order → Tool → Machine → Material → Strokes / Good & Scrap Parts → Downtime → Traceability → Post-Calculation
Your Result: You maintain full control at every stage of the process, ensure seamless batch traceability, and gain precise data for reliable post-calculation.
