MES for Metal Forming:
Maximize OEE for Stamping Presses, Bending Cells & Progressive Dies

Manufacturer-Independent Integration: Connects modern forming systems as well as proven legacy machinery.

Precise Quantity Tracking: Accurately differentiates between raw stroke counts and actual good part output (e.g., for multi-cavity dies).

Direct Signal Reading: Machine status, runtimes, counter values, and fault reasons are logged automatically directly from the controller.

Combined System Intelligence: Any data the machine cannot report on its own (e.g., specific scrap causes) is easily supplemented via the shopfloor terminal.

Automatic Stroke Tracking: Every performed stroke is booked precisely against the active tool and its specific modules.

Complete Location Transparency: Instantly see whether a tool is currently mounted in the machine, sitting in storage, or undergoing maintenance in the toolroom.

Preventive Maintenance Triggers: Instead of reacting to tool damage after it happens, EMC automatically triggers maintenance orders for edge re-grinding once stroke thresholds are reached.

Comprehensive Documentation: All repairs, modifications, and tool runtimes are logged seamlessly in the digital history card for every tool and its spare parts.

Instant Breakdown Alerts: If a fault occurs on a stamping or bending line, the toolroom sees the notification immediately on their dashboard and can take action right away.

Real-Time Tool Status: Production planners can see at any moment whether a tool is ready for use or undergoing maintenance, allowing for proactive order scheduling.

Reliable Order Sequencing: Planners maintain full visibility over the exact status of all tools and equipment, enabling smooth rescheduling without unexpected surprises.

Smart Setup Completion Detection: EMC tracks setup times accurately and automatically detects via machine signals when the first regular stroke occurs, marking the end of the changeover.

Guided Checklists at the Terminal: Operators are guided step-by-step through the setup process, ensuring no settings are missed and quality is right from the very first part.

Setup Parameters at Your Fingerprints: Instant delivery of all relevant tool and machine parameters right to the terminal, ensuring maximum process reliability even during unplanned tool changes.

Automatic Container & Part Labeling: Print finished labels and routing slips directly at the terminal – error-free and synchronized, even with multi-cavity tooling (e.g., 2- or 4-out parts).

Direct Downtime & Scrap Logging: Operators can record causes for production interruptions or scrap in just a few clicks via the touchscreen.

Clean Data Foundation: Transparent quantities and clear container status with every container change, ensuring smooth handovers to logistics or downstream processing.
