INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTION
Control costs, capacity, and delivery deadlines at every stage of manufacturing
INDUSTRIAL DIGITALIZATION
Aligned processes. Optimized capacity. Total control.
In metallurgical production and metal fabrication, profitability depends on controlling materials, execution times, and machine capacity. Aligning quoting with planning and execution reduces losses and ensures delivery deadlines are met.
Through Senior Software’s integrated solutions dedicated to the metallurgical industry:
- You control costs by order, project, or production batch
- You align quotations with actual production capacity
- You optimize the use of machinery and critical resources
- You ensure full traceability of materials and semi-finished products
- You monitor orders and delivery deadlines in real time
CURRENT CHALLENGES
Operational imbalances in metal fabrication production
Inaccurate planning
Uncontrolled costs
Excess inventory
Limited visibility
Operational deviations
Raw material price fluctuations
MES is an open solution that easily integrates with various systems and components within the company, serving as a foundation for Industry 4.0—where all elements communicate with each other and synchronize. In APS, we can see the number of available orders and determine whether production capacity needs to be adjusted, by increasing or reducing the number of shifts. The Gantt chart provides a “helicopter view” of production, which is a very useful feature.
