Paperless Manufacturing: Centrally Provide Knowledge and Documents

Access Production Documents, Engineering Drawings, and Setup Parameters Digitally Right at the Terminal

Searching for up-to-date drawings, setup plans, or inspection instructions costs valuable time, and outdated paper printouts quickly lead to costly mistakes. The EMC KnowledgeBase module provides all order-, part-, and machine-relevant documents directly at the terminal or on mobile tablets. Machine operators have instant access to setup values, PDFs, photos, and video guides right where they are needed. Furthermore, operators can add their own field notes, operational tips, and best practices directly into the system on-site.

Whether critical setup instructions for complex progressive dies in metal forming or lubrication and parameter sheets for wire drawing machinery in wire processing: EMC makes the transition to fully paperless manufacturing reliable, transparent, and practical.

Bundle information

The current document in the right place: Merge existing documents, from a server or in a document management system, and display them directly in production without paper at the MES terminal.

Article data, drawings and more can be called up digitally at any time for each article produced. Separate order or article folders with printouts of this information are thus obsolete.

Documents important for the machine, such as lubrication schedules or drawings, are stored for the respective machine. The machine setter does not have to dig through documents, but has quick and efficient access to the information and documents required for his work.

Bunde information and make them available where they are needed

Paperless manufacturing through efficient provisioning and additions

In addition to providing the specifications for manufacturing the article, the employee supplements the specifications with his or her experience and setting values: Ongoing, digitally and directly on the shopfloor.

This is how knowledge is created …

… that is available exactly where it is needed. Without leaving their place at the machine, the worker can simply enter, supplement and expand their knowledge with new information on the order, article and machine. This knowledge is thus available for the next work steps, other employees or the next orders directly and without detours exactly where it is needed. This is how the paperless production of the future works.

Create valuable knowledge by adding information directly on the shopfloor

Important information available everywhere

All stored and added information can also be accessed at any time via the EMC Portal module of the MES Software EMC and in the ERP system by export.

Retrievable via QR code

You can also use the stored information directly for the clear, digital labeling of parts and containers. For example, by allowing the information to travel with each container and retrieve it at any time via the QR code.

This eliminates the need for goods slips, which are usually printed out and filled out by hand for all containers. The content of the goods label created and printed directly from the system can be configured individually. In addition to the order and container number, it can also contain the number of pieces, the current and next work sequence, and other information relevant to your production, such as the location.
