2. MetaCAM Enterprise is an Integrated Production Environment (IPE) that manages and
automates production from a single window. Starting from the creation of part
drawings, order generation & scheduling to completion of production enterprise is a
single window to your shop floor.
How many hours do you spend programming parts manually? How many
SUPER mouse clicks does it take to program a part? Enterprise redefines programming
TOOLER – no more clicking just drag and drop. Files are automatically programmed in
the absence of a programmer and made ready to nest.
• Automatically tool parts for multiple machines
• Quickly locate tooling errors and rectify them
• Suppress machines from programming certain
type of parts
• Update revisions across all machines on the
shop floor
• Only preview parts with errors and leave the
rest to Enterprise
POWER How much time do you spend searching for a part, browsing through network
drives just to find the right part. Enterprise connects you to your CAD data like
SEARCH never before. Easily search through thousands of parts in a matter of seconds.
• Create custom queries and save them for reuse
• Search for Parts by name, material, size, tools or all
these criteria
• Filter and Group parts by properties for easy analysis
• Search through all types of files – Metacam,
Soldiworks, DXF, 3d CAD
3. ORDERS - ERP/MRP CONNECT
Enterprise connects to a variety of MRP or ERP packages using custom bridges that are used to easily import
order data into your production software. Simply setup your customized bridge and use Enterprise can pull
in orders into production.
• Bridge the gap between your ERP and MetaCAM
software
• Use Spreadsheet to automatically create orders
• Import Order relevant data, due dates, quantities
and customer info into jobs.
• Process orders by Work orders or Bill of Materials
(BOM)
DRAWINGS – PARTS/ ASSEMBLIES
A robust and reliable database is used to store data across an organisation. Easily access through the network
gives complete visibility and control to various users across the organization.
• Parts and Assemblies can be stored in the Enter-
prise database and can manage smoothly for
production and revision control.
• Manually create assembly from part library
• Assemblies and subassemblies are flagged upon
revision changes to any of their parts.
• Import Static Nests created offline and create
static assemblies
• Automatically create jobs from assemblies by
simply entering the order quantity.
• Create Assemblies from parts that are defined in a
spread sheet.
4. CONTROL - REVISION TRACKING
Enterprise maintains multiple revisions of parts and allows users to easily access old revision. Old revisions
can be manufactured when needed as all tooling and relevant part information are stored.
• Revision differences.
• Inherit information from previous versions (tooling,
material etc.)
• Compare and review any two revisions to see
changes.
PLAN - SCHEDULER
Programmers can directly schedule nests on the shop floor right from the office. Simply prepare the nest
and once approved directly schedule it on a particular machine. The nest and relevant data such as NC code,
reports and tool list will automatically appear on the operator console.
• Eliminates manually transferring data to the
shop floor
• Keep track of production at each machine
• Operator records production and reports
scrapped parts
5. MULTIPLE USERS - INTERFACES
Enterprise has difference interfaces for the operator, programmer and the designer. Each interface is
designed to maximize the productivity of the user based on the operation they wish to perform.
• Operator deals with only Nest level information
• Programmer gets to program parts and schedule orders
• Designer can import CAD data and revise changes
• Be notified via e-mail on events related to your role
MULTIPLE USERS -
3D CAD - SOLIDWORKSTM INTEGRATION
Enterprise can also read and store solidworks files in the system. This can seamlessly integrate Solidworks
data with Metacam.
• Seamlessly become part of MEnt workflow
• Automatically create MetaCAM pdg files from
sldprt files and produce them
• Create parts in SW and store in MEnt Vault
• View/Checkout/Checkin SW parts in MEnt Vault
• Manage revisions
6. TRACK -
CHANGE PROPAGATION
Enterprise ensures a revised part is automatically flagged on the system including nests that are scheduled
to run. Operators have the freedom to continue or re-nest the part.
• Never produce bad or outdated parts.
• Changing a drawing or tooling invalidates dependent
entities like layouts and prevents them from being
produced.
SHOP FLOOR -
OPERATOR INTERFACE
• Scheduled nests automatically appear on the
Operator console
• Operator can run jobs and keep track of nests
• NC code and standard reports are easily
available.
• Reduce the overall paper trail in the shop.
• Actively keep track of jobs completed at each
machine.
• Error parts can be report and sent back for
renest.
7. DASHBOARD - DATA ANALYSIS
Besides manufacturing parts Enterprise records key parameters and valuable data that can be used to make
decisions on how to improve your productivity on the shop floor. Analyze history on parts, nests, sheets
used, tools punched, run time scheduled on machines or just about any data related to your sheet metal
equipment. Keep track of information.
• Discover which machine/operator gives you most
productivity
• Be informed when you have to replace ageing tools
• Keep track of productivity of each operator on a shift
• Know whether you have to increase capacity
• Find out if any machine needs maintenance
• Schedule jobs on machines based on their work load
