Flexible production flows

High-tech company TRUMPF will be presenting a new Oseon software package for production scheduling and control at its Digital Summit in-house trade fair on 6 April 2022 . With its open interfaces , the software is also suitable for users who want to integrate machines from other suppliers into their fully networked production , in addition to TRUMPF machines . Oseon also allows users to fully automate the flow of materials on the shop floor , potentially eliminating the need to invest in a large-scale storage system .
“ Manufacturers can use our new Oseon software to create significantly leaner production processes and make major gains in productivity . The software includes a range of new options for managing the transportation of materials in a flexible and automated fashion . Oseon also offers production workers a clear display of all relevant production data directly within their work environment ,” it told ISMR .
“ As well as reducing downtime and nonproductive time , the software also makes better use of machine capacity and makes life easier for employees . The resulting productivity gains can be as high as 20 per cent ,” added TRUMPF product manager , Wolfgang Liertz . “ Oseon lets users synchronise material flow with their production schedule so they can respond even faster and more flexibly to unexpected events such as rush orders , as well as processing more orders in less time .” The software also holds information on batches , material stocks , the locations of each cart and trolley and the parts required on the shop floor . The TRUMPF developers rely on a combination of barcodes and smart docking stations to efficiently manage the flow of materials . Alternatively , this journey can be made autonomously by an automated guided vehicle ( AGV ) controlled by Oseon .
Using a tablet , production staff they can see all the relevant information on a job without leaving their work environment . The software guides them through all forthcoming tasks . TRUMPF also offers access to its new Condition Monitoring service . Its Predictive Service Centre receives up-to-date condition data from all the digitally connected machines on a customer ’ s shop floor . Whenever an anomaly is detected that could mean a potential malfunction or downtime , it informs the customer proactively and sends them recommended solutions . This allows the customer to solve problems before they result in unexpected downtime or cause the machine to produce unusable parts . n
