Lean production relies on automated CAM

The industrial machinery industry is responsible for developing more complex and customized equipment than ever before. Because of this, these machines require components with more challenging geometry and tighter tolerances. On top of these challenges, lean production strategies are forcing delivery schedules to be more compressed, forcing the need for greater operational efficiencies and better shop management.

Precision parts manufacturing

The increasing demand for highly customized, highly complex products that are designed to meet customer’s specific needs means OEMs must embrace advanced technologies and the benefits they can offer to increase efficiencies. Our Digital Part Production’s Highly automated CAM technology allow OEMs to easily re-use proven data to automate programming and optimize the manufacturing of precision parts needed for machines to deliver consistent results.

Customized part production with smart manufacturing technologies

Thanks to IoT, and the rise of smart manufacturing, parts manufacturer’s now have access to more data than ever before, but the key to success lies in knowing how to integrate and reuse this customized part data to improve products and processes. Manufacturers need to fully merge their digital and physical processes and create a continuous, digitized communication and feedback loop to understand how each change to part design impacts the larger manufacturing process.

Automated CAM and feature recognition

To efficiently manufacture today’s increasingly complex parts, manufacturers require Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM) software. With a single system from engineering to production, you increase design flexibility and improve collaboration across the organization, all teams have access to the same information in real-time. Any design changes are automatically notified downstream guaranteeing associativity throughout the product lifecycle.
