Challenge
Decreasing batch sizes, increasing complexity and not enough specialists to go around – successfully handling day-to-day affairs in sheet production is a daunting task. Using the TruTops Calculate TRUMPF calculation software developed by mcs makes the overall production process transparent with regard to times and costs.
Solution
What will parts or components cost and how long will production last? The TruTops Calculate software calculates this quickly and automatically. To do this, the software uses stored technology parameters for TRUMPF punch, punch/laser, laser and laser pipe cutters. The software offers numerous interfaces, such as a REST interface for integration in ERP systems. Until now, the software has only been available as an on-premises product for direct use at the user’s location. In future, the calculation will also be available from the cloud as a multitenant services solution.
Advantages
- TruTops Calculate speeds up offer preparation by automatically calculating costs and production times.
- Costs are depicted as tree diagrams for rapid analysis.
- Customer-specific time-cost models can be prepared in an intuitive formula editor.
- Available as an on-premises product directly at the user’s location or in future as a scalable, flexible cloud service.
