AMS Controls now offers the latest integration software for metal trim shops, Order Desk. Order Desk is PC-based software that runs on any networked PC in your company. This will now enable trim shops to maximize their folding machine production on the shop floor by putting the profile creation and order management in the hands of the front office instead of the machine operator. It allows the operators to spend their time producing parts, not deciphering drawings and programming profiles. It will also increase order entry speed and decrease the number of mistakes made while processing a customer's order.
With Order Desk you'll be able to:
- Create and manage one set of trim profiles from a networked PC and store them in a shared network location, so that any Pathfinder-controlled folding machine can access any Profile.
- Create one profile that can be used on different makes of machines. The geometry of the profile is kept separate from the sequences so each machine can have its own unique sequence for each shared profile.
- Create jobs (Orders) using the Order Desk software or Eclipse Production Management System.
- Print bar-coded labels with order information and a thumbnail of the profile. The labels can be placed on a stack of blanks and used to call up the order from Pathfinder using a USB bar code scanner.
- Split large jobs between multiple Pathfinder-controlled folding machines.
- Track produced profiles for each job by date and Pathfinder-controlled folding machine.
- Eclipse may be added to include downloading capability and to enhance the scheduling of jobs.
