Technology Routing

Spending too much time manually defining operation sequences and calculating production costs for every item? The Technology module lets you manage products end-to-end by assigning precise routings, time standards, and dedicated workstations and machines. Built-in AI algorithms automatically generate production steps based on historical data, drastically speeding up the technologist’s daily work.

Benefits

What changes in the company after the rollout

A product receives an operation sequence with assigned workstations. The routing defines how the product flows through the plant.

Faster product introduction

Launch new products in no time thanks to easy routing copying and automatic routing generation from the BOM structure.

Accurate production costing

Estimate manufacturing costs precisely by linking operation times with workstation hourly rates.

Better work organization

Streamline production processes through clear assignment of operations to specific departments and authorized employees.

Material usage optimization

Reduce raw material waste by using the material requirement calculator and analysing parts cut from a single board.

Full data transparency

Quickly find the information you need thanks to product families and clear verification statuses.

Features

What exactly you get

Technology routing editor

Define each production step, specifying the department, operation, technology standard, and target warehouse.

Machine park database

Manage the list of workstations and machines, assigning departments, statuses, and hourly rates in PLN.

CNC program support

Add G-code files, define cycle time, and calculate the number of boards required for a given production quantity.

Technology standards management

Create and edit standards by defining cycles per piece, throughput, and machine changeover time.

Product and BOM catalogue

View product details in dedicated tabs, analysing costs, minimum stock levels, and material structure.

Artificial intelligence

What AI does for you in this process

Mass routing generation

Artificial intelligence automatically creates operation sequences for many products at once using a mass action.

Intelligent step suggestions

Algorithms analyse historical technology data to accurately suggest next steps in the routing editor.

Product categorization support

The system analyses data and automatically generates ABC suggestions and auto-limits based on sales and lead time.

Module description

The process from start to finish

Gain full control over the process of designing technology for your products. Browse and edit a categorized product list, verifying stock levels, costs, and BOM structure. Build precise technology routings by defining the sequence of operations, assigned production departments, and changeover times. Manage your machine park by setting hourly rates for individual workstations and monitoring their current status. Create detailed technology standards to accurately calculate throughput and the number of cycles for each operation. Store and analyse CNC programs with G-code files, optimizing material consumption with built-in calculators. Focus on production optimization with all technology data in one consistent system.
