Dive into our interactive infographic and discover how KmProd, developed by META 2i, has transformed the operational efficiency of an Aluminium Spinning plant through its advanced features. Explore step by step how our MES/MOM solution optimized production processes, improved material traceability, and strengthened quality in this specific industrial environment.
KmProd scheduling gives your commercial department the neccesary monitoring tools to check that production and delivery deadlines agreed upon with other business units and clients are met. This will reassure your clients and will be one of your major sales thus constituting a major sales argument.
KmProd offers an online ordering service for your customers. Orders are then directly integrated into the KmProd system. Thus, you can offer your customers reliable tracking solutions for their merchandise, as well as help them meet instant deadlines.
Production planning / Dashboard
KmProd is interfaced and synced with your ERP, from which all the necessary data is retrieved. It therefore allows multiple approvals for your offices including:
• A complete IS system • Production planning • Analytical Dashboards to measure your performance • Production scheduling • An item database • Shipment management • Machine planning • Nomenclature
The production schedule is recalculated according to customer orders to generate deadlines / screens.
Supply Chain
KmProd allows the traceability of supplies at all scales:
Each billet is entered in the database and its position in real time is visible on the application. KmProd helps forecast and plan future supply needs based on production. This effectively saves time as well as enables a more fluid production process by limiting the storage of billets.
Stocks
Our tool makes it possible to easily manage stocks by ensuring a simple traceability of billets, according their suppliers, alloys, castings, etc. It also enables you and your team to manage in real time the filling of the various storage yards.
The calculation of your supply needs by KmProd is performed by taking into account your planned production. Thus it allows a more effective and fluid storage process. As we all know, a part that has been ordered too early needs to be stored for too long, resulting in a useless and costly waste of time and space.
Kiln Management
KmProd is connected to your workshop equipment and can give oven heating instructions.
It allows an analysis of the performance of the use of the ovens, in order to achieve energy savings by optimizing the heating time based on planned production.
Billet Cutting
KmProd integrates an industrial intelligence module called OptiPress which makes it possible to determine and calculate the aluminum spinning instructions, and which optimizes the cutting from the first cut of the billets.
It thus allows a reduction in rejects, and in the processing time. It therefore allows savings at all scales !
Tool Store
• Production instructions / technical parameters
• Management and evaluation of supply chain suppliers
• Performance and condition
• Management of the chain furnace
• Adjustments / Maintenance / Tests
• KPI: Life expectancy, number of tests ...
• Store management
Press supervision
The KmProd solution allows complete control and supervision of the press, in order to ensure that production is as efficient as possible.
While fully knowing the state and operation of production tools to be able to analyze its performance.
OptiPresse
OptiPresse is an industrial intelligence module that calculates and determines the most efficient spinning instructions.
• Unique repository
• Artificial Intelligence
• Return on investment by reducing costs and waste.
KmEnergy saves energy. The tool shows where energy is lost.
• Water leak
• Heat loss
• Air conditioning
• Co2
• Overconsumption of electricity
Detection performed via machine learning algorithms and analysis of energetic performance.
R&D
KmProd generates feedback that is essential for quality control and its improvement in research and development services.
Thus the data collected makes it possible to generate statistics useful for the creation of future products and services.
Summaries and reports can be easily issued to accompany the orientation resulting from the field feedback.
Workshop Management
KmProd generates pending production orders, production history and events on a dedicated screen for your workshop's staff and operators. They can also see their performance.
KmProd allows the operator to know where it is in production and what to do.
The machine screen allows real-time supervision of machine operation, as well as the implementation of preventive maintenance to save time.
Quality control and rejects
KmProd makes it possible to limit rejects by optimizing offcuts during cutting, and by automating quality control. But also to analyze the quality performance (quality synthesis).
The rejects which are therefore limited and may be recycled more easily, which allows savings at all levels.
Management of the income furnace
KmProd connects to the workshop equipment and can give instructions for heating the furnaces.
It allows an analysis of the performance of the use of the furnaces, in order to achieve energy savings by optimizing time of heating according to the planned production.
Subcontractor management
Our solution allows a simplified management of contractors (logistics and / or industrial subcontracting).
The products are traceable throughout the process and the organization is improved which saves time, lower losses, and organized storage of finished or semi-finished products.
Container management
KmProd integrates a container management module enabling real time efficient localization.
Each container is weighed to ensure that the content is the right one, the characteristics of the profiles are directly associated with the tool and are visible on the screen.
Avoiding errors will save time and improve your organizational processes.
Equipment
KmProd allows you to forecast and plan which accessories and equipment are going to be used in production.
This optimizes the load on the production line and saves time for future operations.
Anodization
KmProd anodization makes it possible to manage what type of product will be used for the anodization of the profiles.
Based on Machine Learning and the industrial intelligence algorithms developed by KmProd, the anodization schedule optimizes deadlines and increases productivity.
