PlantNet SPC™: Super-Charged SPC Software for Machine Shops
Altegra's PlantNet helps machine shops increase productivity and profitability by reducing the number of crack-ups and rack-outs, avoiding unplanned downtime, and preventing scrap. Designed especially for machine shops, PlantNet is a predictive system that schedules tool changes and part inspections based on process performance. PlantNet automatically analyzes part measurements and issues stop/go instructions to the operators to prevent dimensions from going out of spec. PlantNet is capable of automatically logging machine downtime through an electronic machine monitoring hookup.
PlantNet software serves as an intelligent assistant helping the operator handle the increasing workload. Imagine someone tapping your operator on the shoulder just before a dimension goes out of spec. Imagine someone reminding the operator to change a tool before it's too late. Imagine someone keeping track of machine downtime without any operator involvement. By helping the operator keep on top of his tasks, PlantNet software reduces the risk of missing delivery dates or shipping defective parts to the customer.
The data collected by PlantNet in order to control the job during execution becomes the source of insight into job performance and a source of improvement ideas. Having access to both real-time and historical data on tool life, downtime, and product quality allows shop management to make time-saving and cost-saving decisions - decisions guided by facts rather than 'gut feel'. By providing detailed, hard-to-get data PlantNet becomes a catalyst for manufacturing process optimization.
Progressive shops in the US and Canada have been using PlantNet to sharpen their competitive edge since 1999.
