Description

Intergraph Smart® Production, enhanced by NESTIX, employs an innovative bottom-up strategy to oversee the entire production workflow in yards and fabrication facilities, aligning with the principles of Industry 4.0. Serving over 400 clients, this solution has demonstrated its effectiveness by encompassing all necessary features for work preparation, part nesting, and Numerical Control (NC) generation, while also facilitating load balancing of materials and resources in a unified platform. Smart Production ensures that any alterations to the production workflow are managed consistently through a data-oriented methodology. It allows for real-time machine and workstation feedback from the shop floor, providing crucial insights into the progress of work at any moment. By incorporating inventory management, actual usage tracking, and remnant management into the workflow, the system enables substantial material optimization. Furthermore, leveraging Intergraph Smart 3D for planning assembly hierarchy, it offers a detailed visualization of real-time production status against the planned benchmarks, enhancing overall operational efficiency. This comprehensive approach not only streamlines processes but also fosters continuous improvement in production practices.
