Seiki NMS | Shop Floor Communications Software

Seiki NMS comprises of both manufacturing and business
intelligence software, which at the shop floor level
includes the display of work queues and job data
collection,
machine
monitoring,
technical
data
distribution, DNC and probe data collection. The top
office analytical suite offers a remote display of machine
status, machine performance analysis and individual job
reports, key business tools that are necessary for effective
work management and to achieve maximum utilisation of
critical production resources.
Planning to Improve
Becoming a more process focused organisation means
manufacturing parts efficiently and cost effectively. IT
solutions configured to collect data, disseminate
information, increase visibility and automate everyday
activities provide essential support in your efforts to
operate a lean organisation, whilst creating a trusted
factory knowledgebase where performance and quality
can be achieved through control and continuity. Seiki NMS
supports the effective distribution and flow of information
throughout the manufacturing organisation, giving access
to actionable performance data from the factory floor.
Fast and Efficient CNC Communications
Taking a lean approach to manufacturing means
eliminating waste and reducing non-value adding
activities for which fast, effective and simple shop floor
communications are key. An integral component of Seiki
NMS is our easily maintained shop floor communications
and data management control system. NC programs can
be filed on either the host PC or company server if
networked, thus providing a more efficient method of
working using fast and reliable file management that will
ultimately help reduce errors. Manufacturing data is
delivered directly to the shop floor where machine
operators have access to the files stored on a remote
server. Complete job information packs containing all the
manufacturing data pertaining to an operation or
component are available, with the additional flexibility of
being able to view, edit and manipulate different file
types, based on user access privileges. A graphical file
status indicator provides confidence that all file transfers
are controlled - the software is able to automatically
restrict access to NC programs according to their status.
This type of systematic control of manufacturing data can
underpin your internal quality control procedures.

Introducing Seiki NMS...
Seiki NMS is designed for companies looking to
maximise productivity and get the most from
lean initiatives by utilising a complete shop
floor system to electronically distribute and
collect manufacturing process data.
