View MoreAutodesk Fusion Production software combines production scheduling, job tracking, and machine monitoring into a single, complete, cloud-based tool. You can create digital work instructions, dispatch job sheets, schedule tasks, track jobs, monitor workstations and view performance reports.
With the ability to monitor the status of both job sheets and workstations, you can see your current production status at-a-glance. If there are any issues, you can assign (or reassign) jobs accordingly to optimize utilization, reduce downtime, and improve throughput.
Having a centralized view of real-time information from the shop floor helps to spot-check a job’s progress against the deadline, manage capacity, and make decisions based on actual workloads instead of estimates or guesswork. After a job runs, data about how it moved through production provides insight to performance. This kind of analysis helps identify the source of scrap, rework, and other issues. More realistic time-to-market calculations could also improve the accuracy of quotes for similar jobs.
Fusion Production provides a detailed product history giving traceability, as well as useful information into how parts were made. This can help job shops meet recordkeeping requirements. Plus, capturing institutional knowledge about how to make specific parts can be useful if a similar job needs to be programmed in the future.
In addition to data from the shop-floor, data directly from CNC machines can help stakeholders understand how their CNC machines are performing. You can cross-reference feeds and speeds to validate machining time, track setup times against part programs, and see how utilization rates are affected by various parameters within an NC program.
All this information helps to improve your overall equipment effectiveness and operational efficiency. Learn more.
