Shop floor integration allows systems to communicate, improving the efficiency of numerous operations. This is crucial to the success of businesses responsible for the creation of products.
Mint Controls provides a variety of services designed to increase the efficiency and profitability of every operation. Integration is an extremely important part of this process.
In manufacturing and made-to-order operations, the following shop floor integrations help ensure adequate shop floor control and communication.
Cost Centers/Cost Controls
Cost control helps identify and reduce business expenses to increase profitability. Integrated cost controls automate the process of comparing actual costs with budgeted expenses. This helps locate areas that could benefit from improvement.
BOM Controls
A Bill of Materials (BOM) provides all of the information needed to assemble a part. A BOM connects design, engineering, manufacturing, and supply chain activities. The BOM is a source of information used to make a correct assessment of the design to determine manufacturability, cost of components, sustainability of suppliers, and more.
Integration with Mint Controls’ Software enables participants to view BOM changes in real-time. This creates a complete and accurate view of assembly operations. Proper BOM management ensures all participants in the manufacturing process have access to the right information.
Inventory Controls
Proper inventory control allows organizations to know the exact amount of stock they have at any given time. Inventory control includes inventory at every stage of the production process from purchase and delivery to use and re-order.
Quality inventory control allows organizations to ensure they have the right amount of stock in the right place at the right time. It also protects production if problems occur within the supply chain.
Integration with Mint Controls’ Software enables users to access real-time information about inventory location and status. Alerts notify users when stocks run low. The configuration of the system enables automatic re-ordering of inventory as needed. This ensures that organizations always have exactly what they need when they need it.
Machine PLC Productivity
PLC-based control systems allow organizations to produce higher quality products in less time and with fewer resources. A PLC-based control system reduces the amount of time it takes to perform tasks. It also eliminates the chance of human error.
Our PLC enables communication between the controller and Mint Controls’ Productivity Suite Software. Users can quickly track key data and view information regarding machine productivity.
Staff Productivity
Staff productivity is crucial to the success of any operation. Profits suffer whenever staff is not present. This is especially true for made to order production lines where a certain number of staff members must be present in order for production to begin or continue.
Mint Controls’ Software automates a number of processes, improving employee productivity and allowing for better allocation of staff. Our system measures and records the location and activities of employees.
