BySoft 7 Plant Manager
What is the Plant Manager?
The Plant Manager is a unique tool with which you can plan and monitor all laser cutting and bending processes in both an automatic and informed way.
Which tasks does the Plant Manager assume?
Each ERP system is subdivided into individual work cycles in the production chain. One of these cycles is the general planning of cutting and bending processes. Here, the Plant Manager assesses and refines the planning automatically. In this way, individual steps and time are saved, costs are reduced, and error sources are eliminated. Furthermore, the Plant Manager initiates and monitors parts production and provides you with comprehensive statistical data.
