Version 3 brings new advanced integration options and numerous additional capabilities.
The openness and interoperability now provided by the new versions will enable users to control costs and prepare accurate quotations, bring products to market more quickly, maximise return on investment and make the best use of company resources, Sescoi claims.
Integration starts with Sescoi's own software systems: already able to link to the WorkNC automatic CAM system to accurately determine project part machining times, the V3 solutions can now also interface with WorkXPlore 3D, Sescoi's high speed collaborative viewer for advanced CAD file analysis and sharing. Combined, the systems facilitate collaborative and concurrent working for shorter leadtimes and higher efficiency, enabling companies to offer higher quality products to their customers, faster and at lower cost.
Links to third party software have been extended and both systems will offer an optional interface to advanced planning and scheduling (APS) systems, including those offered by Preactor and Ortems, enabling users to export projects for finite and infinite capacity planning and then re-import the results. For toolrooms or manufacturing departments within larger companies, optional interfaces with other ERP systems are available and the new V3 release will be SAP certified.
Quality control capabilities, standard in WorkPlan Enterprise and an optional module in MyWorkPlan, have been further enhanced in the V3 solutions to include the monitoring of scheduled maintenance and recalibration of inspection and measuring equipment. Sescoi has also enabled remote database access – allowing managers to check job status and performance of one or several sites where the software is installed.
Version 3 includes a pack of more than 60 standard reports that can be easily customised by the customer, thereby reducing implementation time.
