The basis of the planning is the time grid with a calendar and work shifts. In addition to this, there are the plants with all of the production units. Scheduled production areas or the blocking of areas as a result of maintenance measures can be arbitrarily indicated.

Configuring the production areas.

The configuration of the production areas and the time classification takes place from the order lists, which can be sorted according to delivery, production or assembly unit. The re-grouping of such lists is conveniently feasible. In specialist precast part construction, the production manager will directly select and place the precast parts from the graphic display, while rotating the part and putting it in the ideal location with millimetre-precision.

Otherwise, the user marks the parts and lays them on the formwork tables. With this, it does not matter whether these are ceiling elements, wall elements or structural precast parts. Long beds are configured fully automatically, tables and pallets, semi automatically. The degree of configuration is displayed and if the result is not good enough, or if changes are necessary, you can conveniently modify the configuration.

A series of helpful functions, laying as if by visual judgement, laying precisely and down to the millimetre or latching in a precast part, support the work effectively. Using drag & drop, the parts can also be “shifted”, to another table or another plant. It is also checked whether parts collide. In doing so, a mixed configuration, different orders and element types, are naturally possible.

Creating data for the production.

What you see is what you get. The way the elements lay on the production areas, the production data are now created (unidata); you do this by element or by pallet. Whether it involves circulating systems or laser projection in specialist precast parts construction, the handling is the same.
