CADMAN v8.7 from LVD monitors order from raw material to finished part

LVD has released CADMAN v8.7, the latest update of its software suite, which introduces several key features, including the ability to integrate foreign operations such as tapping, chamfering, deburring, grinding, and painting. It also includes updates for the CADMAN-JOB manufacturing execution system; CADMAN-SDI smart drawing importer; punching, laser cutting, and bending; and Touch-i4 (sort and validate).

This update allows the software to control, monitor, and log an order from raw material to finished part. Foreign operations are visible in the MES overview screen and can be tracked and traced in the production process for real-time transparency.

The software also provides a real-time interface between ERP and sheet metal production. The ERP system transfers work orders to the MES for processing. In turn, the MES provides ERP with a real-time order status. The order’s progress through production can be tracked in both systems.
