Hexagon’s Workplan software connects tools to automate planning, production for fabrication

- Automation and Software
New manufacturing project management software from Hexagon’s Manufacturing Intelligence Division enables sheet metal fabricators to connect data from planning, quoting, and manufacturing systems to help improve decision-making and productivity. By connecting with CAM systems, the software helps production shops automate planning and production processes, from determining material usage and production time estimation to optimizing processes and sheet metal nesting strategies, from a single dashboard.
The software, called Workplan, eliminates manual data entry by making it possible to repurpose existing job quotation data to begin projects rapidly and provide an overview of job requirements so production teams can track projects throughout planning and production. Its centralized inventory database oversees supply needs, simplifying the management of materials and supplier information, and enables users to order materials directly from the system’s interface.
Connecting the manufacturing project management system with CAM systems enables manufacturers to analyze production needs quickly and manage downstream activities by eliminating manual data entry and capturing proprietary information.
