Implementation

The NC machines were networked to a software control panel and four touch screen monitors were installed in four different areas. In the first step of supply, the two systems were joined, then scrapped the old ones and entrusted all production management to Metronomo.Net, with the required modifications in progress.

The software has been customized following the company’s modus operandi: this has made it possible to reduce the impact on the organization and make the change gradual.

Interview with Mr. Carminati - Quality Manager

Mr. Carminati, can you describe your role within Emmebi Impianti Srl?

I prepare all the documentation necessary to start both paper and computer production, manage the launch of production and scheduling, follow the progress of the complete cycle of processing from raw material to finished product in stock. As quality manager, I also take care of all control plans and measurements in the metrology room together with a colleague.

What requirements have prompted you to consider adopting Metronomo.Net?

Integration and aggregation of information was the main reason. Before Metronomo.Net our information was disaggregated and their management took place in separate software programs, this had caused in a short time an exponential growth of production data, which were often duplicated unnecessarily. In addition, their consultation of history or design was not at all simple, Complicating our work considerably and for this reason the operations linked to the management of mechanical production suffered from a lack of information that a modern company should have instead easily accessible.

How long did the Software Selection last?

The choice was not easy, it lasted about 8 months, after which we decided to install Metronomo.Net as a solution for our company.

What are the reasons for your choices?

Important element for us is that MecMatica Srl as industrial software house is the owner of the source code of Metronomo.Net, this has therefore allowed us to customize the software following our business modus operandi, It is not a small thing that has greatly reduced the business impact and made the change gradual. In the first supply step, the two systems were in fact joined to scrap the old ones and entrust all the management of our production to Metronomo.Net with the modifications requested by us during the work.

Once the project has been confirmed to the Supplier, was the deadline met?

Enough, currently we still have small requests in progress that will implement soon, today after 1 year we use 70% of everything that Metronomo.Net offers us, but we would like to expand it further with new modules and custom features. From this point of view, although our company works on behalf of third parties, some of our IT requirements are in line with our best clients.

How many people from Emmebi Srl were involved during the implementation of the project?

Basically the undersigned as responsible and my colleague for quality.

How were the relations with MecMatica both on the commercial and technical side?

I would say good both technical and commercial side, of MecMatica we especially appreciated the "Problem Solving" and the fast response times to our requests even when complicated.

With the MES Metronomo.Net software installed, what significant differences did you notice?

The most important result is that today with "4 keys of the PC" I find immediately all the information that I need to manage the production, the data are uniform and immediately printable for the workshop, My work gains in efficiency and productivity, and the workshop travels controlled by a modern data collection system and production control on machines.

What benefits have been achieved in production management?

CN machines are all networked to a software control panel and we installed 4 Touch Screen monitors in 4 different areas, the system manages the operator declarations in electronic format with the RFID badge, All processing times are taken by the NC and managed in real time. This also helps my scheduling work because I have the immediate and aligned visibility of both machine tools and any available holes, usable for the saturation of work cycles on our different production departments.

In the light of Vs. direct experience, would you recommend MecMatica Srl as a supplier?

Yes, thanks to MecMatica we now have a modern work tool that allows us to aim at those business improvement goals that our Management requires all of us to be competitive.

I use Metronomo.Net in a constant and thorough way because it facilitates my work in various daily activities, with great time savings compared to before.
