Tips and tricks for your industry

Check how to customize your new manufacturing software

Prepare product templates; all that is left to do later – fill out customised boxes.

To make your work faster, you can prepare gravestone templates in the software (ex., based on the models you offer).

Next in the settings, create additional order boxes, such as location, tombstone size, font – and while working on your next order, complete only the specific requirements and save time.

Attach tombstone photographs, visualisations, cutting patterns and files with imprints.

Make your employees work even faster and help them find among thousands of orders tombstones by adding their visualisations. 

You can also add cutting patterns, location photographs or graphic files, where you see an inscription and visuals.

Use printed production orders, even if you don’t use a bar code system

Cards with printed production technology (see how to do it) are great as product ID and can follow it – some companies use stickers generated directly from the software to make things more transparent and clear.

Use MS Excel for better analytics and make your work even more comfortable

When you use MS Excel exports, you should find interesting:

  • possibility of downloading the whole working history for particular elements,
  • total orders progress, including standards.

This combination allows getting any data regarding a form production/tools quickly. Furthermore, it is also possible to reverse the process by importing data.

What is best to write down and set as “product” in Prodio:

You can set a particular tombstone model, nest duplicate it and use it as a template. Adding a production technology is highly recommended.

Production plan – what can you set as machines/operations?

As you prefer, if you produce on a small scale, use mainly operations such as cutting or assembly. However, it is better to create separate dashboards for each production hall in larger companies and divide machines adequately.

Production plan – tips regarding displaying and planning

Choose a horizontal view in settings and divide it into separate production hall views – click here.

Additional boxes worth adding for your branch:

To product: Colour of tombstone Thickness Finishing To orders: graveyard number of the grave letters finishing

Additional TAG-s at the production hall and in the product categories

Primary colours to make tagging and grouping easier and tags for the saw.
