When others admire your modern tooling centers, they might be under the impression that you are filthy rich. But we know the truth about the vast labor costs, leasing installments and tools. Sometimes efficiency of just 4-5% higher than your competitors decides that the business is worth doing, and you don’t pay into it.
Together with the gems among Polish tool shops, we developed a production management system, which can get your company to the same great level as your tools, within just a few days and for a fraction of the implementation costs of ERP. On the one hand, we focused on controlling hundreds of components you have; on the other, we would like to give you complex proof data on products profitability and calculation.

We were looking for manufacturing software that is flexible and optimal for a tool shop. Prodio was the only choice, which fulfilled these criteria. In real-time, we can plan production and track the time spent on producing each element at different stages of the production process.

The employees register their real-time progress at the production hall. You can see with just one click, thanks to intelligent filters settings, the production stage of tens and hundreds of elements, which are components of a given produced tool—a quick overview of the order’s progress.
You can make real-time changes in the sequence of operations from any place in the world, and those changes will be displayed straight away in your production hall and visible to your employees. What’s more, it is easy and intuitive, so within a few hours, you will be able to find your way around better than in MS Excel, with the great advantage of Prodio being always up to date with actual production data.

If you don’t copy data from work cards and type it into Excel daily, you might not have the chance to catch up, and that delay can cause chaos and prevent a real-time reaction.
In Prodio, with one click of the magnifier tool on the list of orders, you can see clearly how long a particular operation took and how it corresponds with the preliminary time set for the project. This function can also motivate employees, as when they see their actual work progress, they can work harder to fit in a set time to earn their bonus – LINK.

When you add a new product to most production management systems, you have to divide it straight away into components and set technology – IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO DO IN PER UNIT PRODUCTION. Practically speaking, it takes a long time to change a customer’s request into a specific product consisting of different parts. In Prodio, without any problem, you can add component elements in the latter stages and complete technology and documentation – you can even – add up/change the structure during the production process (as the practice often dictates what and how is it going to be processed first). What’s more, if you treat “Technology Preparation” as one of the operations in the technological sequence, you will be able to account for technologists/programmers working time, and workers at the first machine will know whether they can proceed with their work as the documentation is ready. Learn how to make communication a the production hall better with operation predecessors.

Multielement products, as a form divided into smaller parts:
This is one of the most favourites ways of working with Prodio – it’s tested to help provide valuable data.
NOTE THAT YOU CAN ALSO IMPORT THE LIST OF ELEMENTS FROM MS EXCEL.
Together with technological guidelines (see how to do it), the cards can work as products ID cards and follow them through production. Some companies also use stickers generated directly from the software for particular form elements to make things more apparent.
When you use MS Excel exports, you should find interesting:
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:
As mentioned in the Tips section – the best way is to write the component element as a product and a completed product as the external order number. When you also register the assembly and mounting times, it is worth writing the main element apart from the list of features. Use the technology tab and set machines and their order as a default mode. Remember, you can duplicate products and prepare various types based on one well-prepared template.
Production plan – what can you set as machines/operations?
It is essential to divide to desktop panels (ex., every department can see its machines/operations) constructors/ programmers as separate machines. You can also add as machines the leading providers in co-operation – it will be apparent where the product got stuck when it’s not in-house.
Production plan – tips regarding displaying and planning
Choose a horizontal view in settings and divide it to separate production hall panels – click here.
Additional boxes worth adding for your branch:
Link to documentation in LAN network – if you have many large files and tons of documentation, you don’t wish to upload it to the cloud for safety reasons.
Additional TAG-s at the production hall and in the product categories
Types of mount/ processing. Names of more prominent component elements.
