Cadman-OEE Software analyses equipment effectiveness
1 min read
LVD's Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) module for its Cadman family of offline software provides a means to analyse equipment performance in order to fully optimise efficiency and productivity.
It provides analysis in simple, easy-to-understand graphical charts and uses an intuitive presentation of shop floor information to help systematically improve the production process by increasing uptime and throughput by closely monitoring machine availability, performance (theoretical cycle time versus real cycle), and quality.
Cadman-OEE is an extension of LVD's Cadman offline software, a PC-based CAD/CAM system that operates on a Windows platform. Cadman is designed to streamline the fabricating process through a single, complete offline system for the design, unfolding, punching, laser cutting and bending of sheet metal parts. Cadman-OEE provides an added integration module to measure equipment effectiveness for a variety of sheet metalworking machinery, laser, punching and bending including non-LVD machinery (additional drivers required).
The LVD Group is a leading manufacturer of a comprehensive range of sheet metal/plate working machine tools and software solutions, including laser cutting systems, punch presses, press brakes, guillotine shears and mid-level automation systems, integrated and supported by its Cadman software.
