Seiki celebrates anniversary with launch of NMS 2012 core shopfloor production module

Seiki Systems is launching NMS 2012 to celebrate its 20th anniversary. The special edition of its core shopfloor production management system module draws upon the company's 20 years' experience of working with manufacturing organisations and technologies. Seiki describes NMS 2012 as "the culmination of valuable contributions from customers and partners that have informed the design and functionality enhancements of earlier versions, to make daily tasks easier and faster for users to perform".

Stability and reliability are critical when it comes to managing manufacturing data so while Seiki has focused on delivering a brand new user interface, NMS 2012 retains compatibility with previous versions of the software and customer data. NMS 2012 is written in the latest .NET development framework and features a databased data collection module, interactive and configurable live resource status and machine utilisation, and an OEE and analysis module. NMS 2012 is designed to facilitate closer integration between the shopfloor as a critical element in the business planning process and top floor business intelligence systems such as ERP, MRP and APS. Seiki is taking its largest stand ever at MACH 2012 where NMS 2012 will be demonstrated live on the latest Senor industrial touchscreen PCs. Visitors will be able to see how Seiki integrates NMS with its finite capacity Scheduler and ERP modules to create a complete 'shopfloor to top floor' manufacturing solution.
