JETCAM Launches Composite Material Life Management Software
 TERRASSES
DU PORT, Monaco, Mar 20, 2009 - JETCAM International s.a.r.l. today
announced the launch of its Material Life Management (MLM) software for
composite materials.
The software, a part of JETCAM's Application Server system, provides complete
tracking of material life, from delivery of the initial roll(s), to cutting
plies, followed by kitting and lay up of the plies to become the final part.
Traditional methods of tracking composite material have almost always been
paper-based. It is typical for a paper form to be manually maintained to track
the time in and out of the freezer and this piece of paper travels with the roll
and then has to be duplicated for the kitted plies. Logs are maintained to
locate complete or partly used rolls, often over multiple locations. Such
paper-based methods are error-prone and take up significant staff time.
JETCAM MLM not only resolves all of these problems but also provides
real-time information to managers and operators such as time that a particular
material has been out of the freezer, material stock levels, material left on
each roll, material location and expiry date, etc. The possibility for error is
virtually eradicated as once input, the information is carried through the
system electronically, and is being constantly updated to reflect the real
remaining life of the material. It is also environmentally friendly as it
drastically reduces paper usage.
Entering information is much faster than existing manual methods due to
minimal human interaction requirement, using simplified input methods such as
touch screens or barcode readers. Material is booked in and out of storage
within seconds, providing full life traceability from roll to ply to finished
part.
MLM utilizes JETCAM's Application Server, a relational and highly
customizable database structure which has several modules spanning all areas of
composite manufacturing. MLM can be used in conjunction with any other
Application Server modules to deliver an overall manufacturing management
solution.
Martin Bailey, Marketing Manager for JETCAM International s.a.r.l. commented;
"MLM creates an extremely fast return on investment not only by minimizing time
spent logging the required information but also in drastically reducing the
scrapping of material that is expired or where the true expiry date is unknown."
