Lot sizes are becoming ever smaller, and jobs are becoming increasingly complex. As a result, it
is more and more difficult to react quickly to changes. To react quickly, you need an overview of
your production system in real time. How can you gain the necessary transparency?
Software solutions from TRUMPF will help you to program more effectively, increase your
machine utilization rate, and make the best possible use of your resources. You benefit from
clear and cost-effective processes, from the initial customer enquiry right through to delivery
of the finished parts.

Stay in the loop

The challenge of producing ever-smaller series with utmost flexibility can often result in a
hectic working pace and time pressure. This also increases the risk of errors. Using digital
networking, you can take steps to address this by making your order management transpar-
ent. The TruTops Fab Quickjob Module enables you to control your production and manage
all production orders. Your machines follow the production plan automatically and regularly
report the order status. As a result, you avoid errors and delays while staying in the loop at
all times.
Control production orders

Generate production orders automatically from the ERP/PPC system, or Excel. A plausibility check
ensures that the orders are complete.
Create nesting jobs and NC programs

Programming systems such as TruTops Boost, allow you to automatically generate nesting jobs and
NC programs, using existing production orders.
Keep an eye on workstations and machines

You can see the operating status of your workstations and machines in the production overview at
all times – by request the system will also inform you of problems via e-mail or text message.
Separate parts graphically

A useful function for 2D laser machines is that the TruTops Fab Quickjob Module marks parts from

42 Products – Track&Trace Software
Do away with searching

How much time do your employees lose searching for orders and items on the shop floor? Say
good-bye to expensive search times with Track&Trace, the intelligent indoor localization system
for your production. After all, many customers want to know the status of their order at all
times – just like they are used to from shopping online.
How Track&Trace works

Track&Trace is an indoor localization solution based on
ultra-wide band technology (UWB). It determines the position
of the markers three-dimensionally, through satellites in the
room using radio. The included software makes the informa-
tion immediately available to the operator. The markers can be
added to parts stacks, or attached to charge carriers or forklift
trucks. This allows you to follow urgent orders in real time, for
example.
Track&Trace starter kit

Get started easily with the Track&Trace starter kit, which
contains 12 satellites, 50 markers including charging station
and mounting set as well as a pre-installed industrial com-
puter. If you have a larger hall, you can simply expand the
starter kit.
