Epicor Advanced Manufacturing Execution System is designed for plastic molders, manufacturers who use repetitive processes and those who have an assembly process that involves multiple machines. It is designed to assist floor operators in monitoring and optimizing their plant operations.
Advanced MES helps manufacturers monitor their business and control it with real-time information on plant and machinery. The system allows users to identify inefficient allocations of resources to find new capacity for the business. It can also be used to record machine downtime, scrap and material waste in each production cycle.
The software provides real-time monitoring of processes, scheduling in real time and visibility into operations. Users can view production details and descriptors and monitor up to 100,000 cycles. Maintenance teams can access machine condition reports for planning preventive maintenance. Advanced MES integrates accounting and manufacturing estimating capability.

Digimat-AM
Digimat-AM is a software solution offered by Digimat that provides simulation capabilities for the additive manufacturing process, enabling both printer manufacturers and end-users to detect potential manufacturing challenges. Additionally, it fine-tunes printing parameters to enhance productivity and optimize the performance of the final product before the initial print is made. By leveraging numerical simulation, users can significantly reduce the number of trials needed, transforming complex testing into just a few clicks. This powerful tool equips engineers with the ability to simulate various processes, including FFF, FDM, SLS, and CFF, for both unfilled and reinforced materials. It also forecasts potential issues such as warpage, residual stresses, and the microstructure that may arise during printing. Furthermore, Digimat-AM facilitates the analysis of the intertwined thermal and structural responses in both types of polymers, ensuring that the correct manufacturing settings are established for precise printing. Ultimately, this innovative solution serves to connect the intricacies of the printing process with material properties and the performance of the final parts produced.

Netfabb
Netfabb® software offers robust features for preparing builds, enhancing designs for additive manufacturing, simulating metal printing processes, and organizing CNC post-processing. Users can import models from numerous CAD formats and utilize repair features to swiftly fix any issues. To ensure models are ready for production, adjustments can be made to wall thicknesses, surface roughness, and other characteristics. The software identifies support necessities, allowing users to generate support structures with semi-automated tools. It also facilitates the conversion of organic, free-form mesh files into boundary representation models, which can be exported in formats like STEP, SAT, or IGES for CAD applications. Furthermore, 2D and 3D packing algorithms help arrange parts efficiently within the build volume. Custom reports can be created to encompass essential manufacturing and quoting details, while users can formulate build strategies and set toolpath parameters to optimize surface quality, part density, and processing speed. This comprehensive suite makes it easier for manufacturers to streamline their workflows and improve production efficiency.
