    ProLeiS – the MES for die and mold manufacturing

    ProLeiS is MES software for die and mold manufacturing. Our experts have specially modified the planning and control functions to meet the requirements of medium-sized manufacturing companies and single-part manufacturing. The software is modular and adapts to company-specific processes and maps them digitally throughout.

    With an MES (manufacturing execution system), companies improve manufacturing processes and increase production capacity through efficient planning, control and evaluation of manufacturing orders.

    Specialists, machines and suppliers must be integrated and coordinated in manufacturing processes so that budgets are adhered to and assured quality and deadlines are met. ProLeiS MES provides the software platform to achieve this.

    Since 1999, ProLeiS software development has been closely aligned with the requirements of automotive manufacturers – especially die and mold manufacturers – and has been conducted in a close collaboration with research. This allows us to unite the latest trends with the continuously growing demands of the die and mold manufacturing industry.

    ProLeiS helps you optimally utilize resources, manufacture on time and reduce costs.

    Efficient single-part manufacturing...

    ...planning

    Pre-planning gives you an initial overview of the required time, resources and deadlines.

    The backbone of all manufacturing planning is the bill of materials. Once it has been imported, manufacturing managers use it to plan orders – from data input to assembly of the equipment. 

    ...control

    For better manufacturing control, ProLeiS also integrates information from other existing systems for procurement, tools, logistics and NC programs – for optimal job management

    The user sees the next steps for each resource – for better workflow control. A release system ensures processing in the correct sequence.

     

    ...evaluation

    Feedback from manufacturing in the form of real-time data ensures an accurate overview of manufacturing status. It also enables fast responses to unscheduled events. 

    ProLeiS then generates statistics and provides key manufacturing performance indicators for evaluation.

    ProLeiS therefore improves transparency in manufacturing and the profitability of the entire company.

    What do companies use MES software for?

    Companies use MES software (manufacturing execution system) to improve their manufacturing processes and to increase production capacity through efficient planning, control and evaluation of manufacturing orders. The key: Everyone works in a single system that actively supports them in performing their tasks.

    The MES also uses business information (like information from an ERP system) and manufacturing-related data from CAX and PDM systems. The entire company benefits:

    • Shop: Manufacturing designers and NC programmers work with current digital data that the machine operators receive directly on the machines. Workflows are coordinated and stored in ProLeiS.
    • Manufacturing managers: have a detailed overview of processes, status and material use in real time. They can respond quickly and specifically to faults and changes. They can reliably and effectively plan new orders.
    • Business management: receives key performance indicators for monitoring efficiency. Continuous evaluations from historical and current data provide the foundation for investment decisions.
