The Industrial Challenge

Disconnected Discrete Machines and Paper Job Routing Cards

In discrete manufacturing plants producing automotive parts, fabricated sheet metal, and machined components, physical machines operate disconnected from SAP production orders. Operators rely on printed routing sheets (travel cards) to set up machines and record completed parts with manual pen tallies.

Why Traditional Methods Fail:

Paper routing cards get soiled, misplaced, or filled out with inaccurate counts at the end of the shift. If a machine runs slower than standard routing cycle times, enterprise planners only find out after production falls short of weekly shipping targets.

Critical Pain Points Solved

  • Time wasted looking for physical job cards and interpreting handwritten operator notes
  • Risk of machining parts using outdated drawing revisions or wrong program numbers
  • Inability to track exact machine runtime vs idle time for specific production orders
  • Delayed reporting of defective parts leading to excessive scrap before the defect is caught

Technical Bottlenecks in Heterogeneous Automation

Discrete machining and stamping shops in industrial hubs like Manesar, Pune, and Faridabad juggle hundreds of active production orders daily. Without digital machine integration, tracking job status requires physical floor walks by expediters.

System Architecture

Digital Job Dispatch and Real-Time Machine Telemetry Synchronization

Our integration application connects SAP discrete production orders directly to machine PLCs and CNC controllers. When a production order is scheduled, the application delivers the part number, target count, CNC program ID, and tooling requirements directly to the machine HMI, while capturing cycle times and piece counts in real time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Technical and operational answers for plant managers and automation engineers.

Yes. Compiled Successfully integrates with both standard PLCs (Siemens, Rockwell, Delta) and CNC controllers (Fanuc FOCAS, Siemens Sinumerik, Mitsubishi, Haas, Heidenhain) using native industrial communication protocols.

The middleware checks the CNC program number specified in the SAP production order against the program currently active in the CNC controller memory. If there is a mismatch, the machine start permissive is withheld until corrected.

Yes. We support handheld or fixed barcode and 2D QR scanners connected to the machine interface, allowing operators to scan raw material bins to verify lot compatibility before downloading order setpoints.

Scrap can be logged via touch panel input by the operator or captured automatically from in-process touch probes, post-process gauging stations, or vision inspection systems linked to the controller.

Yes. For older machines lacking Ethernet ports, we install compact industrial I/O gateways that monitor cycle relays, spindle run signals, and counter pulses to provide digital order integration.
