T-FLEX Technology. Management of technological preparation of production.

T-FLEX Technology is an automation system for technological preparation of production, a fully integrated application of the T-FLEX DOCs PDM system.

The system makes it possible to organize a single information and reference space for process and design engineers—the product structure and the developed technologies are stored in a common database. Mechanisms for routing documents and managing the design process make it possible to describe typical transfers of documents between performers and automate most routine actions.

Key features:

• Development of processes for the manufacture of parts and assembly units, creation of route, route-operational and operational processes;
• Creation of technological documentation in full compliance with unified system for technological documentation;
• Organization of collective work with design-technological and normative-reference information;
• Compilation of a process from prototypes, creation of libraries of prototypes of technological processes and their fragments;
• Maintaining all necessary technological guides;
• Search for any technological information, selection of processes and equipment according to specified conditions;
• Calculation of time and material standards;
• Protection of technological information and differentiation of access rights to this information;
• Control of the readiness of processes, automated coordination and approval.

T-FLEX Technology system supports various design methods:

• Dialogue design using technological databases;
• Design based on analog process technology;
• Design of group and standard processes;
• Design of general processes;
• Automatic design using the library of technologies.

Key benefits:

• Automatic tracking of the status of work on each process, automated coordination and approval of stages;
• Reducing design errors level through integration with T-FLEX CAD (use data directly from electronic models and design system drawings);
• Significant acceleration and simplification of the preparation of working documentation;
• Creation of a unified information and reference space, reduction of terms of technological preparation of production;
• Product quality assurance.
