Folders - Integrated Suite of Applications for Managing Information
CIMNET Folders is the most complete integrated suite of applications for managing information in any manufacturing environment. Wherever you use paper to transfer information in your facility, Folders now replaces it with instantaneous electronic communication over virtually any network with an easy- to-use, point-and-click interface.
Folders assembles electronic production information, such as engineering drawings, part programs, bills of materials, setup instructions, routing sheets, tooling lists, and SPC documentation into a single "electronic folder". Operators at the workstations can immediately access all the information necessary to do their jobs by clicking on a part number, work center ID, and operation. Essentially, any paperwork now being sent to the production floor can be transferred electronically. And, the flow of information to and from the work centers can be closely monitored to ensure that you are always making the best use of your equipment and manpower resources.
By delivering the most up-to-date information available to the work center when and where it is needed, Folders provides production management with true control over the work flow. Errors due to miscommunication, typically from outdated or misplaced paperwork, no longer happen. Downtime and scrapped parts are practically eliminated. Processes are optimized for increased capacity, consistency and quality. Operators can focus on the operation at hand rather than tracking down drawings, work orders, or other lost paper documents.
No two production environments are alike. CIMNET Folders is designed to integrate quickly and easily into your existing operation without disrupting current production. Our "open systems" approach supports standard operating systems including Windows 98®, Windows 95®, Windows NT® and Windows 2000® on most network operating systems. Companies that have automated their production scheduling processes with ERP or work flow systems can benefit tremendously by linking these systems with Folders. Folders works in conjunction with your current ERP/SCM systems to capitalize on the investments in both staff time and training. And, it can easily be integrated to most ERP systems through its open and documented databases.
