10 ORDERS MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (MRP Nesting)
The Orders Management System (OMS) is a feature within NC Express that allows a
user to process production requirements in a more accurate and efficient manner.
OMS (Orders Database) can be used to nest parts from text file created that contains
all the part information to be nested. By having an order file of parts, the file can be
imported into the Orders Database to be nested instead of manually adding each part
to the nest dialog each time a nest needs to be created for an order. Once an order is
imported and ran from the OMS run folders pertaining to material type and
thicknesses are created automatically. This also allows integration with an MRP
system to achieve more accurate and efficient nesting of parts.
The following section will explore the Database Orders dialog as well as how to
operate.
10.1 Database Orders Dialog
Go to Database menu | select Orders. The Database Orders dialog will be displayed.
Tab Selection
Active Tab: Displays ordered parts as well as unfinished parts ordered. If
parts were not completely nested the remaining orders will stay in the active
side until nested.
Completed Tab: Once ordered parts are nested they will need to be
optimized and post processed in order to be ‘completed’. After the parts are
optimized and post processed the nests will need to be Accepted through the
Nest Explorer. The acceptance will move parts that are active to the
‘Completed’ tab.
Sorting
Machine combo-box: Allows user to select the machine that will be used. By
selecting the machine from the Machine combo-box, orders for the selected
machine, active or completed, will be displayed in either the Active or
Completed grid.
