Level 3: Batching, Machine Scheduling, Tracking, Reporting, 2-way ERP/MRP Integration

Track materials, material life, orders, nests, plies/components and kits - all in real time.

CrossTrack is an Enterprise CAM system providing real-time data on material inventory, part manufacturing status, machine production queue, and shop floor manufacturing of all parts and materials relative to the machines that your JETCAM system addresses.

CrossTrack is compatible to any JETCAM environment, whether composite or sheet metal fabrication, and regardless of automation level.

For Composite Manufacturers:

1) Track all materials and parts from receipt of roll through the auto-clave in a totally paperless environment with complete traceability.

2) Track all in/out freezer time of all plies, parts, and materials.

3) Provides a mechanism to integrate a static nest environment with nest-to-order, and delivers a powerful toolset for using raw materials in the most optimized manner.

For Sheet metal Manufacturers:

1) Leverage your JETCAM database of stored nests with real-time MRP integration, effectively queueing orders for desired machines, and determining which parts to nest or program dynamically.

2) Provides a real-time view into part status.

3) Allocate time and material costs per nest, per real-time data, integrated with ERP/MRP.

CrossTrack was developed to resolve the complex issue of managing orders, materials, nests, parts/plies and kits. Traceability, especially in aerospace is critical - CrossTrack delivers complete traceability, giving complete visibility from the initial material, tracking the order, all individual elements, and through to the finished part. Companies using CrossTrack benefit from a massive reduction in the reliance on paper, much greater accuracy, as once entered information is carried electronically through the system, and real time access to live order, material and nest data across the network.

Whether management, engineering, or manufacturing staff need to check the remaining life of a given material, queue orders for nesting, check machine availability or build comprehensive reports; CrossTrack provides a single point of reference for all manufacturing data. With the tight integration into the award-winning JETCAM Expert CAM and Nesting system it also produces and manages highly optimized static or dynamic nests.

CrossTrack is a .NET application using standard relational database technology and enables integration to and from JETCAM with surrounding software systems such as ERP/MRP, Shop Floor, and MES.
