DPMS
DPMS is LPS (Linear Pallet System) operating software that enables efficient part setup and machining using the LPS system to achieve customers’ production schedules.
When the customer enters parts and production scheduling information in the DPMS, the software schedules the machining order and brings pallets to the setup station according to customers’ priorities. If the customer sets up parts in the pallet, the pallet is carried to the machine to enable machining.
If the machine is filled with pallets - a stand-by facility at the buffer station is available. Additionally, the DPMS can be used to monitor whether the system is operating effectively and efficiently.
