The integrated production planning system MIDIS^® (Management Information Diagnostic Indication System) is designed to manage set-points and parameters for fully automated production across all areas of forging plants. This system seamlessly synchronizes machines within a production line, such as furnaces, shears, and presses, and is compatible with non-SMS equipment and various transport vehicles, providing a holistic management solution.

By utilizing SMS technology tools, MIDIS^® generates optimized production and transport instructions, significantly enhancing operational efficiency. As a state-of-the-art web application, it offers modularity and flexibility, allowing it to adapt to specific production requirements. The system includes workplace-specific Human-Machine Interfaces (HMIs) for enhanced usability and employs a unified database, increasing awareness of plant efficiency and production scenarios. 

This makes MIDIS^® an ideal solution for manufacturers aiming to optimize processes and maintain a competitive advantage.

Interruptions

MIDIS^® enhances productivity by precisely tracking and analyzing interruption times. It automatically logs start and stop times from the PLC, allowing users to assign reasons from a predefined list for clear and accurate documentation.

Tool management and order history

This feature focuses on extending tool lifespan by tracking usage and storing tool change times. Users select tools from a predefined list for each production run, while the system automatically records production metrics like billet count, weight, and length.

Materials and alloys

MIDIS^® standardizes production with harmonized alloys, storing machine-specific parameters for each alloy, such as cooling and saw settings, to ensure consistent quality and efficient processes.
