Graitec Advance Workshop

Graitec Advance Workshop is an information system (MIS) of production management of metalwork which provides integration of all stages of a production cycle — from order value assessment before shipment of finished goods. The solution is suitable for manufacturing enterprises with any level of automation — from manual work before completely automated production.

Among important features of Graitec Advance Workshop there is flexible configuration on entrance files from the different systems of design, including Tekla Structures.

In the whole Advance Workshop allows to adjust management of warehouse stocks, the movement of parts, human resources, CNC machines and some other processes and thanks to it to achieve reduction of runtime of the order, cost minimization, performance improvement of the enterprise in general and control over production.

A system is closely integrated with BIM models and interacts with all departments of the enterprise, forming a uniform information and technology chain of production of metalwork.

Key features
