For manufacturers using the simple pallet automation systems like Flexible Pallet Container and Flexible Pallet Tower, Fastems is introducing a new single-screen user interface with drag-and-drop pallet ordering, and a new MMS EasyRoute function that allows the operator to bring entirely new workpieces into production in under one minute. This feature also comes with a Route library, where the production manager can easily save the new routes for convenient later use.

In addition, for the manufacturers that do not produce purely based on customer orders, there is a new Order Generator that automatically creates production orders based on rules defined by the user. For instance, the system can automatically maintain a certain stock level or produce a recurring batch at regular intervals. This feature helps improve the production planners’ daily work when the order generation can easily be automated.

Watch the video for a detailed demonstration of how these features function on the MMS8.
