About Factory Control Center | FCTR

Factory Control Center | FCTR complements the SAP-assisted product development process with CAM integration, complete tool data management in SAP, and detailed planning of tools and operating re-sources, connected to shop floor systems.

This allows the seamless organization in SAP even of processes like determining tool requirements, providing NC programs, and documenting correction data for the tool presetters. SAP standard objects such as Document, Material, Bill of Material, Equipment, Routing, and Production Resource are the basis of FCTR, and the solution supports all order-related processes in manufacturing.

One system centrally manages all of the relevant data, and automatically provides this data where necessary.

      Before the import process starts, the tool data is checked. For example, the “Standard Number”, “Description” and “cuttingedgediameter”.

      If the import was successful, the tool can be displayed on the “Classification” tab, and the DIN characteristics, such as the “cuttingedgediameter” can be checked again.

      A right mouse click on the UTC object opens the 3D model in the CAD environment.
