The Connected Shop: Why Traditional ERP Fails Sheet Metal & How to Bridge the Gap
Traditional ERP systems struggle to meet the specific demands of sheet metal fabrication, leading to inefficiencies in material tracking, job scheduling, and production workflows. These systems are not designed to handle dynamic nesting, remnant management, or machine-level optimization, creating costly bottlenecks. A solution built for fabrication, bridges this gap by integrating CAD/CAM, automating workflows, and providing real-time data visibility. This session will examine the limitations of traditional ERP in sheet metal operations and explore how an industry-specific connected solution enhances efficiency, reduces waste, and improves production agility. Attendees will gain insight into key requirements and practical steps to enable a seamless, optimized manufacturing process.
