Electronic Process Control

Use Your Engineering Data to Efficiently Direct Fabrication Processes

MAXIMIZE TIME FOR MACHINE AND OPERATOR VALUE-ADDED TASKS

With BUILDGUIDE digital process control suite, your engineers easily generate a bill of process (BOP) and electronic work instructions that your operators follow with unparalleled efficiency and accuracy — usually from familiar smart mobile devices that keep your team at the tool, adding value.

WHAT IS ELECTRONIC PROCESS CONTROL?

A feature of Aligned Vision systems unique to our industry, electronic process control is more than a simple digitization of paper work instructions and travelers. This software suite enables your engineers to drag-and-drop non-layup steps into the ply schedule. Then it puts power in your operators’ hands to move efficiently through all fabrication steps, consult detailed instructions, and complete buyoffs — all without stepping away from the tool.

Eliminates paper from the shop floor

  • Electronic work instructions, including both layup and non-layup steps, replace paper work instructions
  • Electronic sign-in and buyoff track team members working on each piece
  • Automatic data collection and digital archiving eliminates paper traveler recording time and inaccuracies

Eliminates costly interaction with the control computer

  • Operators advance to the next process step without stepping away from the tool
  • Eliminated step-away time accumulates quickly into real cycle time reductions
  • Potential distractions during step-away time are eliminated, keeping operators on task

Makes work instructions and graphics fully accessible where they are needed

  • Tablets and/or smartphones provide full operator control of the fabrication steps
  • Projection system tracks fabrication sequence so operators don’t have to
  • Mobile device guides operator through full step completion (e.g. full vacuum and time for debulks)
