AVIX SMED

SMED software for setup time reduction in manufacturing

Single minute exchange of die

Reduce set-up time and produce more! Faster and more efficient set-up results in less downtime & increased productivity.

Consider the optimal set-up as a pit-stop in Formula-1. It is performed quick and correct. SMED is one of the many lean production methods for reducing waste in a manufacturing process.

  • Number of set-up operators can be varied and optimized
  • Easy to see the effect of adding operators
  • Intuitive approach to the lean manufacturing SMED principle

Intuitive

AVIX SMED provides a very intuitive approach to the SMED principle within lean production, i.e. no special skills are required. This facilitates the work with more in-depth analysis of the internal set-up with possibility to find the best work method. Standard Time setting also makes it possible to simulate the proposed improvements to get an idea of the outcome in increased productivity.

Internal & External activities

Filming of the setup eliminates the risk of missing important issues in the analysis. The analysis in AVIX SMED is quickly created even at long (> 1hr) set-ups and provides direct separation in internal and external set-up. The film also facilitates communication within improvement groups and with other areas in your organization.

Multiple resources

The simple handling of various resources, allowing several operators to work in parallel with different tasks, makes it possible to analyze set-ups with multiple machines. With built-in logic, tasks starting or ending before another task can be separated. It also becomes easy to see the time spent on various tasks and see the actual time of the necessary tasks and problems.

Frequently
asked
questions

Can AVIX SMED handle complex setups involving multiple operators and machines?

Yes, AVIX SMED can handle very complex structures of machines and operators working at the same time. Once the setup has been documented and classified as internal or external, we visualize the full setup in a Gantt chart with operators and machines with the individual dependencies between the tasks. This way we can generate complete setup instructions for each individual operator, letting everyone know where to work, with what, how, and when in time.

Is AVIX SMED customizable to specific production processes?

Yes, AVIX SMED is really flexible when it comes to setting up the structure of machines and operators in various production processes. If there is a need, we can also customize the setup instructions to be printed on the template used by each individual company, or use the standard template included.
