Program Memory

Comfortably compile your corrugator schedule

The Program Memory lets the planner put the corrugator runs into the desired sequence. An automatic pre-sort can be refined manually, with control over the minutest detail. When the right sequence is established, PC-Topp computes the starting time for each run and thus knows the time at which each order comes off the corrugator. Step by step, the ongoing production slowly replaces these theoretical times by actual times (and fills in the actual meters). If the corrugator loses time (or runs faster than expected), then the predicted starting times for the rest of the schedule are adapted automatically, informing Planning as well as Production in real time.

The Program Memory page offers a well structured view of the program memory which shares the clarity of the corresponding classical program but is more convient to scan. Moreover, the scope of colors for marking production status is extended so that the order information displayed is more differentiated. In the combinations view, the combinations are color coded as well, highlighting their production status more clearly than in the classical program memory. Additionally the combinations view supplies direct links to order information.
