Metalworking
Catch process drift early and keep production and maintenance in step.
A machine shop loses more than the rejected part when process drift is discovered at final inspection. Material, machine time and labor have already been committed, while the production and maintenance records often provide little warning.
Phasis combines live production events, in-process measurements, tooling usage and maintenance history so teams can respond earlier.
Operational challenges
- Output and downtime are entered after the shift.
- Schedule changes circulate as new spreadsheet versions.
- Capacity decisions rely on manually assembled estimates.
- Dimensional drift is detected at final inspection.
- Punch and fixture life is tracked separately from use.
- Reliability measures are reconstructed from maintenance records.
What you get
- Current production performance based on events recorded at the line.
- One controlled schedule for planning and production.
- Capacity constraints visible before new work is committed.
- Control-rule warnings while the process can still be corrected.
- Tool life calculated from the number of parts actually produced.
- MTBF and MTTR calculated from completed maintenance jobs.
A practical starting point
Begin with the workflows that address the most important operational priorities, then expand on the same plant model.
Production & OEE
See production performance while the shift is still running.
Scheduling
Keep planning and production working from one current schedule.
Capacity Planning
Know where capacity will run short before you commit to demand.
In-Process & SPC
Detect process drift while there is still time to protect the batch.
Tools & Fixtures
Track tool life by actual use and confirm readiness before production.
Maintenance (CMMS)
Make planned maintenance predictable and give every repair the history behind it.
The rules you work under
Most machine shops hold ISO 9001, and shops supplying automotive or aerospace add IATF 16949 or AS9100 on top of it. Phasis holds the process charts, the gauge calibration status and the maintenance history those audits ask to see.
