Factory architecture
WIS, material flow and machine cells
CONNECTED SHEET-METAL PRODUCTION
Machine Data and IoT
Define the machine signals, monitoring requirements and interfaces for your production system.
Physical flow
Storage, loading, cutting and forming
Before acceptance
Interfaces, safety, exceptions and production tests
Factory inputs
Start With Your Production Flow
Define the orders, materials, equipment and production decisions the system must coordinate.
01 / DEMAND
Orders and scheduling
Provide order sources, product mix, batch sizes, priorities, due dates, changeover and the decisions the system must support.
02 / MATERIAL
Inventory and handoffs
Define sheet formats, storage, replenishment, loading, remnants, sorting, finished parts and manual recovery.
03 / SYSTEM
Equipment and data
List machines, controllers, modules, protocols, users, plant systems, cybersecurity and acceptance records.
CONNECTED PRODUCTION ARCHITECTURE
From Order to Finished Part
Choose the machines, modules and interfaces needed for your factory. Confirm their capacity and operating conditions.
WIS and Order Orchestration
Define order import, scheduling, dispatch, status and priority changes, plus the relationship to MES/ERP/WMS.
Storage and Inventory Locations
Define pallet locations, payload, replenishment, return material and manual-access states.
Sheet Separation and Loading
Select pickup zones, separation checks, surface protection and recovery for each material and format.
Cutting, Nesting and Remnants
Connect one exact laser host with task files, nesting, status, unloading, remnants and scrap handling.
Transfer and Robotic Bending
Map identification, pickup, reorientation, tool/program selection, bending, inspection and exceptions for the part family.
Panel Bending and Future Cells
Treat panel bending, AGV, sorting and added machines as separately approved modules with explicit interlocks and data ownership.
FACTORY OPERATING CONDITIONS
Define the Normal Flow and the Recovery Plan
A connected factory is ready when low stock, double sheets, alarms, remnants, stops, restarts and data failures have clear actions and owners.
- Included machines and physical handoffs
- Data fields, protocols and system ownership
- Guards, access, stop, recovery and manual fallback
- Acceptance cycle with real orders, parts and records
Factory decisions
Configure the System for Your Factory
The architecture is modular; interfaces, capacities, cycle time and unattended operation are determined by the site design.
Available architecture
Order, material and machine coordination
The solution links WIS-based production planning with modular storage, loading, cutting, sorting and bending cells.
Configured for your factory
Layout, capacity and interfaces
Select host models, storage, loaders, robots, software modules, protocols, site utilities, guarding and recovery for the real factory.
Acceptance with real orders
Test the complete flow before handover
Test representative orders, materials, handoffs, exceptions, manual fallback, data records and agreed outputs before handover.
BEFORE YOU CONTACT ADH
Smart-Factory Questions
A useful proposal starts with the target flow, included modules, interfaces, site constraints and acceptance tests.
Can ADH start with one cell?
Yes, when the first cell and its future handoffs are defined; later expansion is a separate decision.
What information should I send?
Send order examples, product mix, material formats, layout, equipment, target flow, shifts, output goals, software systems, safety constraints and representative exceptions.
Does WIS replace MES, ERP or WMS?
WIS does not automatically replace MES, ERP or WMS. Define ownership of orders, inventory, programs, status, quality records and users, then agree interfaces.
What should the quotation clarify?
Name every machine/module, software function, interface, utility, guarding, fallback, installation task, acceptance test, training and support responsibility.
