Commercial services - Online orders
KmProd scheduling gives your commercial department the neccesary monitoring
tools to check that production and delivery deadlines agreed upon with other
business units and clients are met. This will reassure your clients and will be one of
your major sales thus constituting a major sales argument.
KmProd offers an online ordering service for your customers. Orders are then
directly integrated into the KmProd system. Thus, you can offer your customers
reliable tracking solutions for their merchandise, as well as help them meet instant
deadlines.
Production planning / Dashboard
KmProd is interfaced and synced with your ERP, from which all the
necessary data is retrieved. It therefore allows multiple approvals for
your offices including:
• A complete IS system
• Production planning
• Analytical Dashboards to measure your performance
• Production scheduling
• An item database
• Shipment management
• Machine planning
• Nomenclature
The production schedule is recalculated according to customer orders
to generate deadlines / screens.
Supply Chain
KmProd allows the traceability of supplies at all scales:
Each billet is entered in the database and its position in
real time is visible on the application. KmProd helps
forecast and plan future supply needs based on
production. This effectively saves time as well as enables
a more fluid production process by limiting the storage of
billets.
Stocks
Our tool makes it possible to easily manage stocks by ensuring
a simple traceability of billets, according their suppliers, alloys,
castings, etc. It also enables you and your team to manage in real
time the filling of the various storage yards.
The calculation of your supply needs by KmProd is performed by
taking into account your planned production. Thus it allows a more
effective and fluid storage process. As we all know, a part that has
been ordered too early needs to be stored for too long, resulting in
a useless and costly waste of time and space.
Kiln Management
KmProd is connected to your workshop equipment and can
give oven heating instructions.
It allows an analysis of the performance of the use of the ovens,
in order to achieve energy savings by optimizing the heating
time based on planned production.
Billet Cutting
KmProd integrates an industrial intelligence module called
OptiPress which makes it possible to determine and calculate
the aluminum spinning instructions, and which optimizes the
cutting from the first cut of the billets.
It thus allows a reduction in rejects, and in the processing time.
It therefore allows savings at all scales !

KmEnergy saves energy.
The tool shows where energy is lost.
• Water leak
• Heat loss
• Air conditioning
• Co2
• Overconsumption of electricity
Detection performed via machine learning algorithms
and analysis of energetic performance.
R&D
KmProd generates feedback that is essential for quality
control and its improvement in research and development
services.
Thus the data collected makes it possible to generate
statistics useful for the creation of future products and services.
Summaries and reports can be easily issued to accompany
the orientation resulting from the field feedback.
Workshop Management
KmProd generates pending production orders, production history
and events on a dedicated screen for your workshop's staff and
operators. They can also see their performance.
KmProd allows the operator to know where it is in production and
what to do.
The machine screen allows real-time supervision of machine
operation, as well as the implementation of preventive
maintenance to save time.
Quality control and rejects
KmProd makes it possible to limit rejects by optimizing offcuts
during cutting, and by automating quality control. But also to
analyze the quality performance (quality synthesis).
The rejects which are therefore limited and may be recycled
more easily, which allows savings at all levels.
Management of the income furnace
KmProd connects to the workshop equipment and can
give instructions for heating the furnaces.
It allows an analysis of the performance of the use of the
furnaces, in order to achieve energy savings by optimizing
time of heating according to the planned production.
Subcontractor management
Our solution allows a simplified management of
contractors (logistics and / or industrial subcontracting).
The products are traceable throughout the process and
the organization is improved which saves time, lower losses,
and organized storage of finished or semi-finished products.
Container management
KmProd integrates a container management module enabling
real time efficient localization.
Each container is weighed to ensure that the content is the right
one, the characteristics of the profiles are directly associated with
the tool and are visible on the screen.
Avoiding errors will save time and improve your organizational
processes.
Equipment
KmProd allows you to forecast and plan which accessories
and equipment are going to be used in production.
This optimizes the load on the production line and saves
time for future operations.
Anodization
KmProd anodization makes it possible to manage what
type of product will be used for the anodization of the
profiles.
Based on Machine Learning and the industrial
intelligence algorithms developed by KmProd, the
anodization schedule optimizes deadlines and
increases productivity.
Lacquering
KmProd lacquering makes it possible forecast which type of
paint will be used to optimize the process and thus save time.
The lacquering schedule is organized by color shade, enabling
the optimiziation of the time allocated to the cleaning of cabins :
for example the light tones in one cab and the dark ones in the
other, the two cabins are therefore never cleaned at the same time!
This makes it possible to maximize the lacquering time of the profiles.
Camera Labeling
A camera recognition system identifies the shape of
the incoming profile, the correct label can then be
stuck on the product.
The error rate is drastically reduced thanks to process
automation, which also leads to significant increase
in performance.
Packaging
KmProd simplifies your production packaging process
thanks to a dedicated module.
A workshop screen allows the operator to know exactly
the stage his/her production process , what product is
to be made and how to pack it. The detailed vision of
the production process enables your team to identify
where improvement is needed to ensure the performance
possible.
The arrival of components from the same order is planned,
to avoid stocking products on site and to promote the
almost immediate shipment of orders.
Shipping and weighing
KmProd ensures the traceability of billet supplies until the
shipment of the profiles.
The management of the shipment is done by a schedule
shared with the transport subcontractor, which sends the
notifications to the customers who are waiting for their order.
The weighing of trucks before their departure can be carried
out to ensure a final check of the weight to avoid any errors
and save time.
