Production management and displacing products software for SSHOES eu-project

The SSHOES project addresses the development and demonstration of new sustainable production capabilities for diabetic feet such as innovative robotized milling solutions for footwear and insoles components. To achieve this result, a specific software package has been realized to help the order management and planning, to organize and manage resources for a footwear production plant, as well as to dispatch specific CAM and production information.SSHOES Factory Platform is a software tool aimed at the management, organization and scheduled dispatching of production orders to shop floor automatized production facilities. Handled production orders range from single component manufacturing - addressing last and insoles - to the entire shoe production. Target production facilities include particularly robotized cells and milling units. The software performs the automatic retrieval of information and data related to pending production orders from central order repository - the so called SSHOES Register - by means of specific authenticated web services. Information retrieved is structured internally and stored locally, exploiting the concept of production orders, composed of several production lots. Each production lot addresses a specific item in a family of products, to be manufactured according to set deadlines and geometrical (last based) constraints
