Features
CAMS (Computer Aided Manufacturing System) is software designed to detect, record, and collect all textile production progress.
CAMS operates in both automatic and semi-automatic / manual modes, making it an essential part of Datatex’s NOW ERP solution for textile and garment manufacturing.
With a user-friendly interface designed for the less computer-literate user and possibility to directly interface with various data collection devices, CAMS allows automatic capture of real time production progress by direct connection to machines or manual input by manufacturing teams to quickly enter production data in real time and keep their focus on maintaining high-quality and efficient manufacturing.
Datatex CAMS module, which operates as a MES platform (Manufacturing Execution System) monitors production and assists all manufacturing processes, from the picking of raw materials to the shipment of finished products.
CAMS is therefore the ideal tool for connecting the company’s apparel software with the shop floor activities.
In addition to the collection of production progresses, CAMS is used for managing stations such as weighing, labeling, packaging, and palletizing.
Thanks to its comprehensive functions, CAMS software significantly improves productivity through automatic machine stop detection, real-time reporting of production progress, operator and shift productivity recording, machine monitoring, and machine status supervision.
Datatex CAMS application is highly flexible and parameterizable, which is set up and tailored during the implementation phase to fit the business process requirement and to best suit its needs through a configuration tool, defining the screen layout and the functional flow of the application.
