2. Enterprise is the latest software from Metamation - it is a feature packed module
designed to help optimize your front end by helping reduce repetitive tasks from
importing / tooling / nesting and bending operations while giving you the added
benefits with revision and shop control, new operator kiosk screens to reduce the
paper flow, real time information with planning which is all packed together in a
highly visual, easy to use database driven system.
ENTERPRISE
3. Why use Enterprise?
Enterprise focuses on tools to save TIME and MONEY in your organization. Each feature
developed has been carefully designed to address bottlenecks and improve efficiency
while providing stakeholders with better visibility across their organization.
Who can benefit from Enterprise?
Enterprise is designed for small, medium and large organizations who have sheet metal
CNC machines - it does not matter if the company has just 1 or 10 machines, Enterprise
has several features that benefit companies of different sizes.

4. ► Enterprise can be used by the estimator or sales department to quickly program parts and
estimate the cutting time, material used and setup time needed for a job.
► The Enterprise server will program parts that need to be estimated automatically and
provide the user estimates for varying lot sizes - all this with a single click of a button.
► Create accurate quote reports that can be used in your ERP/MRP system or sent to your
customer to win business.

6. DESIGN
► Utilising Enterprise your engineering and programming departments have the ability to
batch Import multiple file formats including DXF, Step, Iges and SolidWorks directly from
Enterprise or utilise MetaCAD 2D or 3D to quickly construct you parts.
► Files are analysed for problems and anything that cannot be automatically resolved is clearly
highlighted giving the programming team more focus with working on items that need
attention.
► Save additional time and money for your business with running prototype ‘s of your parts
through bend and profile cutting operations before instigating physical production.
► Track part revisions and see the physical changes with this intuitive revision control module.

8. INTEGRATE
► Connect to your ERP / MRP / MES software to pass in work orders, due date, quantities for
production.
► Automatically create nest jobs, program parts and produce nests and avoid having to pass
manual stacks of printed orders to the programming office.
► Go directly from assemblies to nest jobs using our Solidworks and Inventor Plugins that can
transfer CAD files directly into Enterprise.

10. PROGRAM
► Enterprise primary tooling system is now handled remotely by the server saving front end
time on repetitive tasks.
► The system will tool the parts not just for one machine but every machine you have available
including press brakes and will give you complete visual part status and flexibility across your
manufacturing operations.
“How Long will it take you to switch work from a machine that goes down or is over capacity?”
► Any features that could not be automatically tooled or if the machine is not capable of
producing the part is clearly highlighted and put on hold for review.
► Utilising Hot Folders you can drag and drop you engineering files and the system will
automatically import them.

12. SCHEDULING &
PRODUCTION
► Once you have jobs in the system it is a simple click to schedule and release direct to the
nesting engine.
► Enterprise will show you a list of available machines along with a capacity indication to decide
which machine to schedule the parts on. From there it is a simple click to nest parts on the
server - which does not keep the user waiting, he can move on to the next task.
► If you want to maximise your machine productivity and material utilisation you can also
merge jobs together which will then be batch processed. Features like "Intelligent Nest
Repacking" and "Filler Jobs" allow you to draw the last bits from the nesting system.
► All nests are validated against machine parameters for any potential problems along with
incorporating minimum acceptable yield - any nests below this value are put in an approval
queue for review.
► Production is automatically prioritized by the due-dates and priorities imported from the
ERP/MRP system. The automatic priority can be overridden with various 'batch scheduling
tools' available in Enterprise.

14. CUSTOMIZE &
MANAGE
► Centralized Microsoft SQL server database to store all your data - search, sort, group and
track data with a few mouse clicks.
► Enterprise is setup with individual user accounts that can track the history of operations on
each part and control access to files.
► Automatic Backup base on a defined schedule ensures that all is safely backed up for easy
recovery.
► Meeting the lean manufacturing principals, Enterprise can easily turn into a pull based
system where jobs are pulled and scheduled 'on-production-demand' from the shopfloor.
► Most frequent jobs can be captured into ready-to-go 'static-nests' making it possible to
release them immediately when required.

16. OPERATOR KIOSK
► The Enterprise Operator Kiosk is designed as a simple to use yet informative screen for shop
floor operators to receive and acknowledge production requirements whilst reducing the
typical word of mouth and paper trail.
► The kiosk displays highly visual graphics and information about the nests along with built in
tools for setting and production time tracking. They also have a very clear and intuitive punch
turret tracker which monitors the tool load in the machine and as new nests are selected will
inform the of operators tools to remove and add. This feature removes the need for offline
paper charts and potential miscommunication between production shifts.
► Prioritize nests to minimize tool changes

18. REPORT
Everything that happens in Enterprise is available for reporting. You can easily create
simple charts or a rolling dashboard to see the metrics that matter the most to you.
► Template based reports enable you to prepare smart reports to bring the Engineering
and Operations data on a single sheet.
► A single report can adapt the content according to the machine technology making it
highly reusable for laser, punch or combo users.
► The report extensibility ensures that you can import and attach external reports to the
Parts and print them with the native Enterprise reports.
► If you are working remotely you can use the Enterprise App for Android related systems
to get up to date information on job and machine status.

20. DATA MINING
All Enterprise activities are tracked and kept ready for data mining making it possible to
identify the bottlenecks, opportunities in the factory workflow. Operation managers can
use dashboard charts/graphs to track live Machine loads, Material requirements, tools
usage etc. Production history data can be used to check the machine and operator
efficiencies or nesting yields over a specified duration.
23. “Enterprise has helped us better manage our parts and revisions across multiple
programmers - we can save both the tooling and the CAD for all previous versions
which is a huge time saver for reruns.”
- Pinion Adams, South Africa
“We have been using MetaCAM for around 18 months and over that time we have
had very good results from the existing software. We had impressive results in terms
of reduced scrappage and large productivity improvements, thus the upgrade to
Enterprise became a natural progression for us to move forward with Metamation.”
