Whether it’s automation, simulation or virtual machines – pioneering technologies expand our product range and enable end-to-end digital process chains. The hyperMILL® range of services is rounded off by special applications, the best possible interaction with all common CAD solutions and a customer-focused service offering. hyperMILL® CAD/CAM: outstanding performance thanks to CAD for CAM Our CAD functionalities are 100% geared towards the requirements of CAM programmers, delivering pure “CAD for CAM”. Points, curves, surfaces, solids or even polygon meshes can be conveniently processed with our own CAD kernel, which is perfectly tailored to CAM. Elements can be quickly added, deleted, changed and shown or hidden. Our CAM strategies come with integrated CAD functions and generate required features, such as surface extensions, fully automatically. Our goal is to greatly accelerate and simplify NC programming processes in the CAD area. Gaining a competitive edge with hyperMILL® Our leading 5-axis and postprocessor technology as well as the numerous automation options provide you with a competitive advantage. The CAD/CAM systems from OPEN MIND meet the highest requirements worldwide in tool and mold making, production machining, and in the semiconductor, automotive, aerospace, motor sports, medical device and turbine machining industries.
The agile Hummingbird MES-System®
Manufacturing execution system (MES) As your company grows and its processes get more complex, your manufacturing processes become less and less transparent. In order not to jeopardize the company’s success, you need to rethink traditional methods of organizing tasks and reduce the amount of work involved. What can help you here are specialized solutions that improve your management and organization, such as a manufacturing execution system (MES). The effectiveness of processes depends to a large degree on the organizational talent of the production manager. What is the current situation in your company? Do you, like most, resort to Excel spreadsheets or manual planning charts for production planning, and do you rely on paper more than any other data media? Then it’s high time you adopted a more modern, digital planning tool! To help your company take the step into digital planning and management processes, hyperMILL® offers integration with the agile Hummingbird MES. As a CAM manufacturer, we at OPEN MIND are aware of your growing requirements and have therefore significantly strengthened our cooperation with MES provider Hummingbird Systems. This collaboration allows us to perfectly align both systems with each other, maximizing their performance for your production. Like hyperMILL®, Hummingbird is also modular in design. Step by step, this system can grow into a comprehensive manufacturing management system – together with you. The key advantage is that the functional scope of the Hummingbird MES always perfectly matches your requirements.
