Automotive & metal parts

Smart manufacturing for automotive & metal parts.

Machining, stamping and fabrication shops live on spindle time, tool life and right-first-time parts. DMIS measures OEE by machine, tracks every tool and die change, and keeps the quality records your automotive customers expect.

The challenge

Where automotive and metal parts plants lose margin.

Tool and die changes

Long or inconsistent set-ups take machines out of production, and the cause is rarely written down.

Unplanned machine stops

Breakdowns and waits for material, inspection or operators keep OEE well below what the machines can do.

Scrap and dimensional rejects

Out-of-tolerance parts are found at inspection, after the material and machine time are spent.

Customer quality demands

OEMs and tier-one customers expect full traceability and fast answers to any quality concern.

How DMIS helps

Smart manufacturing, configured for automotive and metal parts.

DMIS is a smart manufacturing platform, not a fixed product. It starts from the records you already keep, with no new sensors, and is configured to your products, machines and KPIs.

Machine-level OEE

See availability, performance and quality for every machine, and which stops cost the most in RM.

Set-up analysis

Compare set-up times by part, die and crew to standardise the fastest method.

Predictive quality

Spot the settings, tools and material lots most linked to rejects before the next run.

Maintenance insight

Track breakdown patterns and repair times to plan maintenance before failures.

What you measure

The KPIs that matter in automotive and metal parts.

Every KPI is calculated from your own data, by line, shift and product, and every loss is costed in ringgit so you know what to fix first.

OEE by machine, cell and shift
Set-up and die-change time
Scrap and reject rate by part number
Mean time between failures and to repair
Spindle or press utilisation
Heat, coil and lot traceability

Example

What this looks like on the floor

A stamping cell loses almost an hour a day to die changes. DMIS shows that one crew changes dies in half the time of the others because they stage tools before the run ends. That method becomes the standard playbook, and the time gained is shown in RM.

An illustrative example. Results in your plant are measured during the pilot.

Integrity

Records that stand up to customer audits.

Automotive suppliers often work to IATF 16949 and customer-specific requirements such as PPAP. DMIS does not replace your quality system, but it keeps validated, traceable production data that supports it.

Traceability from material heat or coil to shipped part
Audit trail of every record and change
Reject and deviation history by part number
Evidence for customer quality investigations

FAQ

Questions from automotive and metal parts manufacturers.

Can DMIS work with older machines?

Yes. Machines without data connections are covered by simple operator entries on a phone or tablet. Newer machines can be connected later through the Data Hub API.

Does DMIS help with IATF 16949?

DMIS supports the production records, traceability and continual improvement data that IATF 16949 audits look at. Certification stays with your quality system and certification body.

Can it track tool life?

Yes. Tool and die usage can be recorded per run, so DMIS can show wear patterns and the link between tool condition and rejects.

What result should we expect?

Our pilot target is a 10% OEE improvement within three months on the pilot lines, measured against your own baseline.
