Sept 2006 - Thin client scheduling system for injection molding.

Open Source

What Open Source Means

Traditionally, open source refers to software/code which is created and modified by a collaboration of different users and programmers. Tuppas Software's open source is based on our Model Driven Architecture framework. This framework allows us to collaborate with our clients to quickly build customized Green Manufacturing and also help the customer learn to use our development tool and then alter the software themselves at their discretion.

How Tuppas Open Source Can Help

Having the ability to alter the Green Manufacturing after purchase has tremendous benefits to Tuppas' Clients. They can alter and add functionality to the solution as their business grows and changes. New business practices can be readily incorporated into an existing ERP system or other applications. Being able to modify the software that helps you run your company as your needs change is a huge advantage in a highly competitive market.
The system becomes more that just a software purchase. It is an adaptable tool to help you grow and innovate now and in the future. Because we have browser based, thin client solutions, along with the benefits of open source, we are the superior choice for savvy buyers.

What is green manufacturing?

Going green in manufacturing is a philosophy and a corporate strategy. It is a multidisciplinary approach aimed at reducing the energy usage and material intensiveness of the manufacturing processes.

As more and more U.S. manufacturers look towards becoming more environmentally responsible, they are finding that green manufacturing initiatives offer competitive market advantages. Manufacturers can actually save money by institutionalizing greener products and processes. Green manufacturing has become not only a more responsible way for many organizations to do business, but a more profitable way as well.

Green manufacturing cuts across every aspect of manufacturing including product development, process technologies, energy consumption and material flow. Many of the decisions manufacturers make are based on cost, function, and quality. Now there is another dimension to consider, environmental sustainability.

Tuppas offers web-based software modules to help with green manufacturing initiatives.

These modules, all of which are easily integrated, include:

These configurable modules help manufacturers report on performance, collaborate within and outside of the organization, manage information and track projects.

Production scheduling with artificial intelligence provides users with the best possible production scheduling scenarios and can optimize for a number of constaints - for instance, scrap reduction, change-overs, labor load leveling and even electricity consumption.

Our process optimization software stores the collected data from past production runs and presents a recipe based on past successful runs for current production runs.

Green supply chain management (SCM) involves making improvements in distibution, transportation efficiency, shortening storage times (just-in-time inventory), improved packaging strategies and more. These supply chain initiatives can help your company meet environmental objectives and goals as well as reduce costs within the supply chain.

EAM, or enterprise asset management, is about optimizing maintenance resources, improving equipment and staff productivity and increasing inventory efficiency. Our EAM module includes reporting tools that enable better decision-making to help improve future asset performance management and profitability.

Manufacturers are being motivated by spiraling energy costs, growing concerns about the future of non-renewable resources and surging consumer demand for eco-friendly products and processes. As more and more manufacturers incorporate sustainable manufacturing as an enterprise wide initiative, they will see dramatic and measurable energy savings, reduced carbon emissions and the emergence of a wide range of new clean technologies and products. Green manufacturing reduces costs, improves process efficiencies and spurs the development of new eco-friendly products for a ready and growing marketplace.
