Repetitive Manufacturing Solution - based on Prod Manager and 20-20 CAD
ProdManager is an innovative enterprise level manufacturing solution for the repetitive manufacturer that also provides order specific custom cabinets. If the production requires advanced stock management at the finished good or component level, this proven solution is favored by our customers. We have kitchen, residential, hospitality and restaurant furniture manufacturers amongst our existing clients.

One of the unique features of this solution is the product data generation process. 20-20 CAD, our industry specific engineering tool, provides natively the bill of materials, AutoCAD-part & assembly drawings as well CNC programs based on GenPOST. All product data is published from the engineering model and no re-entering of product data into the manufacturing system is required. In addition, the graphic model from 20-20 CAD can be published to a 20-20 Design catalog.

To further extend the products into the marketplace, a tight integration to 20-20 Design is supported on the catalog and the order processing level.

DFM Solution - based on 20-20 Design, 20-20 BuildRite & Stiles CutRite
The DFM Solution is the first solution for our industries where a single data set is used at the Point-of-Sales as well as in the Manufacturing Environment. This advanced technology is based upon 20-20 Design 8.0. The extracted manufacturing bills of materials are provided from 20-20 DFM Catalogs. Manufacturing integration is supported by the 20-20 BuildRite and Stiles Cut-Rite integration.

Currently several projects are under way and the solution is proving out in the manufacturing environment.
