AGMA

AGMA : Modernizing Stainless Steel Production Through a Unified Software Ecosystem

The challenge

AGMA operates in a demanding production environment where nearly one thousand unique components are manufactured every week. Constantly evolving part numbers, multiple cutting technologies, and strict delivery schedules required a smarter approach to production planning, nesting, and manufacturing management.

Managing thousands of unique part numbers
Maintaining production traceability
Synchronizing engineering and shop floor operations
Efficient material utilization
Supporting multiple cutting technologies from one system

A Complex Manufacturing Environment

AGMA operates in a highly dynamic production environment where nearly one thousand different components are manufactured every week. Each component has unique specifications, requiring accurate traceability, intelligent material management, and efficient production planning. Managing such a large number of constantly evolving part numbers made conventional machine software insufficient for their growing needs.

Nearly 1,000 unique components produced every week
Constantly changing product references
High-mix, low-volume manufacturing
Complete traceability required
Fast production turnaround
