Seco Tools Launches New Version of PCA System

“PCA is a very powerful tool that enables customers to coordinate production on the shop floor and easily find bottlenecks or restrictions and control their own production processes,” said Shan Alexander's cutting applications and PCA service owner Ben Alexander. The PCA system has recently been enhanced to allow customers to log in to a central database, view reports, and add notes. "The new system has an HTML presentation layer that can provide reports to multiple platforms from desktop computers to tablets," said Alexander. "It can integrate well with our core system's product and customer data, allowing us to interact with each other." Understand each other's experience."

It is understood that the PCA is performed by the Seco representative and all reports are strictly provided through this service. The latest version of PCA, which was released in January 2013, not only enables customers to access completed PCA reports, but also accesses individual test reports, R&D tests, and part-engineering tool (CET) studies. "We have even accumulated more experience and knowledge in this system," Alexander said. "For example, with the CET report, we have a closer relationship with the machine tool manufacturers. We can be in any corner of the world. Provide more detailed information and greater consistency in the report.” There are also some grand plans for the future: “We are ready to connect the application to the learning management system currently under construction. This system can be installed within the Seco Group. To better share knowledge and experience, we are also ready to relax our partners and dealers' access to the application. Our goal is to have our sales staff as informed as possible about current cutting practices and developments in this area. And provide data in a simple, easy-to-use format to prepare for all challenges.
