Process navigation for die-making plants

Pass on the craft, and cut mistakes
Katanavi, our own system

Orders, rule work, rubbering, shipping, and backups in one place. Specs stay visible so the work does not depend on one person.

Is the die-making floor facing this?

1. The work depends on a veteran

Reading drawings and choosing rules stays with experienced people, so younger staff do not inherit the craft.

2. A missed spec causes rework

Paper instructions make it easy to miss a caution, the rubber, or the counter plate, and the rules are punched again.

3. Progress is hard to see

Laser, rule insertion, and inspection are not visible at once, so delivery dates are adjusted late.

Three reasons plants choose Katanavi

01

Spec entry made for die-making

Caliper, rule type, crease type, gripper size, and prices for the die, rubber, and other items. Caution notes are shown large.

02

Eleven steps, sorted by due date

From the order to the delivery note and invoice, each of eleven steps is open or done. Unfinished jobs sort by the earliest due date.

03

Automatic backups and clear permissions

A monthly automatic backup, and a one-click save to the PC. Administrator, leader, and general permissions.
