Over the last several years, DigiFabster has worked closely with machine shops on their milling, turning, and cutting operations to refine our automated quoting software specifically for the CNC machining industry. With a mountain of data and insight into standard CNC shop practices, we’ve identified a common mistake they make when they aim for 100% quoting “accuracy.” We call it “overengineering” quotes, and here’s how it goes wrong.
Over the last several years, DigiFabster has worked closely with 3D printing shops and additive manufacturers to refine our automated quoting software. With a mountain of data and insight into standard 3D printing and AM practices, we’ve identified a common mistake shops make when they aim for 100% quoting “accuracy.” We call it “overengineering” quotes, and here’s how it goes wrong.
You’ve probably been too busy running your business to figure out how to optimize and grow it. Well, here’s the good news: You can get started with automated quotes and e-commerce a lot quicker and easier than it may seem. And this short guide — designed specifically for CNC shops like yours — will show you the top reasons to automate, with a step-by-step framework for actually doing it.
In order to grow as a business, you need to evolve and streamline operations. In key moments of change, decision-making can become protracted and tedious, or rushed and filled with guesswork. But thanks to the rise of manufacturing data analytics, that no longer needs to be the case. Increasingly, a number of Industry 4.0 “smart factories” are harnessing the power of big data to tighten their operations, bringing up machine occupancy rates, cutting costs, and saving time. In this e-book we break down the benefits of data-driven decision-making in manufacturing.
