The Rhombus Factory Information System is a modular production control system for medium to high volume manufacturers.

It is unusual in that it has been built up from a shop-floor data collection system, rather than down from an accounting system. This means that it has modules to handle many tasks on the shop-floor which you do not get in other software packages.

Large companies use it as a Manufacturing Execution System.

Small and medium sized companies use it to run their businesses.

Features

Blocked cavities

If you use injection moulding or diecasting tools with large numbers of cavities, you may run the tool with one or more cavities blocked or frozen off.

When this happens you can tell FIS that you have lost one or more cavities.  This enables FIS to correctly count the number of parts made in each cycle of the machine.

Eventually you may stop the machine and fix all cavities.  You can then tell FIS that no cavities are blocked again.
