Time & Motion Study vs Airbend Pro

Discover the ultimate tool for time and motion studies, rooted in industrial engineering methodologies. Time & Motion Study, a user-friendly and automated time study tool, is designed to optimize your time study operations! Enhance working methods to boost efficiency and reduce waste. Effectiveness isn't just about hard work, but also smart work. These time and motion studies empower you to fine-tune your operational processes (increasing throughput) and improve resource utilization (enhancing efficiency). How do we achieve this? By understanding the time and movements required for specific tasks, you can effectively allocate the optimal amount of labor and material resources. Enjoy the added benefit of cost reduction (savings in labor and material costs). Time studies are ideally used for: 1. Machine and operational process cycle time verification. 2. Manual tasks in employee functions, involving repetitive tasks in retail, manufacturing/production, distribution, or other operational environments. To start a time study: 1. Tap “New Time Study.” 2. Select the number of tasks/process steps in the process you are studying. 3. Name the tasks/elements/process steps. 4. Tap “Start." Pro Tip: Measure the time saved by workers after implementing changes to provide a clear and transparent return on investment business case back to your organization.

Airbend Pro is a tool that will perform calculations for bending precision sheet metal on modern press brakes. There are many apps for calculating standard sheet metal bending information, but what makes Airbend Pro unique is that it will provide bending calculations specifically for air bending. (Airbend Pro will also provide the standard bend information if the "Bend Type" is set to "Bottom Formed") Inputs: Material Type Material Thickness Bend Type Bend Angle Inside Bend Radius Bend Width V-Die Radius V-Die Width It will provide the calculated v-die width on the entry screen to help determine the proper V-Die Width Outputs: Actual Bend Radius Bend Deduction Bend Allowance Tonnage Setback Outside Setback Minimum Flange The results can be shared from the output screen. Math formulas are allowed on the entry screen Example 2.5 millimeters to decimal inches (2.5/25.4) 3 feet to decimal inches (3x12) 3/16" to decimal inches (3/16) Coming soon: 1. Reverse engineer bend deduction, bend allowance, and actual inside bend radius from a formed test coupon 2. Flat layout calculations and export to DXF. Any feedback or requests for additional calculations or information is greatly appreciated.
