CNCTimes.com, the networking platform for manufacturing industry, received an overwhelming response from visitors at the Pune Machine Tool Exhibition (PMTX) organized by Indian Machine Tool Manufacturers’ Association (IMTMA). The exhibition was organized from September 29 to October 2, 2016 at Auto Cluster in Pune wherein the exhibitors got an opportunity to showcase their products and services that can take the Indian manufacturing industry to a different level.

CNCTimes.com had exhibited its Production, Planning and Control (PPC) software, coined as Plant Manager (www.plantmanager.in) developed to help manufacturing industry in general and SMEs in particular to resolve the major pain area of planning the manufacturing schedule in a systematic manner and arrive at the exact date when the product or component will be delivered.

The cloud-based software is available at a very meagre sum that can be paid monthly. It not only helps schedule the production and increase the output, but also allows the manufacturer to use his machine optimally and arrive at a position to deliver the material on the promised date.

Explaining the idea behind participating in PMTX, the Managing Director of CNCTimes.com, Mr. Niraj Wanikar said, “Our software is helpful for the manufacturing industry. This event was a magnet for bringing together top manufacturing companies in the industry today. Our aim was to reach out to the manufacturers and explain them the benefits of our product to a large and focused target group.”

“Showcasing the software at PMTX made perfect sense as it caught attention of our potential clients. Through this software, we want to penetrate into the machine tool market and get maximum exposure. We thought that the exhibition will be the perfect place to achieve these aspirations and be a trendsetter in the industry,” Mr. Wanikar stated.

“It was observed that there was no system on the SME shopfloors which will give meaningful MIS data to the management. Hence Plant Manager was developed as a PPC software which helps in giving various MIS reports, does finite capacity planning and utilizes shopfloor resources optimally,” Managing Director of CNCTimes.com, Mr. Niraj Wanikar said.
