Eliminate Hidden Downtime in High-Speed Precision Machining & Auto Components

Purpose-built for CNC turning centers, vertical machining centers (VMCs), automotive stamping presses, and Tier-1/Tier-2 auto component manufacturers in India’s industrial clusters (Pune, Chennai, Rajkot, Coimbatore, Gurgaon).

CHALLENGES SOLVED

Why Standard MES Fails on Precision Machining Floors

Auto parts machining demands micro-second precision, rapid tool changeovers, and zero paper delay between shifts.

01

Sub-Second Micro-Stoppages

When a CNC waits 45 seconds between part loading, chips accumulate in chuck jaws, or an operator pauses for coolant top-up, paper logbooks record zero downtime. Yet these micro-delays add up to 2.5 hours of lost spindle time every shift.

02

Mould & Tool Setup Latency

High-mix automotive job shops switch jobs 3 to 6 times per machine daily. Without standardized SMED tracking, fixture clamping, program loading, and trial runs stretch from 30 minutes into 90 minutes.

SMED timers cut changeover by 42%
03

OEM PPAP & Traceability

Automotive OEMs (Tata, Mahindra, Maruti, Bajaj) require complete batch traceability, first-piece inspection signatures, and heat-code tracking. Poldu links operator ID, CNC serial number, and inspection stamps to every batch.
