Human workflow concerns
Will they use the correct revision?
Are all needed & approved documents provided in the process?
What happens with altered CNC programs?
How will changes from production be processed and archived?
Do we have documentation and complete data for product liability?

The FIT4Teamcenter Tools FIT4Teamcenter DNC
– Integrated Teamcenter server based application with services for machine and worker interface connection. Configuration of connection, data down- and upload and viewing tools/possibilities. Data search routines for different TC item types (part item, MENC machining item, etc.)
FIT4Teamcenter Service Tools– Configurable CNC part data interface for automatic import of legacy data (CNC
programs, tooling sheets, etc.) into Teamcenter– CAM Integrator to integrate CAM systems in Teamcenter over CNC part data
interface– Integration of different comparison programs for CNC data into Teamcenter Portal
FIT4Teamcenter HI (Human Interface)– Browser based easy to use worker interface for direct information access to
Teamcenter, down and upload of released CNC data and viewing of additional CNC part information's like drawings, JT’s, tooling sheets, ShopDocs, CNC programs, tool data, etc.
FIT4Teamcenter MI (Machine Interface)– Connection interface to CNC control with parameters and special function for
different protocols for serial, Ethernet or direct connect. Supports all manufacturers CNC controls and protocols
