The Material Database is the heart of process automation. The contents of the Material Database can be accessed as early as the job preparation stage:
The material, machine, tool and method are known in the pre-production phase and can be taken into account in the design, thus eliminating errors at an early stage.
The second function is the inventory of all materials, methods and machine and tool parameters. Ideally, the practical experience values of all production processes flow together in the Material Database.
