How do you benefit from the automatically collected data?

The real-time and reliable information about capacity utilization can be used e.g.:

Manufacturing method development: The system reveals how the different phases of the manufacturing process function. It indicates what happens in each machine tool, with each tool and each NC program. The deficiencies are easily seen. The required actions can be directed precisely, and the manufacturing methods can be developed exactly where needed.

Production planning: The data collected ensures the precise and accurate production monitoring hence making sure that the production planning and capacity identification can be based on facts. By monitoring machine utilization rate, you can see clearly, where the weak links of your production environment are and where there is valuable, unused capacity.

Maintenance planning: The system collects data about the faults and failures in production and saves the data in the failure history, where it can be later examined what kind of failures had occurred earlier and what kind of actions were taken to repair the failure in question. The failure history is a valuable tool in problem situations. The system reveals if the service response times are acceptable and whether the maintenance is succeeded. The service intervals can be scheduled according to actual manufacturing hours instead of calendar. Next»
