Tutorials on edge computing for machine tools

This tutorial shows how to connect your Industrial Edge for Machine Tools device to your SINUMERIK NCU on the one hand side and to your factory LAN on the other hand side. After that, the onboarding process to register your device to your MindSphere tenant is shown including the recommended firmware update.

This tutorial shows how to install the necessary Edge adapters and SINUMERIK runtime components to establish the communication between your Industrial Edge for Machine Tools and your SINUMERIK NCU. You will also learn how to configure the Edge Adapters and verify a successful communication.

This tutorial shows how to install and configure the Edge apps Analyze MyWorkpiece /Capture and Analyze MyWorkpiece /Monitor. You will learn how to create suitable data recordings with Analyze MyWorkpiece /Capture, how to import those recordings into Analyze MyWorkpiece /Monitor and finally how to train and use the monitoring model for Analyze MyWorkpiece /Monitor on your Industrial Edge for Machine Tools with a step-by-step workflow.

This tutorial shows how you set up a development environment and utilize the AppSDK on your own developer PC. After having done this, you will get familiar with the example Edge applications provided by the AppSDK and learn how to use them to develop your own individual Edge app later.

An in-depth tutorial will follow shortly.

This series of five video tutorials shows how to install and configure Analyze MyWorkpiece /Capture and how to create valid recording jobs to record data being generated by the SINUMERIK while your NC program is running. The recorded data set is then pulled via your local network by Analyze MyWorkpiece /Toolpath, being an external application to visualize the data for further analysis. 

This tutorial shows how to install and configure Analyze MyWorkpiece /Capture4Analysis so that you can create valid recording jobs to record data being generated by the SINUMERIK while your NC program is running. The recorded data sets are then sent to an external directory using MQTT. Now, they can be processed further with your analytics software.

This tutorial shows how to install and configure Analyze MyMachine /Condition on your Industrial Edge for Machine Tools as well as the required measurement cycles and global user data on SINUMERIK so that you can get and track KPIs of your machine tool axes and the interpolation behaviour at all.

This tutorial shows how image analytics can be used to detect the toolwear status or breakage of a tool or tool insert used in CNC manufacturing. After this session, you will have an overview of how to set up your operational environment in order to acquire image training data, label image training data, initiate the training of artificial intelligence models, and deploy the models to perform inferencing directly on your Edge device. You will also learn how to trigger your models from the user interface, or directly from SINUMERIK. The tutorial also highlights how you can manage the results of your models for quality analysis purposes. 

This tutorial shows how image analytics can be used to perform a variety of[RV1] [RV2]  monitoring use cases concerning workpiece and machine protection within a machining, machine-cell, or general shopfloor environment. The tutorial provides an example of how to perform the workpiece identification and rotation confirmation use case. After this session, you will have an overview of how to set up your operational environment in order to acquire image training data, label image training data, initiate the training of artificial intelligence models, and deploy the models to perform inferencing directly on your Edge device. You will also learn how to trigger your models from the user interface, or directly from SINUMERIK. The tutorial also highlights how you can manage the results of your models for quality analysis purposes.
