Using machine data to gain a competitive edge in CNC manufacturing
Machine data are at the heart of production optimization
Collecting and analyzing machine data used to be very time-consuming. Thanks to digitalization and networking, completely new options are now available. You can access the process and machine data required for production optimization any time and anywhere, detect process weaknesses and monitor the effect of optimization measures immediately, automatically and without any additional effort. Our CNC Shopfloor Management Software apps transform machine data into a powerful tool that will make your production even more flexible, more efficient, and more successful.
Machine data reveal potentials for improvement in your CNC production
The CNC Shopfloor Management Software apps continuously acquire machine data and visualize them in such a way that you can determine the status of all your machines any time and anywhere, as well as detecting process weaknesses quickly. Not only that. You can see at a glance how your entire production is performing, make decisions based on reliable machine data and performance indicators, and optimize your production and processes step by step. CNC Shopfloor Management Software means you can learn from machine data how to boost efficiency and flexibility in your CNC production and leave your competitors trailing behind you.
Manage MyMachines is a CNC Shopfloor Management Software app that can provide you with information on productivity and efficiency from your machine data at any time via the MindSphere platform. As these machine data are always available, you can acquire clear information on the status and history of your machines. Regardless of the manufacturer of the machine or control system. This allows you to make decisions on optimization measures based on current and historical machine data, and directly observe their effect – fully automatically and without any effort on your part, and even when you or other decision-makers are not on site.
You can collect the data from your machines using the CNC Shopfloor Management Software apps. The Analyze MyPerformance /OEE Monitor app determines and visualizes key performance indicators (KPI) from these machine data. So you always know - anywhere, any time and fully automatically - just how efficient your current production is. At the click of a mouse, you can call up reliable real-time machine data that would have previously been extremely difficult and time-consuming to research and calculate. Analyze MyPerformance /OEE Tuning helps you to tune your production, compare time periods and see the effect of optimization measures. Now you can take decisions more quickly, based on comprehensive and reliable information.
Our apps are where you need them
CNC Shopfloor Management Software: an ecosystem for all levels
Our software operates on all three levels of your production:
- in Machine (SINUMERIK / Industrial Edge for machine tools)
- in Line (SINUMERIK Integrate)
- in Cloud (MindSphere)
Exploit the full potential at all levels for increased productivity and higher quality with our portfolio.
Into the Sphere – Manage MyMachines and MindSphere
Ahead of the rest: at EMO 2017, Siemens was already demonstrating what its IoT platform MindSphere and smart apps can do:
- 200 machine tools from different manufacturers and with different controls supplied machine data
- The status of the machines was transparent at all times and from all locations
- Machine data could be visualized in apps such as Manage MyMachines and Analyze MyPerfomance
