Helping you to gain a competitive edge in CNC manufacturing

Machine data at the heart of CNC production optimization

Collecting and analyzing machine data used to be very time-consuming – sometimes not possible. Thanks to digitalization and networking, completely new options are now available where you can access process and machine data required for production optimization – anytime and anywhere, detect process weaknesses and monitor the effect of optimization measures immediately, automatically and without additional effort. Siemens 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.

Want to harness the enormous potential of machine data to optimize production?

Questions and answers on production optimization 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. You can also 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.

How well and how efficiently are my CNC machines working at the moment? How can I boost their efficiency and productivity?

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.

Are my process improvements making a difference? How can I translate machine data into performance analyses with little effort?

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.

We deploy ERP and MES solutions for production control. Can I also use the production machine data and status information in these IT systems?

The Access MyData app assists you when you are integrating process and machine data into other IT systems. Data can be selected from the SINUMERIK Integrate platform and made available to higher-level IT systems. Open interfaces mean you can ensure an end-to-end flow of data and information.

The Siemens Software Marketplace offers an overview of the quickly expanding range of apps, starting with apps for SINUMERIK Edge.

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
