DataXchange machine monitoring display in a shopWhat is Machine Monitoring Software? Machine Monitoring gives you the ability to see what machines are doing in real-time. It is also known as machine data collection, manufacturing data collection, and OEE monitoring.

Collect & process data from your machines using software like MTConnect, FANUC FOCAS, Okuma Thinc, custom macros, or hardware devices. Optional data collection terminals can be used for additional operator input. Runtime, downtime, & OEE data is then presented via dashboards, historical reports, & charts.  Emails or text messages can be sent to notify you of production issues on the shop floor.

Improve manufacturing by supplying accurate shop floor productivity metrics to improve operations & make better decisions. Enjoy automatic, error-free, & unattended machine monitoring for events such as job start/end, set up start/end, log on/off, cycle start/end, & more. Data collected includes cycle time, idle time, setup time, teardown time, machine downtime, & scrap reasons.

In today’s competitive manufacturing environment, it is more important than ever to be as efficient as possible. Increase machine up-time & drive innovation on your shop floor.
