App Provides Enhanced Transparency for CNCs

Sept. 1, 2020

Manage MyMachines, a cloud-based “platform as a service”, enables the full data tracking of machine kinematics as well as production data and serves as the initial point of entry into this digital world, combined with edge technology.

 

For the builder, this development translates into an immediate ability to monitor the global install base. Shops and production departments, in tandem with their system integrators and other business partners, will have a transparent display of all CNC equipment on the floor, regardless of location, brand, function or usage.

 

As a MindApp within the Mindsphere portfolio, Manage MyMachines is integrated into the cloud-based, open IoT operating system, as it allows access to all critical machine tool information, from bearing temperature to production by shift or job, all in a selectable priority scale.

 

Complete asset management is further possible as resource consumption and energy usage are trackable, all in the cloud, and all accessible through the app in real-time.
