The Predator MDC (Manufacturing Data Collection) suite of machine data monitoring, collection and analysis software features real-time performance with reports, charts and dashboards. The software suite tracks key manufacturing metrics such as OEE, cycle time, idle time, setup time, and machine downtime. Available as Predator MDC, MDC Express or Enterprise editions, the package is based on open-archi- tecture client-server database standards with users selecting from either Microsoft Access or Microsoft Server or Oracle. In August, Predator released an update of its PDM application, adding performance improvements for users viewing vault data and increasing the maximum number of vault items. “Productivity, reliability and revision control have been and will continue to be the hallmarks of modern shop floor DNC networking and communication software,” said Jim Abbassian, president, Predator Software Inc. (Portland, OR). “MDC or Manufacturing Data Collection and machine monitoring provide actual shop-floor metrics that feed back into improved scheduling and improved ROI on shop floor utilization and management. PDM has traditionally been used on engineering drawings, but lately we have developed manufacturing-based document management that addresses the requirements of CNC program management and manu- facturing shop-floor document management.” ME
