SHOP-FLOOR DATA MANAGEMENT Precision and Reliability for Radial/Axial Grooving and Cut-Off
Arno’s tooling programs aim to make the machining process as reliable and fl exible as possible, especially when it comes to cut-off tooling, which is one of the most important operations at the fi nal and critical stage of component manufacturing
component manufacturing.
MERLIN offers a “no machine left behind” bonus, he added. “It connects to any machine, utilizing MTConnect, other protocols, or MERLIN hardware adapters for older equipment, so that every machine and related asset on the plant floor can take advantage of IIoT productivity today.” Manufacturing leaders around the world are taking MTConnect very seriously, McPhail added. “MTConnect has become the de-facto standard for discrete manufacturing. The reason is simple. It is far and away the most elegant yet simple protocol that encompasses a common dictionary of terms and is supported by the thought leaders in manufac- turing. Boeing has publicly stated that no machine tools will go into its factories that do not support MTConnect.”

MTConnect is an absolute necessity for shops looking to track and improve sustainability and productivity, added 5ME’s Tecos. “Our eMONITOR software module monitors and analyzes machine health, and can actually stop issues before they happen,” he said. “The software detects small anomalies before component failure and determines whether a component or process is within specified parameters. The software looks at vibration, temperature, pressure, current and fluid condition and allows rapid detection of process variation prior to production of poor quality parts.” The MTConnect-compliant 5ME software also can be used with smartphones and tablets, so alerts are sent and received in real time from virtually anywhere. “Software’s universal connectivity and intuitive interfaces give management and machine operators single-point access to machine status, for assets numbering from just a few to hundreds,” Tecos said. “Real-time information improves maintenance response times, processes, and decision-making on asset purchases.”
Lowering Costs of Entry What does every part cost? The expense of data monitor-
ing is dropping, making the question of whether to moni- tor machines more feasible even for smaller manufacturing shops, Rogers noted. “Believe it or not, whether you’re a small company or a Fortune 100, every owner would love to know more about what’s going on on the shop floor and what every part truly costs,” said Predator’s Rogers. “The other side that data management is really bringing to the forefront is how well am I utilizing what I already own?”
