the needed shop fl oor management training to assist them to use smart data to make smart decisions.” The future lies in development of solutions that allow man- ufacturers to be more proactive, intelligent, and informed,
and to support executing timely decisions, Abuali said. Forcam’s platform enables connectivity not only to machines, but to any IT system, such as quality, maintenance, PLM, and tool data, he added.

“MTConnect standardizes links be- tween systems, applications, and entire factories to provide an integrated over- all manufacturing system. In addition to MTConnect, Forcam’s technology supports a variety of real-time plug-ins to machine CNCs and PLCs, including manufacturer-specifi c drivers. “Forcam is a pioneer of Industry 4.0—the 4th industrial revolution, also called the ‘Industrial Ethernet.’ A major theme of Industry 4.0 is to build a cyber- physical system to map production ‘Big Data’ in real-time, in a virtual space, like a ‘cyber mirror,’” he said. “Imagine your factory modeled in the cloud; this today is a reality. Big data requires advanced technological features such as in-memo- ry technology for real-time data acquisi- tion and processing. With this objective data, wastes are demonstrated crystal clear and you win the largest transpar- ency about the state of your manufac- turing. You can analyze the production virtually and optimize it in real-time.”
Getting Connected
Many of the disconnected ma- chines on plant fl oors are older legacy equipment representing a huge invest- ment, and these machines can require more technology than a standard MTConnect adapter to fully implement modern data collection, monitoring and analysis systems. Reliable costs and quality are achieved by data-driven awareness on the shop fl oor, said Memex’s McPhail. “Second and third-tier manufacturing suppliers must be able to demonstrate that they can capture, analyze and share their production data with their upstream
