can include machine cycle times; unplanned or planned downtimes; good, rejected, and scrap parts; and OEE data. The system is scalable from small shops with one or two ma- chines up to multiple-plant operations with multiple languages across many time zones.
ERP Embracing Paperless Efforts Along with newer cloud-
based systems, another trend in machine data col- lection with ERP systems is the move toward paper- less systems. “Some of the things I’m seeing today is a lot of people want to go green and paperless,” says Richard Henning, presi-
dent of Henning Software (Hudson, OH), developer of the Visual EstiTrack ERP and shop-floor management software. Manufacturers want paperless solutions that offer the latest up-to-date information from the shop floor, which customers can have with Henning’s Paperless Router, Henning notes. “The thing about paper on the floor is that if you have a revision you’ve got to go get the paper. Our remote collection for job data is really now giving us the lat- est options. You don’t have to scan it, it gives you the material requirements and traceability.”
Shop-floor data collection in Predator Software gives users productivity and cost data on machine cycle times, part production, and other key metrics.

The Truth Is: A probe may be an effective way to verify tool lengths between cuts, but it is not the most efficient way to set your tools. A “guess-and-check” process for making adjustments wastes valuable cutting time. A Speroni MAGIS Tool Presetter can verify runout, measure length, diameter, radius, and other geometries using measuring icons, and it can also inspect tools for wear. Spend less time adjusting and more time cutting.

The notch-free nut design of our Mega Micro Chuck prevents vibration at high speeds for superior balance and concentricity. It not only eliminates whistling noise and coolant splattering, but also assures increased strength of the nut itself. The super slim taper design of the body offers added strength for micro end milling, and reduces interference in long reach applications.
