Hardware & Software Solutions to Increase Productivity



Shop Floor Automations (SFA) will display software and hardware solutions to help manufacturers increase productivity, OEE and profits without buying new machines or downsizing workforce in order to afford upgrades.

SFA to display:

  • Hardware - SFA's USB to CNC hardware options, such as the Portable USB Connect. Connect machines via Ethernet and wireless devices. One of SFA's newest products, the WiFi USB Connect, is a solution to enable old machines to wirelessly send and save programs to a shared folder. SFA's popular Floppy Drive Emulator will be on display, as well as its newest version, which is the Okuma Floppy Drive Core Replacement. The Multi Connect will also be making a special appearance.
  • DNC Software - Having constant CNC communication failures? Are your programs too large to fit in the CNC memory? Want to be done with the worries of where programs are stored among your shop, or who is accessing them? "DNC Software enables you to control and secure CNC programs," said a company spokesperson. "SFA specializes in DNC communication via Predator DNC, which also comes with a free copy of Predator CNC Editor."
  • Machine Monitoring - Get notifications whenever there is a production problem on the shop floor. Give machinists a voice, by giving them access to a fully featured data entry screen and monitors on the shop floor with machine OEE updates. Scytec DataXchange will be on-hand to give live demonstrations of its machine monitoring software.
  • Job Scheduling - "It is time to drop spreadsheets; graphical scheduling is the best new option for your shop floor," said a company spokesperson. "Make live changes to your production schedule and see how it affects your overall jobs list, in real time. See how early or late your projects really are. No longer waste time updating paperwork or fixing inevitable human errors."
