Remote Monitoring Boosts Manufacturing Efficiency
June 1, 2022
HEIDENHAIN offers version 1.4.0 of its StateMonitor software platform that enables remote monitoring and data evaluation during real-time manufacturing.
"First introduced in 2019, StateMonitor has become an important option with HEIDENHAIN TNC controls to digitally connect and evaluate machine tool data on company networks as part of the Industry 4.0 initiative to boost efficiencies," said a company spokesperson. "Connected devices could include CNC control systems of varying brands, as well as PCs and web-based mobile devices such as tablets or smartphones."
Designed to highlight data usage and encourage time-saving workflow methods using clear-cut charts and graphs, the StateMonitor V1.4.0 now offers further benefits. One of the many new features often requested and now available in StateMonitor V1.4.0 is the ability to monitor tools within a connected machine. This allows users to collect current tool usage data and avoid unnecessary costs due to premature tool replacement. The software also now can view countdowns for any programs running.
Other important new functions include the ability to view monitored signals on the Machine Status page, as well as String Signal data. Also, users can now customize the machine status by adding additional ones and changing to their liking when the machine is considered "productive."
An interested customer now has the option to purchase a single machine license and can add on the more common 5-machine license (StateMonitor Option 1) later if desired. The StateMonitor Single Machine license already contains the OPC UA Interface so machines with third-party CNCs can be connected as well.
Another offering is a provision of additional StateMonitor Software Maintenance and Support from HEIDENHAIN. This software maintenance plan gives customers the ability to easily upgrade the software each time a new release is available. Also, a new direct international email support line is available for highly technical or development questions at digitalshopfloor@heidenhain.de.
