PlantMonitor Aids Digital Manufacturing
November 1, 2023
HEIDENHAIN's PlantMonitor is a digital solution to aid the manufacturing shop floor. It is designed for companies interested in simultaneously monitoring and analyzing production data at multiple sites utilizing machine tools where at least one is equipped with a HEIDENHAIN TNC control/StateMonitor software combination per site. PlantMonitor can aggregate the data onto one screen for review. Machine tools using even nonHEIDENHAIN controls can be included and monitored.
By connecting multiple StateMonitors within the new PlantMonitor software umbrella, a company's entire production environment will become transparent to users, enabling them to react appropriately to problems and changes. This also contributes to enabling users to achieve long-term process optimization.
On a single PlantMonitor screen, network data is displayed by groups via a customizable dashboard. The monitoring function displays machine data in real time. The machine status bar, utilization rate and availability for every machine connected to PlantMonitor can be shown in a clear format on the single page and, if needed, as a tile added to the dashboard. Other highlights of the new PlantMonitor system include the new Production and Mean Time between failures (MTBF) calculations, as well as the ability to set reference values for productivity.
"PlantMonitor is a progression to the next level of monitoring, viewing machine data and analyzing pertinent data that is of interest to companies both large and small," said a company spokesperson.
