Data Management Feature Collects Production Level Data

Marposs' C-THRU4.0 data management software is designed to collect and process data from metalforming equipment-such as stamping presses and forming machines equipped with Brankamp devices or T1 terminals-and feed it to an overarching ERP system, delivering machine, operating, order, maintenance, quality and process data in real time to all departments of the company. The data collected can be used to reduce set-up and downtimes, optimize cycle times, increase machine utilization, document and evaluate process data, all leading to enhanced productivity and profitability.

"The direct interconnection with process monitoring provides the production planning with detailed information which is not available to conventional production control systems," said a company spokesperson. This interconnection supports automization of workflows, automated report generation, identification of stop reasons, minimization of set-up times and optimal planning of intervals for orders or maintenance. Production costs and quality are always transparent and traceable through the statistical recording and evaluation of performance indicators.

To initiate C-THRU4.0, data collected from the monitoring processes is coordinated with the customer's cost and resource information to provide a dashboard that meets the customer's needs. Any changes coming in from the customer side can be fed back to the forming machine. This interconnectivity and data flow supports the move toward the Industrial Internet of Things (iIoT) and Industry 4.0.
