Leveraging SCADA systems allows manufacturers to pinpoint underutilized CNC assets effectively. By monitoring spindle load, production rates, and cycle times, facilities can: - Identify idle machines - Optimize scheduling - Reduce operational costs For example, a shop using SCADA revealed a 20% idle rate, leading to targeted improvements that boosted productivity.
Automating downtime logging in CNC shops enhances operational efficiency. By integrating MTConnect with the Innorobix module, shops can: - Capture idle time automatically - Categorize downtime causes (e.g., maintenance, tool change) - Generate comprehensive reports for analysis These actionable insights lead to reduced unplanned stoppages and improved ROI.
Integrating MES with CNC machines enables real-time job tracking, enhancing operational efficiency. Benefits include: - Instantaneous data collection for accurate reporting - Anomaly detection for proactive maintenance - Automated logging for seamless downtime tracking For instance, using the Innorobix MTConnect module, shops can achieve significant ROI through improved visibility and reduction of manual data entry.
