System to collect and process production facility (machine tool) status information real-time System to collect the status information with system interface regardless of the facility type

 

Client / Market

  • Machine tool manufacturer
  • Companies needing production information management system establishment (MES, Manufacturing Execution System) and process management system and SI companies

 

Necessity of this Technology

  • Generally applying and extracting the status information is difficult as the specifications differ depending on the NC mounted on the machine tool.
  • Regardless of the specifications of the NC mounted on the machine tool, desired status information is extracted and provided to the manager to process tertiary information.

 

Technical Differentiation

  • Existing development extracts the status information from NC that the method of using and S/W are different depending on the NC type.
  • Such methods require high cost or are inconvenient as the license for related S/W needs to be purchased separately.
  • This development can collect status information from the machine tool’s PLC (PMC) interface regardless of the NC type that limitations caused by NC type are surpassed and related cost is significantly decreased.

 

Excellence of Technology

  • The purpose of this technology is to use PLC (PMC) mounted to the machine tool to extract the status information of the machine tool; it can be mounted to the machine tool regardless of the NC specifications.
  • This enables communication with other machine tools, and accumulated status information can be used as the foundation for establishing big data on status information of the machine tool.
  • This enables establishment of 4th industry data platform and utilization of the information as backdata of related ICT program to lead to smartification of the machine tool.
  • Provides convenience to the user by displaying the status information real-time
