- Connect Plan Benefits
- Analyze your factory present and past, improve the future
Factory operating management
This function reduces machine stop times and raises utilization by visualizing past and present operation results, for analysis and future improvements. By visualizing current operating results, machine stoppages can be noticed quickly and corrective measures can be taken. With alarm notification, steps can be taken even earlier and machine stop time can be decreased.
The system also lets you visualize not only the past utilization rate but also the alarm history and operation history. Causes of machine stops can be pinpointed and analyzed, and improvements can be made. Maintenance and check times can also be visualized with various maintenance icons, and future breakdowns can be prevented by reliably performing machine maintenance.
Machining Record Manager
Machining Record Manager achieves machining traceability by connecting the unique ID of the machined parts with the machining results, process list, and measurement results for each machine. Checking the "when, where, and how" the part was cut, and “what” the measurements were can be done easily. If there is a problem with a workpiece, the cause can be analyzed and high quality production can be achieved with greater assurance.
