AssetMonitor CNC Machine Event And Performance Monitoring

Our Microsoft Windows™ based CNC Machine Event and Performance Monitoring system (Asset Monitor) offers Real-Time monitoring of any electronic equipment, providing production statistics, mobile phone texting, and email notifications on key machine signals and events. The system also archives the production data so that you can historically view shop floor production over a year, month, week, day, or shift period. The system is web based, so that any PC with a Browser and user permission can access the system and its data.

Asset Monitor supports a wide range of CNC Controls including GE Fanuc, and utilizes state of the art Microsoft SQL Database technologies to gather and monitor CNC Control data and performance information in Real-Time. We offer cost effective solutions for small installations, and scalability for larger enterprise configurations.

This is a great tool for both maintenance and management personnel for identifying production bottle necks caused by equipment failure, operator issues, setup times and tooling problems.

Low Cost Tool Management With DNC

This newly released application is a low cost (under $100) Tool Management System with built-in DNC capabilities. The Microsoft Windows™ based application allows the user to maintain a database of Stock Tools by Tool# (up to 8-digits in length), geometry offsets, and wears. The system maintains “Jobs” (NC Programs) that can be edited, scanned for required tooling, assign Tool Changer pot locations automatically (based on T Call sequence), Post-Process NC Program (converting Tool#’s to their corresponding pot locations & insert G10Lnn blocks to register tooling offsets), and allow the posted program to be queued for DNC download to the NC Control.

The built-in DNC system provides NC Program send, receive, remote file request, and send file queuing over serial communications. A wide variety of NC Controls are supported.
