Transform your shopfloor operations
Collect, Analyse, Control
We’ve combined 3 powerful software modules into a single Smart Machine solution to create a strong foundation for your digitally connected shopfloor.
Connect each CNC machine to automate data collection, control NC program transfer and unlock powerful insights to drive productivity.
Connect machines
Connect each machine to collect and visualise utilisation performance data, and transfer programs
Share Information
Deliver all production data and documentation paperlessly to the operator on the shopfloor
Drive Productivity
Use live and historical data to make informed decisions and tackle productivity losses.
A connected shopfloor
Over the last 30+ years Seiki has developed a deep vertical manufacturing knowledge and technical expertise in NC program transfer and machine data acquisition. In this time, we’ve connected thousands of machines using industry standard ethernet and serial device hardware. The Smart Machine bundle is a reflection of our experience of working with manufacturing companies of all sizes and across industry sectors to:
- Stop using uncontrolled methods, such as USB, to communicate with machines.
- Ensure only the latest approved programs are used by the people that have permission to transfer them.
- Automatically see when a machine is in production and alert users to critical issues such as machine alarms. And, depending on the data being available, ethernet monitoring can also provide visibility of non-optimal running conditions such as reduced feed or speed rates.
- Adopt a consistent and simple method of capturing the reasons for downtime, supported by notifications and warnings for accurate, timely and complete data.
Machine Monitoring
