First Steps to a Connected Machine Shop (Big Data for Small Shops)
In this demo, Renishaw demonstrates how connecting an older style CNC to a PC tablet directly over ethernet, can empower machine tool operators to immediately become more productive. (Sponsored)
Manufacturers both big and small are being challenged to find greater productivity while keeping their costs down and their cash flow healthy. One of the new tools in the productivity toolkit is Industry 4.0, and with it the concept of connecting machine shops. Whilst this new technology can appear to be costly and unmanageable, Industry 4.0 can be low cost, easy to implement and use, and provide immediate value.
Renishaw's Set & Inspect software and Reporter software are a bite-size entry point to implementing a connected machine shop that anyone can do, and anyone can benefit from.
