The rConnect central communications platform from GF Machining Solutions offers in-depth remote machine tool analysis. Its first phase is Live Remote Assistance (LRA), which enables customer-authorized assistance via the connection of machines to a GF Machining Solutions local diagnostics center and the company’s plants in real time. With LRA, either the manufacturer using the system or a GF Machining Solutions technician can conduct remote diagnostics and inspections. The company predicts that rConnect will serve as a bridge to technologies that could for example, predict the lifetime of machine components and consumables.
GF Machining Solutions will present several other Industry 4.0 technologies including its True Response to User Expectation (T.R.U.E.) and Integrated Vision Units (IVUs).
