Gain insights to your workshop
Planning for availability in your workshop requires transparency into all operations. While manual collection of data and documentation becomes tedious and time-consuming, a connected machine will offer new possibilities for transparency, optimized planning and a streamlined production. These are only a few examples of the benefits created in the organization:
- Plant management: Increase overall efficiency and meet delivery demands with quality and profitability.
- Production engineering: Improve processes, facilitate capacity planning and secure that operations are carried out in a cost-efficient manner.
- Production management: Optimize operations and collaboration within workshops and between factories in order to reduce cost.
- Operators: Feedback and contribute to insights for optimization of the manufacturing process and machine operations.

1. Collect data
Uncover opportunities for improvements and a deeper, more accurate, understanding of the manufacturing process with data directly from your machines.
Add information directly from the operator on why a machine is not cutting metal to further improve understanding of stop causes and process performance.
Dashboard available through browser.
2. Get insights
Get insights on your machine utilization and performance with reports consisting of real-time and historical data. With access to data about when a machine is running and not, stop causes, faults and alarm reasons it is possible to gain insights into optimization opportunities. Improvements in resource planning, asset management and cost and time prediction are enabled through insights facilitated through dashboards that accessible a browser on any device.
Tickets and tasks for follow-up and optimization.
3. Take actions
Utilize tickets to improve communication throughout the workshop and take action on opportunities to optimize activities. This collaboration functionality enables actions with follow-up, problem solving, process improvement and act with speed in a collaborative environment.

Features
Machine utilization dashboards
Shop floor operations is visualized in real time, where production events and disruptions are highlighted. Equipment utilization, part production, workforce productivity and asset health are monitored and easily managed.
Performance reports
Historic shop floor performance is visualized; production insights, set-up time and unplanned as well as planned downtime duration.
Connect to other systems through APIs
Information exchange is enabled with enterprise applications, including ERP, EAM and MES systems using APIs.
Operator panel for input
Configurable panels enable operators to classify downtime reasons and improve shop floor communication. Comments can be added and tickets can be created.
Operator instructions
Work instructions contained in a knowledge base are provided to operators at any stage of the machining process. Instructions can be automatically trigged by an event in the machine.
Alerts for unattended machining
Notifications are sent to defined functions when an unattended machine needs attention. Alerts are triggered based on deviances from set process parameters.
Tool performance reports
Historic tool utilization is visualized; cutting duration per workpiece and machine.
Tickets
Tickets and improvement areas are documented and shared according to customizable rules. Notifications are sent by e-mail.

How it works
The solution is deployed as a cloud-based application without any hardware installations. It is accessible from any tablet, phone or computer with an internet connection.
Most machines younger than 10 years old can be connected with the solution. For details, consult you local Sandvik Coromant representative. The machines need to be connected to an Ethernet factory network with a server. Data is collected from the machines via the factory network.
A software program is installed on for example a factory server provided. The software program collects data from machines via the factory network which is then streamed as compressed data to the platform in the cloud.
Users access the application using any modern and up-to-date web browsers. Recommended browsers are Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox.
