Connect your machines, revolutionize your workflow
In the fast-paced world of manufacturing, efficiency and precision are paramount. As technology advances, so do the tools and systems that support manufacturing processes. One such innovation is the integration of Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMMs) into a connected network. Connecting your CMMs can revolutionize your workflow, providing numerous benefits that can lead to improved productivity, accuracy, and overall operational efficiency (OOE).
JITbase is more than just a machine monitoring software. JITbase offers enhanced features for CMM machines, including real-time inspection tracking for operators, an inspection dashboard for upcoming inspections, and detailed analytics on first-off article and first-off inspection
Benefits of Connecting CMM Machines
- Monitoring Up-Time and Usage Rates
-
Real-time Inspection Tracking and Improved Collaboration Between Inspection and Production
-
Dashboard for the Inspection Department To Reduce Delays
-
Complete Analysis of the Machining Process
-
Streamlined Workflow Integration
Monitoring each step of the machining process in real time, from setup to production, including FAI, allows operations to be better planned and adjusted as needed.
JITbase offers a ‘live’ planning solution which allows you to visualize the progress of the different stages of the production process at all times.
Implementing a Connected CMM Network
Transitioning to a connected CMM network requires careful planning and execution. Here are some steps to consider:
- Assess Current Infrastructure: Modern CMM machines can be plugged into your internal network via an Ethernet cable. Depending on the machine brands, a communication protocol will be available or must be installed on the machine to generate data.
- Connecting your CMM machines to your network: Make the Ethernet wire connection to make them available on your internal network. Configure a fixed IP address for the machine and validate the port to access the communication protocol.
- Adding machines to JITbase: With the correct communication protocol installed, JITbase is able to instantly capture data from your CMM machines accessible on your internal network. Simply add the IP address and port of your CMM machine into your JITbase environment… and voilà!
