CNC Process Improvement and Preventative Maintenance
Use Case
Predictive machine maintenance drives better uptime for your operations
CNC machines are essential to the die casting process in the automotive industry. With many manufacturers facing skilled human resource shortages, finding ways to improve yields from production can be a challenge.
At the heart of process improvement is improving on the CNC operation by comparing to similar or identical machining processes on other CNC machines. This comparison can also be done by part type to show where optimizations can be made in the CNC part programs. As success rates increase, productivity increases at a quicker ratio. With the benefit of machine learning and actionable recommendations, customers can dramatically reduce trial and error methods within CNC machining operations. At the same time, predictive machine maintenance drives better uptime for your operations.
