How to Unleash Manufacturing Excellence Through Machine Tool Monitoring
Attendees qualify for a certificate of completion.
In machining, the importance of data collection cannot be overstated, as it transforms raw operational data into actionable insights. This process involves capturing a wide range of information generated by CNC machines during their operation, which can be classified into several key areas:
- Machine Status
- Process Parameters
- Part Metrics
- Power Consumption
These data points provide benefits like optimized production, access to predictive maintenance, sustained product quality and enhanced operational decision making. SMS can leverage a wide range of data collection tools and workflows to accomplish these goals. OEE, or overall equipment effectiveness, is a metric used to evaluate the efficiency and productivity of a manufacturing process by measuring 3 factors: availability, performance and quality.
Learning objectives:
- Understand common data inputs used in machining processes.
- Explore the benefits of monitoring machining data inputs.
- Identify tools that can be leveraged to accomplish data monitoring goals.
- Learn about they key components of OEE and how to invest and improve the factors that significantly impact OEE.
