In Sept 2014, DIGITECH installed Machine Status Monitoring System on 8 CNC Machines at M/s Andritz-Palwal, Near Faridabad (India). Mr. Sanjeev Bahl - Team Leader wanted to monitor all machines, 24 X 7 basis. The machine sizes are very big & so the jobs. Andritz was not much worried about "Part-Cout" on CNC, but wanted to know, "Productive time on each Machine. From each machines, 3 signals were taken for live monitoring. Bar Code scanner was fixed on each CNC. The operator reports back the reason of down time, using the Bar Code scanner.
The above time line of 14th Nov shows the details of each machine, along with time duration. The system gives monthly report as below- No person enters any data in EXCEL sheet.
Mr. sanjeev of Andritz was satisfied with the system.
