SkyMonitor "Monitoring CNC stations helped to streamline our production "
Iisalmi-based machine shop Timaco wanted to monitor the operating data of its CNC stations and use it to find measures to further prevent idle operation and machine failures. The utilization rate of CNC machines has increased due to the improvements observed in monitoring status data.
What was made?
SkyMonitor OEE – Production Monitoring was customized for Timaco’s needs and was connected to automatically retrieve status information for each CNC station approximately every second. The information is presented in a timeline that allows you to quickly see when the machine has been working, when there has been setup time, when the machine has been stopped, and how many operating disturbances there have been.
The CNC machinist has a computer at his workstation, where he can make notes of the causes of interruptions and, for example, chat directly with the supervisor about solutions to machine failures. The program can also make stamps.
From the production screen, work management can see the situation of the machines in real time and thus remain well informed.
The machining times are also saved for fine load in our SkyPlanner fine load software.
The software has always been developed to meet new needs and needs, and it fits perfectly into Timaco's operations.
