Smarter Shop Floor with Cloud-Based Monitoring

With their 5-axis CNC machines already running 24 hours a day up to 7 days a week, Tech Manufacturing, looked towards smarter operation and real-time performance data to increase the productivity and useful life of their existing machines.


“We needed a better understanding of how our machines were actually performing for us in real-time. Live and historical machine performance data would also help us identify technical or process issues that were detrimental to productivity,” said Jerry Halley, Chief Engineer of Tech Manufacturing.

"Getting our CNC machines connected and monitored has made it much easier for us to deliver on our clients’ build to print orders with maximum efficiency and minimum lead time. It is a lot easier to get connected than a lot of people may realize."
