As any manufacturing business grows, so does the need to impart better production monitoring and control. In the digital age, increasing numbers are turning to PC-based IoT software tools. But which one to select? As Lettner Metallbearbeitung reveals, there are many arguments in favour of MT-LINKđť‘– from FANUC.
With business evolution and growth, many manufacturers find themselves running a disparate assortment of machinery, automation and other production systems, often supplied by many different vendors. This situation makes some production plants think that effective data management using a single IIoT platform is not possible. Well, FANUC’s FIELD system proves this thinking is misplaced, as Italy-based Trafime can confirm.
When ZPM wanted to increase its machine and robot utilisation, support the company’s vertically integrated manufacturing strategy and map its output more precisely, it turned to FANUC’s MT-LINK𝑖. With this advanced software, manufacturers like ZPM can supervise and manage data from one to 2,000 machines, robots and PLC systems.
