Existing monitoring, analytics and digitalization solutions for manufacturing digitalizations:
- Don’t allow for connectivity of different CNC machines (brands and models)
- Are not open to reverse engineering and/or retrofitting.
- Have closed or traditional business models, which with the size of the organization turn into a very considerable cost, with questionable RoI.
- Are focusing on machine manufacturing data only, not cross-referencing it with orders, maintenance data, and data from external sensors to enable in-depth analysis.
- Are heavy to support with on-premise insecure implementations.
- Aren’t scalable as they were built on closed systems or not relying on the ever-evolving cloud security, functionalities, and stability.
- Rely on proprietary hardware or edge device that needs to be installed physically in the factory.
- Need periodical physical checks and updates not available over the air.
