Hi Grant
that’s great, i have been looking onto this for a number of years and recording data for a few. i currently get inputs from the stack lights. we have some monitoring systems for Mazaks and other CNC but i was drawn to machines that weren’t logged and process equipment that a stack light could be installed, some punch presses, laminating presses for temperature, process systems ect. From a maintenance perspective (my role) as issues were always based on word of mouth and we didn’t have history. This is what i wanted to open up, first with temp cycles, did it spike, is the controller got an issue ect, then cnc monitoring, where are are gaps and why, tool setting ect, shift differences. what is the process time, can i count the cycles of processes and grow from here. i have state timeline and take three inputs, green, amber, red and go from there to form a picture. i have another effort on the go to form OEE but this is work in progress.
