The manufacturing world is drowning in data. A recent study published by The Economist evaluates the current state of manufacturing data.

What is simulation, exactly? It’s the imitation of a real-world process or system. It uses a model that contains all the assumptions, behaviors, and relationships contained in that system.

Over the course of 20 years, I’ve visited hundreds of different factory floors and seen a wide variety of manufacturers implement data collection and statistical process control (SPC) solutions.

Reverse engineering (RE) is the process of converting an actual object into a virtual 3-D model.

Multi-DNC supports the Haas Machine Data Collection (MDC) feature by providing networking, DNC communications, machine monitoring and reporting, all from a single platform.

Like many other areas of manufacturing, it is easy to be dazzled by the “latest and greatest” technology and so overlook simpler, cheaper options that might be more suitable for a particular need.

Many ideas can spring to mind when one hears the term reverse engineering.

The demands on industrial data collection systems have continued to grow year over year for advances in speed, labor cost reduction, error proofing, maintainability, flexibility, accuracy, training efficiency, and exception reporting.

Visualize a typist stationed at every point of data entry in a manufacturing facility. Imagine a data acquisition process that is automated, error free and very cost effective.
