Machine Monitoring System
Gives Real-Time KPI,
OEE Data
Scytec's cloud-based DataXchange machine mon-
itoring system reduces downtime by providing live
notifications of machine issues via text or email. Its
customizable dashboards enable manufacturers to
communicate with employees about productivity. It
provides key performance indicators (KPIs) and
overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) data in real
time. Machine monitoring such as this can increase
productivity by as much as 25 percent, according to
Shop Floor Automa-
tions, a reseller of
the system.
The system's
updated features
include new OEE
reports, integration
with OPC UA protocol
and Caron engineering
software. New abilities
include multiple parts
per hour views, addi-
tional rotation interval
options and a data
entry interface with email notes.
The software can be integrated with a range of
equipment including CNC machines, robots, grinders,
lasers, waterjets and other fabrication machines.
