Makino real-time machine process monitoring and data management software

Makino has released its new real-time machine process monitoring and data management software solution, MPmax (Machine Productivity Maximizer).

By connecting multiple machines on a single network to a centralised computer, MPmax enables manufacturers to retrieve, store and analyse high volumes of machine data in real time. MPmax offers data management capabilities for a variety of key machine performance features, including multiple machine status monitoring, machine utilisation, alarms, probe data analysis, spindle and axis movement, machine power (available only with the machine power monitor option) and tool management work scheduling. The software provides additional capabilities for remote viewing, allowing operators and management the capability to respond to and track processes as they occur without interrupting other day-to-day activities (available only with machines having cameras). E-mail notification capabilities enable operators to deliver current machine status information to their service department, including alarm texts and images of the work zone.
