MachineMetrics Service Predicts Machine Failures
PMTS 2019: The MachineMetrics Service application is a remote machine monitoring solution designed for OEM’s and equipment providers.
MachineMetrics’ Service application is a remote machine monitoring solution designed for OEM’s and equipment providers. This predictive application enables service teams to remotely monitor and manage machines in the field and at customer sites in real-time.
The company says that with this application, service managers and technicians can remotely monitor, manage, diagnose and resolve machine issues from connected equipment in the field and in real-time using the company’s cellular Edge device. This device can be installed or retrofit to any machine, according to the company. The device connects to the machine’s PLC and any additional sensors in the electrical cabinet of the machine and the collected data is shared with the equipment provider.
The data collected enables manufacturers to gain insight into an equipment’s health and condition, identify service opportunities with analytics and reporting, predict and deliver early warning of potential equipment failures, highlight elevated risk areas that lead to machine downtime and determine to take preventative action before it impacts a customer’s machine performance.

Why Are We Writing About a Shop Making Custom Baseball Bats?
I recently learned about a 153-year-old manufacturer that has produced billions upon billions of precision, metal pins which started another business making one-off wooden baseball bats. (Like I asked it to do for me and you’ll see at this year’s Precision Machining Technology Show). Here I explain why it’s worth the time to read that article.
