Renishaw Data Platform Promotes Connected Shop Floor
Renishaw Central collects metrology, status and alarm data from connected devices across the shop floor.
Renishaw’s new Central manufacturing connectivity and data platform enhances connectivity on the machine shop floor, promoting highly efficient, productive operations with optimized processes, reduced downtime and minimized waste.
Renishaw Central collects metrology, status and alarm data from connected devices across the shop floor. Devices include additive manufacturing (AM) systems, on-machine measurements systems, shop floor gauging, and co-ordinate measuring machines (CMMs). With insight into the process performance of each workstation, manufacturers have a better understanding of where to take corrective measures. In unattended processes, the status of devices can be monitored remotely. If any errors occur, they are detected and displayed within the Central platform's dashboards or other third-party applications.
“The platform operates on-premises, allows shop administrators to own their data, and ensures that process control is automated without depending on an internet connection,” says Brandon Golab, machine tool product manager at Renishaw Inc. “Connectivity, consistency and control drives confidence and, in-turn, the development of future factory concepts.”
