Record, evaluate, and visualize machine data with the StateMonitor software

How can I improve my manufacturing throughput? How can I keep an overview while operating multiple machines? Would investing in a new machine tool be worthwhile? StateMonitor helps you make decisions about production optimization.

The StateMonitor software is a monitoring and management solution that provides real-time insight into the production status of CNC machine tools. StateMonitor collects machine data and delivers a variety of detailed analyses. It can be used with all CNC controls.

By configuring its Messenger function, users can receive e-mails for defined events, alerting them to machine stoppages, completed programs, low coolant levels and more. A selection of software options lets you customize StateMontor’s functionality to your unique needs.

The new version 1.6.0 of StateMonitor offers the following new and improved features:

  • New: Collect, visualize and analyze energy data
  • New: Collect and analyze data from the TD 110 tool breakage detector
  • Improved: Analyze program run times

New StateMonitor capabiliites in version 1.6.0:

  • Energy monitoring: Connect additional sensors to collect data about your real-world energy consumption, including electrical power, compressed air and process water. Then analyze your energy costs per machine and part program.
  • Expanded program run time analysis: Evaluate total program run times in a special graph to identify non-productive periods and to gauge your efforts at increasing productive time.
  • Compatibility with TD 110 tool breakage detector: Use StateMonitor to send messages from the inductive TD 110 tool breakage detector. The software’s Messenger function will inform you the moment a broken tool is detected. You can also analyze your tool inspection results.

Freedom

How Václav Huta uses StateMonitor

New machines and technologies are supposed to provide more freedom. That's very important to Václav Huta. The owner of the Czech tool builder Nafo has now networked his machinery with the StateMonitor software from HEIDENHAIN.

Night flight to the moon

Endutec monitors the automated nighttime production of lunar vehicle parts using the StateMonitor machine data acquisition software (MDA)

How many parts manufacturers can claim that their workpieces will fly to the moon? Endutec, a twelve-man operation based near Lake Chiemsee in Germany, decided to reach for the stars: they milled 30 parts that were initially said to be unmillable. These components are now an integral part of the "Mission to the Moon," the first German lunar mission.

Voices from the workshop

"We can't put our data in the cloud, which is why we need monitoring software that works independently of the cloud. That way we retain control of our data."
       

Štefan Čabra
Director at Schelling, Slovakia

"We use StateMonitor to transfer evaluations of machine jobs into our ERP system. The large number of parts involved in tool making makes it immensely important to evaluate individual job times and door-to-door times."

Johannes Herzog
Team leader milling mold making at Toolcraft, Germany

"StateMonitor has made my job much easier while also giving me more possibilities. I can always check the situation in real time, without having to be anywhere near the machine."
      

Federico Vidali
User and CAD/CAM programmer at RS Meccanica, Italy

10 minutes of undetected machine downtime per shift with five machines in three-shift operation over 264 days at an hourly rate of 80 euros cost 52,800 euros a year.

You get an additional 3168 hours out of your spindle if the productive machine time is increased by 15 % when operating five machines in two shifts.

It takes just 3 minutes to connect your facility to StateMonitor over HEIDENHAIN DNC if your machine can be addressed over the network.

HEIDENHAIN DNC, OPC UA, MTConnect, or Modbus TCP: Your equipment can be connected to StateMonitor over four different interfaces.
