Intuitive user interface

Practical, intuitive, and user-friendly: the StateMonitor user interface gives you a rapid overview of the current production status. In the Machines, Messenger, Jobs, Maintenance, and Evaluations menus, you’ll find all of the functions you need to enable the individualized collection, evaluation, and analysis of machine data, thereby allowing you to keep a continual an eye on machine availability and the utilization rate.

Clear presentation of the machine status

With the StateMonitor software, you can always keep a close eye on the current status of your machines. The Existing machinery screen gives you a real-time view of the production status for every machine. And since you can use StateMonitor on mobile end devices, you don’t have to physically be on the production floor to access this information. During a meeting or while in the office, important information about the machines is ready at hand. Based on your preferences and enabled functions, you can even use StateMonitor to access production data outside of your corporate network.

Overview of machine statuses

The Machine Status button gives you access to information about the machine status, override settings, tool data, signal notifications, and machine messages.

Graphical productivity view

The Status overview provides you with a graphical and complete overview of the machine park. A pie chart makes it immediately clear how many machines are productive, not ready for operation, or not in use. You can also find out more about the availability and utilization rate of your machines. In addition, the status overview allows you to define machines about which you would like to receive information on the operating mode or program.

“Day view” of the machine statuses

The “Day view” gives you a detailed overview of the recorded machine statuses along a timeline. This allows you to evaluate key metrics such as the utilization rate and availability for each machine. You can also view additional saved information to include in your key metric analysis.

Individualized messaging functions

Using StateMonitor eliminates the need to stand next to the machine tool at all times. Its Messenger functions inform you about whether your machine is currently productive, whether malfunctions are occurring, or whether maintenance is pending: all per e-mail or SMS on your smart phone or tablet. You can define who will receive which notifications.

The intervals at which StateMonitor sends a message can also be configured, as well as who receives notifications for which events—including people outside of the corporate network. As a result, you can always respond quickly when needed. Fewer interruptions mean greater productivity.

Convenient job organization with JobTerminal

The JobTerminal software option lets you create or assign jobs or working steps, manually or automatically plan setup and production times, save job data, and define machining sequences. This gives you full information about pending, currently running, and completed jobs at all times wherever you are. The collection of operating data is fast, easy, and centralized.
This is your data pool for analyzing jobs in greater detail. JobTerminal also supports you in the collection and post-calculation of job times.

Customizable organization of maintenance tasks

The more complex a production machine is, the more critical maintenance and troubleshooting become. The goal must be to maximize equipment availability while minimizing costly production downtime. The “Maintenances” submenu lets you consolidate maintenance tasks for maintenance intervals as needed. A wide variety of configuration possibilities are available to you for this purpose. This keeps you from incurring unnecessary costs from maintenance tasks performed prematurely or too late. Your maintenance intervals can be created from a combination of maintenance periods and operating hours, or even machine messages and sensor statuses.

Even with optimal maintenance, malfunctions can never be completely ruled out. To enable a fast response in such cases, StateMonitor can log and report malfunctions, as well as immediately notify the appropriate staff member. This can save you valuable time during troubleshooting. The software’s log functionality can help you weigh up possible optimization investments based on solid data.

Detailed analysis of the machine statuses

If you wish to uncover potential for improvement and boost your throughput, informative machine analyses are essential. For this purpose, StateMonitor offers numerous possibilities under the Evaluations menu item.
