Step 4: Monitoring
Industry 4.0 – monitor and evaluate various different data.
Access the data in real time
As a sheet metal processing company faced with a growing number of product variants and shorter order times, you need a strategy to remain viable in the future. Standing still is not an option. The industry 4.0 interface comprises a collection of data that can be accessed in real time and then processed externally.
This data includes e.g. the following information:
- Which order is currently being processed
- When was the start signal sent to the controller
- When was a new processing stage activated (e.g. processing stage #2 was started 45 seconds after the program was launched)
- Info on the number of parts, number of holes and number of geometrical elements are supplied for each processing stage
- When was the program paused or even cancelled by the user
- When was the program cancelled due to an error on the controller
- When was the program successfully completed
