Software & Data Acquisition
Our Software Integration team brings together years of experience in creating software to focus on three pillars of software solutions: Big Data, Process Improvement, and Software R&D. This enables us to bring our customers more connected machines, optimized processes, and knowledge of emerging technologies.
BIG DATA:
This group's work with Big Data turns vast amounts of production data into concise numbers that help our customers optimize their processes. Examples include:
a) Andon display boards that increase the visibility of a machine's current status and production counts
b) Data collection, mining, and analytics programs
c) Integrating equipment with existing customer MES systems and other business systems
​
​
​PROCESS IMPROVEMENT:
Process Improvement means leveraging custom-developed software to optimize tasks and processes further than typical automation hardware capabilities. Examples include:
a) Custom Internet-based recipe management portals that allow our customers to configure a wider range of parts
b) Custom software programs that allow customers to import CAD data and then mathematically optimize robot paths to reduce cycle times
c) Software that can automatically synchronize existing robot programs
​
​
​SOFTWARE R&D:
We can integrate existing networks and software with equipment to create manufacturing systems that are easy to control and run.
The benefit of this approach is manufacturing systems that are easier to control and run while increasing throughput and reducing production downtime.
