Marposs adds data management software
Summary
Marposs’ C-THRU4.0 software enables a direct connection between a production level process monitoring system or T1 terminal and production control with an overarching ERP system to deliver machine, operating, order, maintenance, quality and process data in ‘real time’ to all departments of the company. “Prior to this software we had to review data manually,” reports Joe Bortolameolli, product specialist at Brankamp. “With C-THRU4.0, the machine monitoring information is available in ‘real time’ through the company network, providing a transparent connection between machine, process and production.” To initiate C-THRU4.0, data collected from the monitoring processes is coordinated with customers’ cost and resource information to provide a dashboard that meets customers’ needs. Uniform industry standards such as OPC-UA or MQTT enable us to work together with the customer on the implementation of the digital factory,” explains Marposs. The monitoring devices of the Marposs Brankamp product line represent an important source of data and a means of communication for connecting the machines to the higher level management system.
