GE Fanuc introduced its new miView software to help companies improve machining processes and eliminate waste. It is a web-based application that allows information to be accessed anywhere on the network without per-user licensing. It provides data collection from GE Fanuc, FANUC, Siemens, and other third-party computer numerically controlled (CNCs) integrated into new and existing machine tools.
Using miView, companies can minimize downtime and optimize machining cycle times generating additional production capacity.
The software collects information on a spindle use for every part on each machine, capturing how much of the cycle time the equipment is actually in cutting mode. You can determine CAM system post processor efficiency. The product is said to uncover discrepancies between different machines producing the same part. This information may be helpful when considering shop loading or future machine purchases.
miView can be used to evaluate best practices, process improvement, and profitability of each job for each customer. In addition, the software can assist maintenance personnel with real-time machine status and escalating alerts to ensure faster response to equipment downtime.
