Real-time predictive maintenance for machine tools in precision manufacturing
When it comes to high-value essential components in manufacturing processes, getting it right the first time is essential, both from a cost and productivity standpoint. Companies that leverage precision manufacturing face challenges with visibility to wear and tear on tools used in these precision processes that can lead to higher failure rates.
With improved visibility to machine performance and wear data of tools while machines are running, better predictive maintenance schedules can be developed that help ensure manufactured components are not being built below spec due to tool degradation. At the same time, production uptime and productivity are improved due to more effective maintenance.
