Extended OPC-UA interface and global availability of the LiveStatus app: Agathon customers will now benefit from even more options within the company’s Industry 4.0 offering.
The advanced OPC-UA interface has been available worldwide for all Agathon grinding machines of the latest generation since the last software update. With the Agathon OPC-UA interface, the customer links his Agathon machines with the company-specific production planning system and other central systems. In this way, the customer not only gets an overview of the state of his Agathon machines, but also obtains reliable data to determine the productivity and to statistically evaluate the production over time. Thus, the customer obtains factual information for his production planning and for the further improvement of the Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE). For companies that do not have their own production planning system, Agathon also offers PiSolutions, an on premise MES solution for efficient production control.
The fact that the Agathon LiveStatus is now available worldwide should be particularly pleasing to customers in East and Southeast Asia. In the future, companies in these regions will also benefit from Agathon’s cloud-based IIoT solution. With LiveStatus, data about the current status of the current grinding jobs and the tools used is transmitted to the app, which is located on one or more mobile devices. For example, the user always knows when grinding jobs have been completed and can plan follow-up jobs accordingly. He also does not need to be standing at the machine to supervise grinding jobs, but can devote himself to other tasks. Thanks to the transparent display on the monitor of the desktop PC, cooperation is also simplified and shift changes can be done conveniently.
