cronetwork machine data is a powerful system for automatic transfer of machine states, piece counts and process data. The availability of current information and analyses of machines data provide you with decisive benefits for optimum utilization of your capacity potential.

Machine data are transferred via a flexible, scaleable field bus system, via OPC or via direct connection to your machine controls or to your HMI/SCADA system.

Flexible configurability for diverse applications

• Machine data transfer related to job/order (e.g., piece to an order)
• Machine data transfer independently of job (e.g., run time and down time of a machine)
• Automation of feedback processes (e.g., interruption of the production signal automatically generates a partial completion report at the terminal)
• Automatic transfer or manual input of failure reasons
• Operatorless operation

Your benefits

• You achieve more transparency in your production.
  cronetwork machine data enables uninterrupted analyses of and statistics for machine data to serve as the basis for performance-oriented data.

• You minimize the costs of down time.
  Real-time collection of performance and state data facilitates the detection of weaknesses and so the improvement of economy.

• You relieve your employees.
  Via automatic transfer of machine data, cronetwork supports employees in plant data collection and largely precludes input errors.

• You work economically and flexibly.
  cronetwork collects machine data without the need for conventional expensive MDC terminals. Extensive variants in parameterization and scaling assure flexible and adaptive application options.

• You optimize your capacity utilization.
  cronetwork lets you objectively determine machine degree of utilization whether or not the machine is equipped with controls. By collecting run times, cronetwork provides information on the actual utilization of machines based on real machine data.

• You receive meaningful information from your data.
  The collected data are provided in standardized form and so easy and effectively analyzed. As an optimum complement to cronetwork machine data, the query tool cronetwork production info allows you to create your own analyses, e.g., of utilization, failure causes, or scrap reasons.

• cronetwork plant data
• cronetwork process data

cronetwork machine data can be employed in conjunction with cronetwork plant data or as a standalone module.

Due to the full integration of the cronetwork system, later introduction of additional modules is possible without additional effort.
