About MTConnect®
MTConnect is a set of open, royalty-free standards for manufacturing equipment that uses XML and Internet Protocol technology as a common communication link to extract machine data. This extensible set of standard was developed and advanced by users of the standard, allowing it to be built to meet the needs of manufacturers instead of a single machine producer or corporation.
Benefits of MTConnect:
-Standardized vocabulary and semantics of the information models reduces integration time and cost
-Provides common protocol for many machine tool types and vintages
-Allows solutions to gather data from CNCs, sensors, data acquisition units, operators, etc.
-Read-only (safe)
-Developed & advanced by users of the standard – no corporate influence
-Uses prevalent standards – HTTP & XML
MTConnect provides access to data for:
-Monitoring (Utilization, OEE)
-Predictive Maintenance
-Dynamic Job Rooting/Scheduling
-Lights-Out Manufacturing
-Process Analysis
-Digital Thread
-Integration to business systems (MES, ERP, etc.)
