92-2 Objectives Discuss the goal of e-Manufacturing Define InterNetworking and describe its effects on machine tools Identify the benefits of extending Ethernet connectivity to the factory floor Define e-Service Portal and list the benefits of Platinum Maintenance Service

92-3 e-Manufacturing About increasing need for communications –To and from factory floor and customer Manufacturers that use machine tools need to improve productivity by taking advantage of any new automation technology Automation technology key to minimizing costs and maintaining consistent quality –Need to automate automation

92-4 Internetworking Standard Today, modern machine tools remain closed islands of automation –Need to network into enterprise-wide information system –Lack of connectivity represents huge constraint in productivity Goal is creation of InterNetworking standard that makes every machine tool node on corporate network

92-5 Connecting Machine Tools Release information from each machine and allow management to increase profitability Machine tools become servers of information in real time Missing element has been universal bridge between Industrial Automation and Information Technology sector Open architecture platform being introduced by e-Manufacturing Networks, Inc.

92-6 CNC Machine Tools Dumb islands of technology-not networked Made to run only part programs well Cut off from management information system Mostly closed embedded systems Not being used to full potential

92-7 InterNetworking Secure, open architecture platform that turns every machine tool into node on corporate network Technology of networking tools over Internet around since mid 1990s –Hardware and software turns machine tool controls into Web servers

92-8 InterNetworking Web appliance is a machine tool that is a node and connects point of production to managements information system –Real time operations e-Commerce changed way we do business e-Manufacturing will prove to maintain rapid rate of change

92-9 Standard Operating System Will allow integration with other levels in corporation OMAC (Open Modular Architecture Controls) Users Groups been working on open standard since Dec –Focus to extend open architecture to CNCs

92-10 Benefits of Extending Ethernet Connectivity to Factory Floor Cost savings in terms of reduced inventory and operational expense Faster production as bandwidth and speed are increased tenfold Improved service as result of remote diagnostics –Less downtime Better, more informed decisions by management

92-11 Theory of Constraints (TOC) Applied in automated way Identifying, monitoring, and optimizing bottlenecks in value chain process Bottleneck in manufacturing –Operations on factory floor linear, dependent, and statistically variable in time –Machining start-stop-wait-repeat process –Real-time data would eliminate or significantly reduce wait-periods

92-12 Machine Tools as Smart Partners Concept of an ever-optimizing neural network onto shop floor Bring new class of service –Remote monitoring done from anywhere –Diagnostics and parts program recovery done from any location –Provided automatically when tool control sends out alert – self-healing

92-13 Ethernet Connectivity Goal to make every machine tool node on corporate network IP address available on Internet –Identify –Monitor –Optimize Allows real-time monitoring, remote diagnostics and 24/7 maintenance via Internet

92-14 Direct CNC Internetworks for the Shop Floor Requires high-speed Ethernet technology extended to CNC Shop floor information systems –Direct Numerical Control (DNC) –Manufacturing Execution systems (MES) –Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition –Statistical Process Control (SPC) –Cellular Manufacturing

92-15 Features of the Network Optimization Product Line Ethernet DNC systems Ethernet-based Fanuc ® memory upgrades Ethernet to serial convertors for CNCs Next generation Ethernet Behind Tape Readers (BTRs) with memory Ethernet-based FMS cell controller solutions NT-based remote CNC monitoring software Fanuc® Open Systems Interconnection and FTP Ethernet connectivity solutions

92-16 Benefits of InterNetworking 1.Links e-Commerce (Point of Sale) to e-Manufacturing (Point of Production) 2.Creates a "Bloomberg-like" real time shop floor information system 3.Enables remote monitoring, diagnostics and repair 4.Increase machine throughput up to 55% 5.Better leverages capital invested in equipment and training

92-17 Internetworking Factory Floors to the World e-Manufacturing networks make machine tool node on corporate network Unique CNC knowledge provide Ethernet- based machine tool connectivity NetDNC transforms machine tool into on-line server of information Gives managers ability to monitor and remotely control via Internet

92-18 e-Service Portal Provide diagnostic maintenance for factory floor in real time Platinum Maintenance Service provides –Backup of CNC parameters –Fast reinstallation –Notification of downtime –Service requirements –Remote diagnostics –Automatic code repair –Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP)

92-19 e-Commerce Portal CNCpartslocator.com (CPL) fastest on-line source of new and used CNC parts Goal to have comprehensive list of CNC parts to allow finding critical part quickly CPL brings together global network of dealers, suppliers, and OEMs CPL able to market to the world

92-20 Summary Goal of e-Manufacturing to create InterNetworking standard that makes every machine tool a node on corporate network Connecting machine tools will release information and increase profitability Adjoining open architecture enable better flow of information CNC tools not used to fullest potential – act as stand-alones
