HMUSA 2022 Conference: Edge Computing for Machine Tools

About the presentation
As manufacturers continue their Industry 4.0 journey, they’re looking to expand their Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) capabilities. Manufacturing engineers want actionable insights to increase machine productivity, and data scientists are searching for higher quality statistics for digital twin modeling, all while in an existing CNC installed base. Edge computing allows manufacturers to flexibly extend the capabilities of their shop floor without making major investments to upgrade machine tools or network infrastructure. Because data collection and processing are handled on an edge device, CNC performance and network traffic are minimally affected. New use cases, including in-cycle process monitoring and anomaly detection, machine health monitoring, and big data analytics, can be addressed. The separation of computing from CNC permits new data models, monitoring thresholds, or entire applications to be deployed to a fleet of machine tools without taking them out of production. Edge computing fosters collaboration between OT and IT.
