MCS

Machine monitoring of the future - discover process inefficiency and create a lean manufacturing process with just a few clicks.

MCS (Machine Communication System) connects to every machine in your factory, tracks what they do 24/7, and stores that data indefinitely. You no longer need to walk around your factory with a clipboard to see what each machine is up to.

Real, Meaningful, Efficient Communication.

Your Operators have valuable input. Your machine utilization is key to your business’ bottom line. You want to make to most of your investment. We can help you bring all of that together in a simple to use and easy to understand solution.

Monitor CNC machines and CMM’s in real time
Open architecture: own your data
Connect to anything, even older machines
Run lights out and see everything: MCS gives live data so you'll know when your machines are up or down and why. How long is it taking between runs? Are you running to capacity? Do you even know your capacity?
User Friendly: After MCS is setup in your shop, it usually only takes a short training session for the management and the operators to become a fully integrated part of your process.

MCS provides deeper insights than what you can see by simply looking.

Get live data so you’ll know when your machines are up or down and why. How long is it taking between runs? Are you running to capacity? Do you even know your capacity? Get the most out of each machine with MCS.

The best part is, it’s completely web based. Once MCS is installed in your facility, you can log in from any computer on the network and see reports, charts, and productivity in real time. You can even schedule and manage maintenance.

Testimonial

What They Say

MCS has given us increased visibility to track machine productivity and efficiency which allows us to ensure we get the maximum return on our investments.

We installed MCS and thought we'd let it run for a few weeks to collect data before taking a hard look at it. In that time, our operators could see their own stats and corrected themselves as to cycles and feed rates. We didn't even have to say anything to them.
