Smart Factory vs CNC Troubleshooting

Smart Factory shows you in real time what every CNC machine in your shop is doing. The data comes automatically from the machine control. What you see in the app • Machine status: every machine live as Active, Change, Setup or Not Productive. • OEE: the OEE of each machine for today. • Performance: active time, productive time and utilization per machine and per period. • Timeline: per machine and per day, when it ran and when it stood still. • Parts: your parts with their NC programs, batches, photos and documents. • NC programs: compare two versions of an NC program and see what changed (PREMIUM). • Wallboard: show all machines on a smart TV in the shop. The Wallboard app for your TV is free. How it works The free Smart Factory Connector reads the data from your machine controls. It can connect automatically to Heidenhain, Siemens, Fanuc, Haas, Mazak and Okuma controls. Many machine builders use these controls, for example DMG MORI, Hermle, Grob, Chiron, Doosan, Matsuura, Hedelius, Nakamura-Tome and Citizen. You can set it up yourself in a few minutes. Account The app is free. Smart Factory itself is a subscription per machine. You sign in with your Smart Factory account. No account yet? Create one in the app with your email address.

Introducing the ultimate troubleshooting app for your CNC Machines, PLCs, and Robots with FANUC Drives! Say goodbye to expensive service engineer visits, which can cost an average of $5,000. With our comprehensive knowledge base (KB), even individuals with minimal CNC troubleshooting experience can effectively troubleshoot on their own, eliminating the need to wait for a service engineer. Our app provides step-by-step flowcharts that guide you through the troubleshooting process. All you need to do is answer a series of YES or NO questions. If you're unsure of the answer, don't worry—we offer helpful text assistance to help you find the right response. The primary goal is to narrow down the issue to one or two faulty parts. In many cases, purchasing and replacing these parts yourself can be both more cost-effective and faster than scheduling a CNC engineer visit. The app covers alarm and symptom-based approaches to troubleshooting, ensuring you have all the tools you need. Additionally, we provide detailed procedures for maintenance and safety to help you keep your machines running smoothly. In our upcoming versions, we will even include pictures and videos for enhanced visual guidance. We currently support troubleshooting for FANUC and SIEMENS CNC Machines, with more knowledge bases actively being added to expand our coverage. This makes our app a valuable resource for resolving issues across various models. Upgrade your troubleshooting capabilities with our app and empower yourself to resolve CNC machine problems swiftly and independently.
