MTConnect标准化数据以启用设备,系统和设备之间的互操作性。通过实施标准化数据的解决方案,制造商可以在不同的品牌和设备模型上驱动有价值的应用程序。
mtConnectprovides a machine-to-machine or machine-to-enterprise communication vocabulary that ensures equipment with similar standardized functions can communicate. As a technical standard, MTConnect enables the retrieval of information from machine tools in order to monitor performance and analyze production data.
一些人将mtConnect描述为“制造蓝牙”,因为它允许在两个“说”相同语言的设备之间进行公开数据流。以前,制造设备,设备和软件应用程序没有简单的方法来互相交谈。原因:他们没有共同的语言。
mtConnecttakes this countless number of manufacturing equipment, devices, and software, and provides a common language for these systems to communicate. This common language makes it possible to monitor things like the amount of time a machine is in cycle, the delays (downtime) it experiences, and any number of things that can be measured and monitored with data.
阅读我们的完整文章:What is MTConnect?
机器和设备制造商遵守MTConnect standard enable machine-to-machine and machine-to-enterprise communication among those devices and systems via the standardized data item definitions. To a degree, this helps to solve the problem presented by unique proprietary data formats from each connected machine asset. This wide variety of unique data makes the information far less actionable and puts the burden on the end-user to manually standardize the data into a common model. MTConnect is helping to standardize this.
问题在于,许多设备提供商继续使用专有数据格式,许多制造商继续使用旧设备。幸运的是,越来越多的机器构建器符合MTConnect标准。其他人则提供最终用户可以轻松部署的开箱即用适配器。
根据mtConnect, “The MTConnect standard (ANSI/MTC1. 4-2018) offers a semantic vocabulary for manufacturing equipment to provide structured, contextualized data with no proprietary format. With uniform data, developers and integrators can focus on useful, productive manufacturing applications rather than translation.”
MTConnect标准定义了数据标签和软件代理的行为,该标准的形式是标准化的数据模型和语义词汇的形式。机器和控制构建者可以决定使用MTConnect作为其母语,也可能有必要使用适配器将专有数据转换为MTConnect数据定义。设备构建器可能具有开箱即用的适配器可供使用(例如,Okuma)或用户可能必须利用第三方适配器。
MTConnect适配器只需将设备(机器资产,控制,传感器等)的语言转换为MTConnect数据定义。MTConnect适配器可以由最终用户构建的设备制造商提供,也可以从第三方软件提供商购买。
For equipment that uses MTConnect as its native language, an adapter would not be necessary.
MTConnect代理是一块软件,可从适配器或直接从机器收集MTConnect数据(如果资产使用MTConnect作为本地语言)。
代理将接收并处理从应用程序制作的数据的请求。这些应用程序可以是OEE软件,机器监控软件,MES等。
是的,mtConnect是免费的。
作为公开,可扩展的标准,mtConnect没有许可费。最终用户可以自由使用MTConnect和Machine Builder,设备制造商和软件提供商,也可以将MTConnect集成到其产品中,只要他们接受MTConnect许可协议即可。
This is a challenging question to answer directly, as it depends entirely on the machine or equipment with which you are trying to connect. However, there are essentially three types of connections possible, based on the MTConnect capabilities (or lack thereof) of the equipment in question:
这是像Machemetrics这样的连接解决方案发挥作用的地方。Machinemetrics是一个工业数据平台,可与包括旧机器在内的任何品牌和型号的连接。
MachineMetrics是使用制造设备数据收集,监视,分析和驱动动作的领先平台。我们的平台很容易从制造设备中捕获数据,并提供了一个完整的工具包,以推动前线工人和其他工厂地板系统的可行见解,以提高生产效率和质量。
Whether the equipment is MTConnect native or not, you can easily connect and collect data across all your devices for complete operational visibility.
