The data is collected from the CNC Controllers using Ethernet or if needed LAN Cards or PLCs. For some older machines, some additional hardware may be required to make it digiFAC compatible.
We have experience of connecting with Controllers such as,
- Fanuc (i-series/non i-series)
- Mitsubishi (M700/M70/M80/M800)
- Siemens (828D, 840D SL)
- Heidenhain (iTNC530 enabled DNC)
- Mori Seki or DMG Mori (FANUC / Mitsubishi based)
- Makino (Professional Controller)
- Mazak FZ controller, Citizen Cincom, Akira Seiki etc.
For other controllers or OLDER (Legacy) controllers, we have a PLC-based Solution.
The data is collected and stored in the digiFAC Core Box (on the customer premises). There is NO Cloud based database; hence the data will be secure in the company network itself.
The data collected from different machines is normalized into a single digiFAC recognized format and is consolidated on the same web and phone platform. Machines even at different geographic locations can be connected and added to the same system (User Platform).
