The simple, hassle-free way to find out more
Digital production solutions come into play wherever there is the potential to reduce downtime. The aim is to increase the spindle runtime (when you actually earn money) in relation to the overall machine runtime (which also includes non-productive time).
On our page covering this topic we will introduce you to our digital solution Connected Manufacturing. Connected Manufacturing offers a simple and flexible solution to take your production into the digital world. Using a practical example, we will show you how Connected Manufacturing significantly optimised profitability. In this specific case, a 33% increase in the utilisation of spindle runtime was achieved across all machines used.
