System Insights provides services for MTConnect implementation, validation, training, and customization. These include:

MTConnect Training and Verification: We provide the training required for manufacturing plants to become fully MTConnect compliant. This includes training to develop applications that leverage the MTConnect standard, as well as compliance validation for the applications based on the latest version of the standard.

MTConnect Application Customization and Deployment: We provide services to customize and deploy MTConnect applications in manufacturing systems. This includes identification of compatible and incompatible legacy hardware in the system, development of required MTConnect software tools to allow legacy systems to communicate in the standard, installation and deployment of MTConnect applications in industrial environments, and integration of MTConnect-based tools with existing ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) and MIS (Management Information System) applications.

Complex Machine Tool Modeling: We will create MTConnect models for even the most complex machine, legacy or new, for a reasonable price. We will also maintain models as the standard evolves and make sure you have the most complete and most accurate model available.

Modeling Examples

Two Headed Gantry, Parallel X Axes

This model presents many problems that are currently being worked on in WG 2. Leading this effort we are providing models that will support parallel joined axes. We provide a model that captures this complex structure and still provide enough context to accurately analyze the workings of the machine.

Each milling head can have 4 separate axes of motion:

This is a visual representation that will then be translated into XML and provide descriptions of the structure and all the capabilities of the machine.

14 Axis Mull-turn

A 14 axes mill turn is also a very complex design. We have proposed an MTConnect model that captures multiple paths and the full structural complexity. This will allow each path to operate separately and track tool path and coordinates as the machine executes multiple programs in parallel.

Here we have the structure of this machine.
