"MDC
(Manufacturing Data Collection) is an excellent data collection tool that tracks
and reports machine activity, helping to streamline jobs on the shop floor,"
said a company spokesperson. "Yet it can be just as important to monitor machine
inactivity - especially for a company's maintenance department. MDC also proves
to be a superb tool for that job too."
"MDC tracks machine status and helps the maintenance department identify machines that are down for repair and those that are down for preventative maintenance," said the spokesperson. "This is accomplished using MDC's special interface called Machine Service Summary."
Machine Service Summaries allow maintenance personnel to record and track all service activities on every machine on the shop floor. If a machine goes down, maintenance personnel can document the specific machine that is down, the exact downtime and reason codes, the length of time required to repair the machine and the name of the service provider.
"One of the most attractive features of MDC is that it is specifically designed and built for CNC machines," said the spokesperson.
MDC is a Predator Software product available from Shop Floor Automations, a reseller and supplier of Predator products.
