Machining Workshop Digital Management System

Machining Workshop Digital Overall Solution

Focused on equipment networking, production execution, and operational improvements in the machining workshop, establishing an integrated digital foundation covering on-site data collection, business analysis, and team collaboration, making production status visible, processes controllable, exceptions traceable, and improvements measurable.

Core Value of the System

A unified link from on-site data to business decision-making

The system integrates equipment status, production tasks, program versions, personnel hours, and exception handling into a unified data model, establishing a connection between on-site facts and management actions, avoiding data isolation, responsibility gaps, and improvement without basis.

From Equipment Signals to Production Facts

Identify statuses like startup, operation, debugging, alarm, and shutdown, combined with program numbers, output, spindle, and feed data, to restore the real machining process of the equipment.

From Exception Records to Responsibility Closure

Assign alarms, Andon signals, maintenance, servicing, and quality exceptions to specific positions, recording response, handling, confirmation, and closure, instead of staying at the reminder level.

From Statistical Reports to Continuous Improvement

Analyze downtime, cycle time, work hours, and OEE by equipment, station, shift, product, and time slices, identify sources of loss, and verify improvement results.

From the Shop Floor to Management

Make every piece of data return to the production floor

Digital construction isn't about adding another display screen, but connecting equipment, personnel, and management actions into a verifiable workflow.

On-site CNC equipment and status collection in the machining workshop
On-site Data Foundation

Establish production facts from equipment status

Connect CNC, robots, PLCs, and inspection equipment, uniformly collecting operation, alarm, output, program, and key parameters, forming on-site data traceable by equipment, station, and shift.

  • Status Recognition and Unified Equipment Identity
  • Linking machining processes, alarm causes, and output
Digital workshop management cockpit and multi-role collaboration
Management Coordination Hub

Driving position collaboration through data analysis

Convert equipment exceptions, production progress, work hour deviations, and efficiency indicators into tasks for positions; managers see trends, team leaders see progress, equipment operators handle exceptions, and operators execute tasks according to plans.

  • Dashboards, Web, and Mobile displayed by role
  • Trace exceptions from response, handling, confirmation to results
Scope and Delivery

Implementation and Delivery

Projects are based on the customer's equipment list and on-site interface conditions, not abstractly promising 'full connectivity'; each phase has clear objects, fields, and acceptance results.

Implementation Targets

Mainly CNC equipment in the equipment list, combined with on-site network, NC system model, and interface conditions to determine networking method; if necessary, add spindle current collection, DI signals, or edge collection modules.

Network to Machine · Equipment Identity · Station Relations

Collected Fields

Collect five types of statuses: power on, power off, running, debugging, and alarm, as well as the number of processed parts, fault codes with start and end times, current program number, spindle speed and spindle-speed override, and feed rate.

Field mapping · Status determination · Data verification

Delivery results

Create device status overview, slice analysis, alarm records, production statistics, DNC program review and deployment, maintenance reminders, exception handling, and Web/APP access.

MDC + OEE

Device status and efficiency analysis

Draw device slices based on five statuses: power on, running, debugging, alarm, and power off; click on abnormal periods to view duration, work mode, and alarm records.

  • Filter processed parts by device, station, or time
  • Calculate utilization rate, downtime reasons, and OEE
DNC

Program review and deployment to specified devices

Associate programs with product names, drawing numbers, and devices; programs that are not reviewed can't be issued; once approved, they can be uploaded remotely to specified devices from the Web.

  • Program number, file name, creator, reviewer, and review time
  • Device program upload, preview, archiving, and version tracking
Production Reporting + working hours

Automatic cutting time runs alongside manual Production Reporting

The system collects effective cutting time and summarizes it by team and individual; processes that can't be automatically collected keep manual reporting options for production progress and time-based wage verification.

  • Shift, personnel, equipment, and actual working hours are linked
  • Output, cycle deviations, and progress can be reviewed
Operation & Maintenance + Tools

Maintenance tasks triggered by running time

Use running, debugging, and manual time as timing criteria, and generate maintenance alerts after reaching the cycle; the tool cabinet covers issuance, approval, lifespan, inventory, and recycling.

  • Maintenance confirmation, alarm clearing, and historical records
  • Inventory management for main cabinet, secondary cabinet, and recycling cabinet
Andon + APP

Exception calls and responsible role handling

On-site, device, material, production, personnel, or quality issues are reported through status boxes. The system pushes notifications to responsible positions according to rules, and processing is done via the APP.

  • Exception types, notification positions, and escalation rules configuration
  • Order receipt, processing, confirmation, and statistical reports
Ledger + Kanban

Establish maintainable equipment master data

Maintain factories, workshops, workstations, equipment types, personnel, and shifts; equipment ledgers can be imported, and the system generates a unique QR code for each piece of equipment for quick on-site location.

  • Equipment location, number, type, and responsible personnel
  • Display on TV screens, floating screens, web, and mobile
Expected changes

From 'people finding data' to 'data driving management'

The actual effect is verified according to the equipment list, statistical cycle, and on-site baseline; what the system brings first is a sustainable, reviewable, and replicable management mechanism.

Visible

Equipment status and production progress are displayed in a unified way

Controllable

Programs, maintenance, tools, and exceptions follow rules

Traceable

Processes, responsibilities, handling, and results are traceable

Replicable

Models, permissions, and workflows can extend to more production lines
