I am trying to determine the machine run time (10 CNC machines total).
We manufacture tool joints (drill pipes).
Currently a main server downloads programmes to each machine, corresponding ot the part to make. Each part takes approximately 10 to 15 minutes. Each time has a start cycle button that the operator must press before the cycle starts.
What i am trying to do is to get each machine to send a signal to the server (time of the day, status of the alarm) each time the operator push the start cycle button. From there, I can calculate the run time/ planned and unplanned downtimes.
Anybody has an idea of who can help me do this? There's got be some companies out there specialized in this kind of stuff...
