MacMan-Net 2010 Integration

MacMan-Net 2010 simplifies integration with existing business infrastructure. If your business has an existing ERP, MES, SCADA, or inventory tracking system, DataZen can analyze your requirements to determine how best to integrate with these systems.

How it Works

The MacMan-Net service collects data from all of the machines configured within it, storing the data in a SQL database. Once the data is accumulated in the database, it can then be fed into other systems from a single centralized source, rather than on a per-machine basis.

DataZen has several options for integration. Because the data is stored in a SQL database, any required data items can easily be exported into XML or other file formats. Many systems accept file-based input, so DataZen can analyze your needs to export the data that you need in a format that your existing infrastructure can read.

Another possibility for integration is direct database connection. DataZen can configure direct transfers from one database to another. Our team has experience with a wide range of database technologies, including SQL Server, OracleDB, MySQL, and others.

What Data can be Provided

All of the data collected by MacMan-Net are stored in a SQL database. Depending on your needs, any of this data can be exported, either as it comes in or on a regular schedule. Examples of data items stored by MacMan-Net are:
  • Currently running part program (program name and filename)
  • NC Status
  • Alarm status, number, and description
  • Cumulative operating, cutting, and non-operating times
  • Cumulative operating and cutting times per part program
  • Total part counts, for each running part program
  • Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE), if configured
These data items, and others, can readily be configured for output so that your existing software infrastructure can receive the data. This allows data from the machines to be fed directly into inventory management or other systems without user intervention.
