When it comes to tool manufacturing, those that adopt highly productive machining practices will have the competitive edge

By far the most mature and comprehensive aspect of Industry 4.0 for tool manufacturers is the advent of cloud computing, which has already been proven to make remarkable change possible within the wider business community. The cloud promises a whole new world of opportunities for tool manufacturers, making it easier than ever before to:

Reduce manufacturing costs;
Increase productivity;
Eliminate complex workflows;
Predictive and preventive maintenance; and
Monitor machines and production in real time.

For machinists that are attracted by the potential upside, but lack certainty about where to start, ANCA has launched a campaign to help understand what the cloud means and how to maximise the opportunities it makes possible.

Thomson Mathew, ANCA Software Product Manager said, “as a global CNC machine provider, ANCA is first to market with new technology like 3D simulation and multi-robot production, so innovation in tool manufacturing is kind of our thing.”
