Sodick Co., Ltd. has launched “SatelinC,” an integrated remote service platform for machine tools.
“SatelinC” is a service platform for machine tools that integrates machine information monitoring, machining information viewing, alarm management, maintenance information management, and remote support, with a dedicated server installed on the machine tool as its core. It allows users to check the machine’s operating status and machining information in real time from a web browser on a PC, tablet, or smartphone, streamlining equipment management and maintenance operations.
Background of Development: To address issues such as the disconnect between equipment monitoring and maintenance support, and security concerns.
In recent years, the manufacturing industry has been accelerating the promotion of digital transformation (DX) to address labor shortages, a lack of skilled workers, and to improve equipment utilization and productivity. However, a challenge has been the disconnect between equipment monitoring and maintenance support, as machine tool status checks and maintenance support have primarily been conducted on-site.
