January 21, 2014 - SYSCON International released MT Focus Reports, a reporting function for its MT Focus machine tool monitoring system. MT Focus Reports takes real-time machine data and places it in a database on the MT Focus Data Collection Hub. Microsoft Excel translates the data into four reports that can be viewed, printed or stored. No integration support or third-party tools are needed.
MT Focus Reports includes: a) Weekly Machine Performance: Utilization data for a machine over a one-week time frame b) Part History: A job list with detailed data for a specific part over a user-specified time frame c) Operator History: A job list with detailed data for a specific machine operator over a user-specified time frame d) Individual Job: Detailed data for a given job MT Focus Reports places four pre-engineered reports at the User’s fingertips. Additionally, each report has two sheets (tabs). The first sheet is the report itself. The second sheet contains a complete set of the MT Focus data pulled from the machine. , Using available Microsoft Excel tools, any of these values can be moved to the cells on sheet one and incorporated into the User’s customized report.
Database or programming skills are not required. Users can also pull in data from other databases to optimize the valve of their reports. For example, tool vending data can be added to show and correlate tooling usage on a job.
