Thoroughly and completely, on-site principle. Completely from the user's perspective. That's why it's "usable." Futaba Electric Industry's machine tool IoT monitoring system.
Feature 1: Three installation methods for compatibility with various machines The key to IoT implementation in factories is to "collect," "store," and "utilize" machine operation data. If there is bias in the data collected in the first step of "collection," it is impossible to derive accurate insights. Futaba Electronics has achieved visibility into the operation of various machine tools through three types of sensing: CNC connection, stacked indicator lights, and current sensing. Feature 2: User-friendly and easy-to-read interface After thorough discussions with our processing department personnel, we retained only the truly necessary menus required on-site for the display screen. There are no complex operations or cumbersome settings. With simple operations, the information is presented in an easily understandable list format. This is what makes for a user-friendly interface in the field. Feature 3: Stable communication created by a radio manufacturer Leveraging the radio technology developed as "FUTABA of remote control," we have achieved stable communication. Our internal tests revealed that there are many obstacles within the factory, and various factors can hinder communication. We conducted thorough testing in real-world conditions, adopting the 920MHz band, which has good reflection and diffraction characteristics, along with diversity functionality to ensure stable communication.

Detailed information
-
■Operation Status Overview Displays the latest information for all machines connected to the operation monitoring unit in a consolidated view. By pre-grouping the connected machines by factory or process, it is possible to display information for only the groups of factories or processes you want to see.
-
■Operating Status Time Series The operating status of each machine can be displayed in one-minute intervals, allowing for detailed operational analysis. It is possible to display one month’s data at once, and past operating statuses can be viewed for up to three months.
-
■Operating Level Displays the operating level of the machine in four stages. With a simple display, it is possible to grasp the operating rate of each machine at a glance. By clicking on the machine name, you can transition to detailed screens for target time management, operating status over time, operating rates, etc. The display period can be selected from day, week, month, quarter, half-year, or year.
-
■Operating Rate Displays the operating rates of factories and processes at the group level. It is possible to check the operating rates of each factory at a glance. The display period can be selected from day, week, month, quarter, half-year, or year.
-
■Target Time Management By setting a daily operating target time for each machine, it is possible to display the transition of operating hours against the target. By grouping the display targets by factory or process, the group's operating targets and operating hours can be shown. The display units can be selected from hours, days, months, 10 years (monthly), 10 years (quarterly), and 10 years (annually).
-
■Operating Rate Transition Displays the transition of operation, stoppage, alarms, and power off. It is possible to monitor the status over a long term. The display units can be selected from hours, days, months, 10 years (months), 10 years (quarters), and 10 years (years).
