Bidirectional integration as a success factor
The SAP system manages all the data necessary for working on the machine. Subsequently, at the push of a button this data is sent to the machine control.
Bidirectional integration enables the provision of tool and NC data, and the read-out of tool service life and machine status.
Transferring the optimized data from the machine back to the SAP system preserves manufacturing knowledge, and continuously improves the processes.
