Advanced Machine Tool Monitoring using Machine Data and Low-Cost Sensors

Digitisation Applied, a Real Industry Case Study: Dawnlough

In this webinar we will explore how, across multiple research partnership projects,  IMR and Dawnlough are deploying low-cost sensors and controller data acquisition solutions, to give unique insights into manufacturing processes. We will also hear how this has improved employee engagement with production monitoring systems and how this is impacting KPI’s including increasing machine efficiency by 24%.
