  • Publication number: 20160349737
    Abstract: A platform and method for optimization of manufacturing efficiency by utilizing a service box to provide data obtained from sensors on production machines in order to perform tool condition monitoring and health assessment and predict power consumption trends. The sensor data is continuously monitored and analyzed. When power usage increases and vibration increases to a predetermined level the tool has become dull or worn to the point that the tool needs to be changed. The service box is coupled to sensors on a production machine. The service box receives appropriate data from the sensors and transfers the data to a cloud server in real-time. When it is determined that the tool needs to be replaced, notification is made and personnel replace the worn tool with a sharp tool.
