trex Machine Data Collection


Bridge the Data Gap on Your Shop Floor, Boost Your Competitive Edge

Gain complete digital visibility into your production processes by reliably, scalably, and centrally collecting process data from every machine.

trex Machine Data Collection NGP License is a licensing model that defines how many machines on your shop floor will have their data collected. This flexible structure allows you to define a separate license for each machine you wish to collect data from.

This approach ensures that the performance, energy consumption, operating status, and critical process information of every single machine on your production line are fully recorded and can be centrally analyzed on a single platform. The data you obtain provides complete transparency and control over your manufacturing operations.

Key Features and Advantages

1. Machine-Based Data Collection

At the core of the license is the principle of treating each machine as an independent data source. This allows critical process data—such as temperature, pressure, vibration, part counts, run/downtime status, and rotation speed—to be collected individually and structured within a central database. This detailed data collection provides insights into each machine's individual performance, going beyond general line efficiency.


2. Flexible and Scalable Licensing

The trex Machine Data Collection NGP License offers a planning model that scales directly with your production capacity. You can acquire licenses for the exact number of machines you need, and easily add more as new machines are brought online, expanding your data collection capacity seamlessly. This flexible structure not only helps optimize initial investment costs but also allows you to adapt effortlessly to future growth plans.


3. Centralized Analysis and Comprehensive Traceability

Data from all your machines is collected on a single, centralized platform. This allows you to easily compare performance differences between various lines and machines, identify bottlenecks, and uncover hidden efficiency losses. The collected data forms a solid foundation for real-time analysis, historical reporting, and predictive modeling.

4. Comprehensive Integration Capabilities

This license easily integrates with your existing automation systems (PLCs, CNC machines, etc.), analog and digital outputs from sensors, and work orders from business management systems like ERP/MES. The machine-based data collected works seamlessly with the trex Industrial IoT Module License, accelerating your digital transformation journey and providing an end-to-end solution.

Example Use Cases

Packaging Line Optimization: By collecting data on fill time, weight tolerance, and packaging speed from each of the three machines (MNT-01, MNT-02, MNT-03) on a packaging line, the overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) of the line can be calculated, and the bottleneck machine can be clearly identified.

Press Shop Condition Analysis: Run/downtime, die open/close, and force sensor data from five different hydraulic presses are collected separately. The data is analyzed based on the frequency and causes of unplanned downtime, helping to establish proactive maintenance strategies.

Energy Management and Sustainability: The instantaneous and cumulative energy consumption of each machine is recorded. This allows you to pinpoint the highest energy-consuming machines, detect energy waste, and create comparative reports to measure the return on investment for energy efficiency projects.

Value Delivered to the Shop Floor

Complete Visibility: The process parameters of every machine are monitored in real-time, ensuring no data gaps or losses occur in production.

Increased Productivity and Quality: Machine-based measurements help clarify the root causes of downtime and the source of quality deviations, enabling quick and accurate improvement actions.

Data-Driven Decision Making: Since the performance of each machine is tracked individually, critical decisions regarding maintenance, investment, production planning, and shift arrangements are supported by concrete data.

The trex Machine Data Collection NGP License, with its robust licensing structure guaranteeing data collection from every machine on the shop floor, allows you to create a digital twin of your factory and initiate a continuous improvement cycle. Recording and analyzing the process data from each machine directly contributes to the uninterrupted optimization of your production processes and the strengthening of your competitive advantage.
