High-mix, low-volume production is big trend for manufacturers supplying Just-In-Time (JIT) customers. Due to this, there is a great deal of pressure to make the production process, even under high-mix, low-volume demands, as efficient as possible. Tim Jones, HMC product manager at Makino, discusses...

Thanks to the advent of real-time production software and hardware, getting the most out of a shop floor environment is just a click away. When multiple machines are connected on a single network, manufacturers can use data-monitoring software to store and analyze high volumes of actionable machine...
