Description
Summary:In machine tools, existing solutions for process monitoring and condition monitoring rely on additional sensors or the machine control system as data sources. For a higher level of autonomy, it becomes necessary to combine several data sources, which may be within or outside of the machine. Another requirement for autonomy is additional computing power, which may be hosted on edge devices or in the cloud. A seamless and modular architecture, where sensors are integrated in smart machine components or smart sensors, which are in turn connected to edge devices and cloud platforms, provides a good basis for the incremental realisation of autonomy in all phases of the machine life cycle.
