Connecting to, and collecting data from, your Okuma is the first step to getting started with Industry 4.0. Enabling machine data collection provides information to monitor machine performance and conditions in real-time.
Although Okuma offers a proprietary machine monitoring solution, there are additional options that offer more data points and offer scalability across other machine and control brands.
With an integrated shop floor, you can build a foundation for data-driven manufacturing, process optimization, and automation.
Enabling connectivity can be achieved with MTConnect if you have one of the following OSP Controls:
With this connectivity method, you will be required to make updates via the THINC App Store. This will enable you to use Okuma’s MTConnect adapter.

If your Okuma does not have one of the above OSP controls, it will have to be integrated using I/O. This will require some additional hardware in addition to an edge device, and will also result in limited data collection.
However, traditional wired inputs and outputs are an important piece of machine connectivity, as they enable data collection from legacy equipment.
Connect Plan is an IoT software solution from Okuma that allows manufacturers to collect data from their machines, offering simple visualizations to pinpoint issues, such as under-utilized equipment
Easily connect to all your equipment, not just Okuma machines.
