Machine Tending
Repeatable robotic loading and unloading for CNC, press, moulding and inspection machines.
Roadmap — under development
Machine Tending
Package machine-tending workflows that connect robotics directly to device-level OEE. Machine-door control, clamp validation, part-presence verification and robot–machine handshakes — with cycle monitoring and utilisation built in.
What the product does
Load & unload
CNC loading/unloading, press and injection-moulding tending, furnace loading.
Machine handshake
Robot–machine handshake, door and chuck/clamp validation.
Part verification
Part-presence and orientation checks; tray and rack detection.
Safety-state validation
Confirm safe states before every load; failure recovery.
Cycle monitoring
Machine and robot cycle time, waiting time, load/unload duration.
Utilisation
Production count and machine utilisation surfaced in OEE.
Workflow
Integration
- Robot & PLC handshakes
- Machine door / clamp I/O
- Tray & rack detection
- PacketDCS OEE
Into OEE
See exactly where time is lost: machine waiting for robot, robot waiting for machine, door-open time, failed picks and changeover — all inside OEE.
Evaluate Machine Tending
A structured, paid proof of concept on your own line, with quantified results.
