| CIMCO MDC-Max highlights manufacturing problem within 24 hours of installation |
|
| A CIMCO Machine Data Collection (MDC) system was recently installed at a customer site that had tooling cost issues. The Production director had only recently taken over the management of the shop floor and felt that the tooling costs were too high. CIMCO MDC-Max was installed and completed before the night shift arrived. The next morning the production director checked the monitoring data collected from the machines and immediately had his answer. |

| CIMCO MDC-Max tracks reasons for machine down time |
|
| A large Aerospace contractor were concerned that their production was not keeping up with demand and had made the decision to buy several additional machines. They were suggested to check the runtime clocks on the machines for a week to see how much production time was being achieved. They were astonished to find that their machine utilization was below 50% but could not get an accurate picture of why this was happening. |

| CIMCO MDC keeps lights-out machining on track |
|
| A North West company approached the Advanced Machining Centre in Nelson to find them a solution to their lightsout machining problems. They had 4 automatic bar fed lathes that ran through the night but occasionally one would stop and no-one was there to fix the problem and restart production. |
