Today, factories are collecting and processing more data than ever before. But only those with access to the right data, at the right time, can take real advantages of the smart factory.

Renishaw Central is a manufacturing data platform that collects and presents process and metrology data from the shop floor. It connects to measurement devices across the manufacturing process and provides invaluable insights. Manufacturers can use these insights to analyse, identify, predict, and correct process errors before they occur.

The result is a highly efficient and productive factory, with optimised processes, reduced downtime and minimised waste, thereby reducing costs.

The benefits of a connected machine shop
On a connected shop floor, machines and systems communicate with each other by sharing data and trends. Real-time monitoring enables manufacturers to make informed decisions and have complete control of their end-to-end manufacturing.

Renishaw Central can connect to multiple devices (from Renishaw and other suppliers) across multiple factories, enabling you to:

– Collect and store end-to-end process and metrology data.
– Build controlled processes to enable automation and boost throughput.
– Identify, predict, and correct process errors before they happen.
– Enhance decision making for process improvements.
– Increase operational efficiency and reduce human intervention.
