Seco partners with MachineMetrics for manufacturing analytics

Seco Tools is expanding its customer service capabilities through a partnership with MachineMetrics, a supplier of manufacturing analytics systems.

“Partnering with MachineMetrics will allow us to not only continue to help our customers learn about themselves but will transform our ability to help them improve their machine tool utilization and production capacity,” said Ben Alexander, business manager online services at Seco.

Seco plans to use the MachineMetrics industrial internet of things (IIoT) platform and its manufacturing analytics applications as a cornerstone in its expansion into new technology services. With the data provided, Seco can help its customers make data-driven decisions to improve their efficiency and bottom line.

Seco’s customers will be able to gain visibility into their production using a do-it-yourself, customizable manufacturing machine monitoring system. With this cloud-based platform, manufacturers can collect, monitor, and analyze data from all types of machines, from anywhere, with any Internet-connected device to track OEE performance, identify production bottlenecks, take action with real-time notifications, predict and prevent downtime events, measure process improvements, and enhance shop floor communications.
