MDC - Machine Data Collection
		M T C / M T M  MDC/MTM (Manufacturing Data Collection/Machine Tool Monitoring) is a network based system that monitors the status (e.g. the start and stop of cycle, etc.) of machines and automatically records changes in their status. And it allows operators to enter the actual order number, part number and downtime reasons. The premise of the system's design is that changes in machine status should be collected automatically by a central PC - and that user intervention should be limited to an absolute minimum. In addition to the status change, new production orders can be entered via barcode reader or handheld terminals. In case that the customer already uses a Quinx DNC system, the same adapter (SCD) is used to gather digital signals and connect a terminal or barcode reader for data entry. DNC and MDC server can share the same computer or can be installed on different PCs. The MDC/MM server software updates automatically all client PCs with any change in status. In a second step you can collect the production time and downtimes, e.g. by part# or order#, what makes MDC/MM to a perfect production data collection system (PDC). All these data can be enterd by the operator on the machine, using a barcode reader or a handheld terminal.

The system allows you to recognize bottlenecks and malfunctions quickly so that you can take remedial actions immediately. Using MDC/MTM, all authorized users can do the following work:
