The platform is built on an open API structure, and the Forcam Force Bridge connects shop floor analytics with any third-party ERP, MES, TDM, QMS, CMMS or PLM system. The platform enables users to monitor work practices, and machine operators can receive real-time feedback to enable them to act on data.
According to the company, the platform operates as a referee of sorts, tying a shop’s data network into an easily understood framework. It can deliver purchasing and operations data to accounting, supply chain information to logistics and provide the C-suite with real-time production data. At the same time, it can deliver temperature, vibration and speed data to members of a shop’s operational team. The predictive analytics provided by the platform enable users to take whatever steps the data call for.
