Integrated Machine Analytics (IMA)™ mobile app

Mitsubishi Electric Automation, Inc. announces the release of the Integrated Machine Analytics (IMA)™ mobile app, which allows users to monitor their CNC machines through MTConnect®, an open standard that allows universal connectivity. The app is designed for Mitsubishi Electric machines, but will work for any MTConnect® compliant CNC.

The IMA™ mobile app offers real-time monitoring and analysis of CNC functions, and will notify the user when changes or anomalies are detected. If users have multiple CNC machines in their facility with an MTConnect® compliant adapter, they can all be monitored through the app simultaneously. This allows users to ensure projects are staying on schedule and eliminate potential issues before they become significant.

“The IMA™ mobile app is a way for manufacturers to take their first steps towards full Industrial Internet of Things integration,” said Justin Kueker, business development manager at Mitsubishi Electric Automation, Inc. “They can enable push notifications to keep tabs on their machines at all times, especially for significant events like machine warnings or alarms.”

End users such as business owners, engineering or maintenance managers, and facility or operations supervisors can use the app for machine monitoring purposes to improve their overall equipment effectiveness. Machine tool dealers may also use the app as another value-added offering for their customers and separate themselves from competing vendors.
