MachiningCloud embodies Industry 4.0 principles

Cleveland, Ohio – MachiningCloud GmbH, an Industry 4.0 solution provider helping customers make better tooling decisions, announces the availability of the latest cutting tool product data from the world's leading suppliers available for desktop and mobile devices.

MachiningCloud delivers cutting tool manufacturers' product knowledge and data directly to desktops, streamlining cutting tool selection, CNC programming, simulation and shop floor operations. The solution eliminates the hassles of manually searching through printed catalogs, telephone calls and multiple websites trying to find optimal tooling, while also removing the burden of manually typing tooling data into CAD/CAM software.

"Bridging the gap between physical cutting tools and digital software, MachiningCloud embodies the latest Industry 4.0 principles and produces significant productivity gains for its customers", says Chuck Mathews, cloud evangelist and managing director for MachiningCloud.

• Interoperability: search, select and share cutting tools for jobs; build assemblies and export the tooling data to CAD/CAM, ERP and other shop software.
• Virtualization: cutting tool product data that includes 2D drawings and 3D models of both items and assemblies, complete descriptive data for CAD/CAM, and cutting speeds and feeds for CNC machines.
• Decentralization: the manufacturers' product knowledge is on the cloud, taking the guesswork out of the decision-making. CAD/CAM programmers still make the ultimate decision, but the manufacturers' recommendations are immediately available to them.
• Real-time capability: the cutting tool product data is always up-to-date because it is stored on the cloud and availabe to everyone, including global and local stock availability, resulting in optimal tooling choices.
• Service orientation: simple installation and low cost operation with all hosting services, databases, servers and catalogs provided as a cloud service. Download the app and immediately access the benefits of MachiningCloud.
• Modularity: flexible enough to fit into workflows for engineering, purchasing and operations with workgroups on the cloud, or download product data for items or entire catalogs for use in local software.
