Collect, Analyse, Control
We’ve combined 3 powerful software modules into a single Smart Machine solution to create a strong foundation for your digitally connected shopfloor.
Connect each CNC machine to automate data collection, control NC program transfer and unlock powerful insights to drive productivity.
Connect machines
Connect each machine to collect and visualise utilisation performance data, and transfer programs
Share Information
Deliver all production data and documentation paperlessly to the operator on the shopfloor
Drive Productivity
Use live and historical data to make informed decisions and tackle productivity losses.
A connected shopfloor
Over the last 30+ years Seiki has developed a deep vertical manufacturing knowledge and technical expertise in NC program transfer and machine data acquisition. In this time, we’ve connected thousands of machines using industry standard ethernet and serial device hardware. The Smart Machine bundle is a reflection of our experience of working with manufacturing companies of all sizes and across industry sectors to:
- Stop using uncontrolled methods, such as USB, to communicate with machines.
- Ensure only the latest approved programs are used by the people that have permission to transfer them.
- Automatically see when a machine is in production and alert users to critical issues such as machine alarms. And, depending on the data being available, ethernet monitoring can also provide visibility of non-optimal running conditions such as reduced feed or speed rates.
- Adopt a consistent and simple method of capturing the reasons for downtime, supported by notifications and warnings for accurate, timely and complete data.
Machine Monitoring
Real-time Machine Insights: Monitor machine utilisation performance and status in real time, enabling rapid response to issues and reducing downtime.
Automated Alerts: Receive notifications about events that impact productivity instantly.

Paperless manufacturing: Centralise and control the release of production information and manufacturing data. Audit logs support compliance and traceability.
Control: Ensure only the latest, approved file versions are used to avoid costly errors and avoid scrap/rework.
Learn moreOverall Equipment Effectiveness
Improve productivity: measure the productivity improvement potential of a production process using a single metric and to help minimise waste.
Base decisions on facts: small events that may have previously been missed or recorded inaccurately are taken into account when captured in real-time.
