HEIDENHAIN, Schaumburg, Illinois, introduced version 1.4.0 of its StateMonitor software platform, enabling remote monitoring and data evaluation during real-time manufacturing. The StateMonitor was first introduced in 2019 and has since become an important option with HEIDENHAIN TNC controls to digitally connect and evaluate machine tool data on company networks as part of the industry 4.0 initiative to boost efficiencies.

The new StateMonitor V1.4.0 offers more benefits, including the ability to monitor tools within a connected machine and the ability to collect current tool usage data; thus, avoiding premature tool replacement. HEIDENHAIN also added the ability to view monitored signals on the Machine Status page, as well as String Signal data. For more information, visit www.heidenhain.us.
