IMTS - C-Labs Introduces Machine Monitor to Manufacturers
Simplified IoT solution gives smaller manufacturers live information from new and legacy machines
BELLEVUE, Wash., Sept. 15, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- C-Labs Corporation, an award-winning provider of software for the industrial Internet of Things (IoT), today announced the availability of Machine Monitor, a new product to provide operational awareness to machine operators, plant managers, and business leaders in manufacturing organizations.
According to a PwC survey, 65% of US manufacturers are not yet collecting or using IoT data to enhance their manufacturing operations, despite availability of the technology. In C-Labs' experience, this is especially true among smaller firms lacking IoT expertise and wanting "out-of-the-box" solutions that are safe, secure, and simple to set-up and use.
For smaller manufacturers and machine shops, C-Labs Machine Monitor simplifies the creation of industrial grade IoT solutions without side-stepping security. Machine Monitor is based on the award-winning Factory-Relay product available to larger companies.
"Smaller manufacturers told us they wanted the benefits that larger industrial companies were getting from remote and mobile access to live data, especially with older machines," said Chris Muench, CEO of C-Labs. "Machine Monitor provides visibility to machine state information from anywhere, anytime, on any device, facilitating efficient operations while protecting industrial equipment from cyberattacks."
C-Labs is demonstrating Machine Monitor at the OPC Conference on September 15, 2016 in conjunction with the Industrial Manufacturing Technology Show in Chicago. Factory-Relay is also on display throughout IMTS in the OPC Foundation booth, E-4147.

Featured Product
T.J. Davies' Retention Knobs
Our retention knobs are manufactured above international standards or to machine builder specifications. Retention knobs are manufactured utilizing AMS-6274/AISI-8620 alloy steel drawn in the United States. Threads are single-pointed on our lathes while manufacturing all other retention knob features to ensure high concentricity. Our process ensures that our threads are balanced (lead in/lead out at 180 degrees.) Each retention knob is carburized (hardened) to 58-62HRC, and case depth is .020-.030. Core hardness 40HRC. Each retention knob is coated utilizing a hot black oxide coating to military specifications. Our retention knobs are 100% covered in black oxide to prevent rust. All retention knob surfaces (not just mating surfaces) have a precision finish of 32 RMA micro or better: ISO grade 6N. Each retention knob is magnetic particle tested and tested at 2.5 times the pulling force of the drawbar. Certifications are maintained for each step in the manufacturing process for traceability.
