Setting up Machine Connectivity for Machine Manufacturers

Since 2019, 3YOURMIND has put a focus on building strong partnerships with AM machine manufacturers to connect their data into our Agile MES. Machine Connectivity is a win-win scenario.

Why should you add Machine Connectivity to 3YOURMIND?

Every leading AM service is running machines from multiple vendors. 3YOURMIND is becoming the standard location to schedule manufacturing processes, track progress in real-time and document production for quality assurance.

Preparing files for production and creating build jobs is best done by machine venders or long-time industry stalwarts like Materialise. 3YOURMIND offers the primary value by delivering the data to different machines, different production locations, or different times, especially for repeat production.

What is the Benefit of Data-driven Production Scheduling and Tracking?

3YOURMIND software is configured to schedule and track complex AM workflows. That includes both automatic and manual steps from printing and post-processing, to quality assurance, documentation, and shipping. The Agile MES automatically generate travelers and move part requirements to the right point in production to help guarantee successful AM parts, delivered on time. Those automatically reflect the production decisions and input placed at the point of order in the Agile ERP.

Machine Connectivity is the icing on the cake.

The real-time machine data allows engineers to track production progress, regardless of the technology or physical location. Specific data points will be captured to provide documentation for an audit trail of a successful production. The machine manufacturers that opt to be part of this network will make it easier for their customers to use a smaller subset of software systems and increase production by streamlining processes.
