Direct machine interface, often referred to as DMI, allows you to connect directly to all types of production equipment and allows you to view real-time information and historical analysis from anywhere, anytime, using just the web browser on any device.
Why DMI is a Game-Changer For You
Collecting data manually can take a lot of time. By the time you collect the data, it can often be inaccurate and old, leading you to make decisions off the wrong data. But through direct machine interface, your production is completely recorded and monitored in real-time for all your connected machines. For example, if you’re monitoring the progress of orders and machine speed, you can view it in real-time allowing planners to track production live, while providing you with better insights for your business.
