Podcasts about Digital manufacturing

This week we, together with RTS's Doug Holtke, explore how manufacturers can achieve operational excellence by leveraging manufacturing execution systems (MES), real-time visibility, and AI. Doug shares insights on improving quality, efficiency, and decision making on the shop floor, common challenges, and how RTS supports companies with holistic operational strategies.

In July, we discussed our visit to the Hexagon event at Mills CNC, where Hexagon's Nexus platform was shown. The event also alluded to how Pro Plan AI demonstrated 70 to 75% programming productivity improvements. With such impressive statistics and other products on show, we wanted to dig a little deeper into the production intelligence solutions. By Rhys Williams Real-Time Production Intelligence with Datanomics Zoltan Tomoga, Product Manager for Hexagon's Production Software Business Unit, detailed Datanomics' comprehensive approach to production monitoring, emphasising its zero-operator-input design that sets it apart from competing solutions. “Most machine monitoring solutions require the operator to tell the solution why the machine is stuck. The problem is, if you've got a big list of reasons, operators will often select the first one, always a broken tool, as opposed to the coolant or whatever. Whereas Datanomics is completely no operator input.” The system's connectivity architecture enables comprehensive data collection without disrupting workflow. “Each machine has an Ethernet port that will connect to a network, and then you can pull information off of it, as well as push information to it. With our CAM software, we typically push the program through the Ethernet,” Zoltan noted. Datanomics serves three distinct user categories with targeted interfaces designed for specific operational needs. For management, ‘you are mainly interested in OEE. You want to see how much of your shop is utilised.' The primary focus targets shop floor managers who require intelligence: “Every morning at six, we send out the coffee cup report, so when they arrive, the night shift is still there. They can open a report, see what's happened and talk to relevant operators.” The Factory Mate AI enhancement offers instant problem diagnosis capabilities, enabling immediate corrective action. “A shop floor manager just arrived at the factory. There was one machine which didn't perform very well. They hit the factory mate icon, and it will give them the top three downtime events. In this case, we were waiting for an operator. That was the second one as well, and the machine was stuck,” Zoltan demonstrated. For process engineers requiring deeper analysis, Datanomics offers comprehensive historical data capabilities that facilitate continuous improvement initiatives. “In EdgeCAM, if I generate an NC code, I can put what EdgeCAM says is going to be the cycle time. However, if the feed override, or the rapid wasn't set to 100%, it might start to differ. The target for one part was 56 minutes, but we are actually running on 59 minutes recently. However, Datanomics thinks we could run that part in 45 minutes and improve on efficiency,” Zoltan explained, demonstrating how the system identifies specific optimisation opportunities. Tooling insights provide strategic procurement intelligence. “You will see which tool you use the most, and make a decision if you want to adjust speeds and feeds on that tool.” Benchmarking Progress: Quantifying Industry Digital Maturity The benchmarking initiative previously discussed in MTD May Issue with Jason Walker, Hexagon's VP of General Manufacturing, has collected substantial industry data over twelve months, revealing concerning gaps in digital adoption across manufacturing operations. The results confirmed extensive manual processes that create competitive disadvantages. “More than half of manufacturers are still using a manual process, which typically involves whiteboards and Excel spreadsheets and a lot of manual planning,” Walker revealed. Most of the upstream processes for winning work, like quoting and planning, are very much done manually.” Production intelligence gaps create significant profitability challenges for manufacturers who are unable to track actual versus planned performance. “Understanding the utilisation of the machines on the shop floor probably comes all the way back to the quoting process and understanding the profitability of your business, because if you're quoting that a part is going to take two hours to machine, and you have no traceability to see who did that part or whether that batch of 1000 parts did actually take two hours each. Or did they run at two hours and five minutes, which makes a large difference over the batch,” Walker explained. The competitive implications of slow processes are significant for business sustainability. “Ultimately, many of these companies, when they are winning the work, it's because they've under-quoted on a job which further erodes their profitability,” Walker observed. External pressures are accelerating transformation requirements. “Lockheed Martin has a model-based enterprise playbook for suppliers. Lockheed are actively saying to their supply chain, if you aren't going to adopt these new technologies that are going to allow you to manage the digital thread through the digital models that we're going to provide you with, then ultimately, you will be losing out on work in the future,” Walker shared, demonstrating how OEMs are making digital transformation mandatory. Quantifying Digital Transformation Benefits The event demonstrated how digital manufacturing solutions deliver measurable business improvements across multiple operational areas that justify investment through concrete returns. The integration of solutions presented in Part One—Nexus connectivity, Pro Plan AI programming acceleration, and Paperless Parts quoting automation—creates compounded benefits when combined with real-time production intelligence from Datanomics. Pro Plan AI's 70 to 75% reduction in programming time enables manufacturers to complete days of work in mere minutes while capturing institutional knowledge from experienced programmers. This capability, combined with Mills CNC's DNX 2100 launch aimed at reducing setup time, exemplifies an industry-wide shift towards efficiency optimisation. Paperless Parts transforms quote-to-cash cycles from week-long manual processes into 24 to 48 hour automated workflows, enabling customers to secure 25% more business through quicker response times. The platform removes resource constraints by alleviating quoting burdens from owners and managers. Datanomics provides real-time production intelligence without requiring operator input. This enables shop floor managers to identify and resolve issues through immediate problem diagnosis and historical trend analysis. The system's ability to compare target and actual cycle times reveals optimisation opportunities, such as identifying potential efficiency improvements. The benchmarking data reveals that over half of manufacturers still rely on manual processes for critical business functions. Looking Forward: Measuring Manufacturing's Digital Future The convergence of AI-driven programming, automated quoting systems, and real-time production intelligence generates combined benefits that surpass the capabilities of individual solutions. Manufacturers adopting comprehensive digital workflows can realise simultaneous enhancements in quote win rates, programming productivity, and production efficiency while tackling workforce challenges through knowledge capture and skills augmentation. Hexagon's platform approach allows manufacturers to implement digital transformation incrementally, measuring benefits at each stage while working towards comprehensive integration. The partnership with Mills CNC illustrates how technology providers and equipment manufacturers can collaborate to achieve measurable business outcomes that justify digital investment through quantifiable improvements in productivity and profitability. Concrete business metrics will measure success in this digital transformation: quicker quote turnaround, higher win rates, reduced programming time, improved production efficiency, and enhanced workforce productivity. Manufacturers achieving these measurable improvements—through solutions like those demonstrated at the Mills CNC Technology Campus—will define the competitive landscape for the next decade of industrial production. Meanwhile, those failing to adapt risk losing business to more digitally capable competitors as customer requirements continue to evolve towards integrated digita

 The future of manufacturing is increasingly digital, collaborative, and intelligent. This was the clear message at Hexagon's recent ‘The Future of Shop Floor' event, held in partnership with Mills CNC at their Technology Campus. The event demonstrated how artificial intelligence, cloud-based platforms, and data-driven insights transform traditional manufacturing operations, resulting in measurable improvements in productivity and profitability. Opening the event by introducing Nexus, the company's cloud-based platform designed to tackle the collaboration crisis in manufacturing, Jason Walker, Hexagon's VP of General Manufacturing, stated: “An independent Forrester report we commissioned, surveyed around 500 manufacturers from small, medium, and large-sized organisations worldwide and 97% across all those different kinds of organisations, agreed that collaboration is the key challenge that manufacturers face.” Nexus addresses this challenge through comprehensive connectivity. “Nexus is fundamentally about connectivity. It's about joining all these different tools together within a specific function, across different functions, departments, sites, and organisations,” Walker explained. “Nexus connects to third-party tools as well, even if they are competitors of Hexagon, it builds workflows to encourage collaboration between engineers.” The platform's design philosophy emphasises integration rather than disruption. “Nexus is designed to meet you where you are. If you've got a process, a tool, or a particular place where you store your data today, Nexus won't disrupt any of that. Just join the dots to encourage and enable collaborations,” Walker emphasised. The Pro Plan Revolution Stephen Graham, Executive Vice President and General Manager for Nexus at Hexagon, revealed Pro Plan AI's impressive performance metrics during its pilot phase. For readers unfamiliar with Hexagon's Pro Plan AI suite, see the January 2025 issue of MTD magazine. “We've got ten customers engaged in a formal piloting programme at the moment, and the feedback has been stunning,” Graham announced. “Even at this early Beta Test stage, we can demonstrate something like a 70 to 75% improvement in productivity. A task that may have taken a couple of days could take just a few minutes using this powerful tool.” Pro Plan AI's approach differs fundamentally from that of existing automation tools. “There are tools out there attempting to automate CAM programming, but they're either trying to identify features in a CAD model using a rules-based system, or we've seen people trying to use generative AI,” Graham explained. “Our machine learning approach is looking through the history of programs, figuring out how you program, and replicating that based on the new geometry.” The tool's knowledge capture capabilities will address critical workforce challenges. “Pro Plan AI captures tribal knowledge. When it's first installed, it learns how users program CNC machines. It will program in the style of what it sees in the organisation's history,” Graham noted. Discussing one of the early test customers, Graham adds: “This feature proved particularly valuable in a North American pilot. The company has a relatively new programmer in his early 20s who joined the company two or three months ago. Once he started working with Pro Plan AI, he suddenly contributed programmes directly to the shop floor that were on par with anything from any of the guys who have been there programming for 20 or 30 years. This not only speeds up programming times, but also demonstrates how it is closing the ‘skills gap'.” Pro Plan AI also enables new business capabilities. “You can programme a machine in a few seconds, then for a given part, you can programme every single machine on the shop floor. You can program every machine on the shop floor for every combination of tools; you can then use that to interact with your production planning systems. You can also use it to create much more accurate quotations before starting a job in the first place,” Graham explained. The improvement in quoting accuracy addresses a fundamental business challenge. “One of the big ones we heard from customers is regarding quoting. Quite a lot of guesswork goes into quoting, because nobody's got the time to do the proper engineering work to find out how long it takes. With Pro Plan AI, even if it's not 100% accurate, you get a pretty good idea of how long it will be on a particular machine,” Graham revealed. Transforming Quote-to-Cash Processes Hexagon recognises that efficient and accurate quoting is essential for business success—and this is one reason why ‘Paperless Parts' has been added to the portfolio. A strategic partnership that delivers measurable business transformation for manufacturers, Jason Walker provided an extensive analysis: “Paperless Parts is Boston-based, and they are primarily in the US for now, although we are just in the process of helping them expand internationally.” The platform addresses critical inefficiencies in manufacturing's front-end processes through comprehensive automation of the quoting workflow. The quoting challenge directly impacts manufacturers' competitiveness. “I have asked a couple of customers exactly how long it took to get a quote out of the door before you implemented Paperless Parts. And on average, they would say about a week. So, you get an RFQ on Monday, you might only get to it by the end of the week,” Walker detailed. “The problem is that another manufacturer is getting their quote back quicker. They're probably going to win the work, because most of the OEMs just want to fulfil their order.” Paperless Parts delivers dramatic improvements in turnaround times that directly impact business outcomes. “With Paperless Parts, most manufacturers are doing turnaround within 24, sometimes 48 hours. So that's the difference,” Walker noted. The business impact extends far beyond speed enhancements: “One customer that is already reducing quote time from a week to 24 hours claims to be already winning 25% more work.” The platform's functionality includes comprehensive quote management capabilities that eliminate traditional bottlenecks. “It's an interesting space because it focuses solely on quoting, but the platform also allows for internal collaboration at a large company, which you might need when compiling a quote. You might need the engineer's input on ‘Can we manufacture this?' So the platform itself enables that real-time collaboration,” Walker explained. This collaborative approach ensures that technical feasibility is assessed during the quoting process rather than after the work is won. Automation features remove the burdens of manual data entry that have traditionally hindered quote generation. “It configures everything for you and automates the quoting setup process; it syncs back with your ERP system. Many customers will be using Excel spreadsheets or their ERP, but mostly the ERP's quoting functionality is like an Excel spreadsheet. You still have to put everything in manually. So that's where Paperless Parts is automating much of that,” Walker detailed. The integration capabilities extend throughout the manufacturing workflow. “Engineers have all that information, from the design to the integrations with our CAM software and then into Paperless Parts,” Walker explained. This smooth data flow eliminates multiple manual handoffs that traditionally delay quote generation and introduce errors. “Not only is it allowing businesses to get quotes out quicker, but it's reducing the burden. A lot of the time, it's the owner or the manager who's doing the quotes, because it's such a crucial process. You don't want to be under-quoting. This is buying them their time back,” Walker observed. This liberation of time enables leadership to focus on strategic business development rather than administrative tasks. The European expansion is proceeding with pilot customers demonstrating similar transformative results. “We've been in partnership since the beginning of last year, but we focused primarily on the US last year. There will be a European launch later in the year. At the moment, we're finding a few pilot customers,” Walker confirmed. “Early European feedback mirrors US success, it's completely transformative to the way that they were doing things before.” Innovation and Strategic Partnership Tony Dale, CEO of Mills CNC, offered insights into the strategic partnership with Hexagon as well as the company's forthcoming product innovations. Tony Dale says: “Our strengths are that we are an independently owned business, which makes us agile and allows us to respond to customers' requests.” The company's inventory management reflects its customer-focused approach. “We've got about 80 machines here now, but we've normally got around 200 machines in stock. So, the availability of machines is key for customers these days; nobody wants to wait. So that agility and stock holding enables us to support customers when they need that technology for that new contract,” Dale explained. “The relationship with Hexagon is effective. It enables us to provide a solution to the end user, not only supplying the machine tool but also programming it, reverse engineering it, and inspecting components, all of which contribute to our automation for end-to-end production,” Dale explained. Looking ahead, Mills has significant product launches planned. “Key focuses for us this year are launching two brand new models. We'll be holding an event later in October. We've got the DNX 2100 entry-level multi-tasking machine, and it's quite a big launch for us because we're seeing how customers want to leave tools set up on the machines to reduce setup and changeover times,” Dale announced. The DNX 2100 addresses specific market evolution. “If you can quickly change your jaws and programme, with your tools already set up in that carousel, this is faster than traditional block tools on a turret. We already do 5-axis mill/turn machines, but this is more entry level for customers upgrading from a traditional turret lathe to get into the realms of multitasking,” Dale explained. Dale linked the new machine to broader industry trends that Hexagon is also tackling: “With the skill shortages of engineers these days, we're finding that this is a growing part of our business offering.” The second major launch involves an evolution of existing technology. “We also have the second generation of the DVF 5000, which will launch simultaneously. It is a high-speed, high-accuracy 5-axis machine,” Dale noted. We will publish the second instalment of this event in the September issue of MTD Magazine. It will highlight the new Datanomics production monitoring suite and provide an update on the success of Hexagon's Benchmarking tool, a year after we first discussed the tool at MACH 2024.

At CDMO Live 2025, a panel sponsored by Aizon explored how pharma companies are transforming external manufacturing operations through digital integration, with experts from sharing practical approaches to implementation.The Digital Divide: Big Pharma vs Mid-Size PlayersThe panellists painted a stark contrast in digital maturity across the pharmaceutical manufacturing landscape. Dave O'Gara, pharmaceutical business consultant at Aizon with over 30 years experience at Novartis, outlined the current state of play."When you move into pharma and segregate into big pharma, they have digital strategies... When you move into the mid-range CDMOs and smaller CMOs, it's not so active," O'Gara explained, highlighting what he termed a "massive opportunity" for mid-size players.Franziskus Kath, founder of Kath-Consulting and former VP of Emerging Technology for QA at Johnson & Johnson, confirmed this assessment: "The larger the companies, the more digital is already there... Most of them have been for the past eight to 10 years really tackling the topic."From the CDMO perspective, Vishnu Dwadasi, Director of Life Sciences at West Monroe, described significant implementation challenges: "A lot of these companies are still very manual, so they have to move from paper to digital and then digital to eventually leveraging analytics and AI."Download the full report

Augmented reveals the stories behind the new era of industrial operations, where technology will restore the agility of frontline workers. The topic is: Digital Manufacturing in the Cloud. Our guest is Jon Hirschtick, Head of SaaS, Onshape and Atlas Platform, PTC.In this conversation, we talk about the story of SolidWorks, using agile methods, listening to the market, charting the evolution of CAD into SaaS, and its emerging and future iterations in the open source cloud and beyond After listening to this episode, check out PTC, Solidworks, as well as Jon Hirschtick's social media profiles:PTC (@ptc): https://www.ptc.com/enSolidworks (@solidworks): https://www.solidworks.com/ Jon Hirschtick (@jhirschtick): https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonhirschtick/Trond's takeaway: Digital manufacturing is moving to the cloud and that means a whole lot more than office software moving to the cloud. In fact, establishing a real-time digital thread, through next generation low-code and no-code systems, will reshape industry. The notion of factory production, distributed teams, product development, will all evolve significantly, and will enable personalization across industry and across any and eventually all of manufactured goods. The ramifications will be huge, but they won't automatically happen tomorrow, and the benefits will spread unevenly depending on who--be it corporations, nations, startups, or small- and medium enterprises--grabs the gauntlet first.Thanks for listening.
