Enhancing Manufacturing Efficiency with Wintriss ShopFloorConnect at FABTECH 2024

Jim Finnerty, the Product Manager at Wintriss Controls Group, presented updates on their ShopFloorConnect software at FABTECH 2024, highlighting new flexible and affordable starting packages. These updates include scalable subscription options tailored for manufacturers seeking production tracking, OEE calculations, and real-time machine data collection.

ShopFloorConnect provides three customizable packages:

MERLIC 5.6

MERLIC 5.6 Provides Increased Connectivity
In MERLIC 5.6, some methods that were previously available on a test basis have been transferred to completely new tools. These tools are: “Count with Deep Learning”, “Segment Image Pixel-Precisely", and “Recognize Color”. With “Count with Deep Learning”, also known as Deep Counting, it is possible to count a large number of objects quickly and robustly with little training effort. There are many possible use cases for this feature, like for example completeness checks. “Segment Image Pixel-Precisely" makes it possible to localize trained defect classes with pixel precision.

SG SmartCapture

Shapegrabber Automated 3D Laser Scanning Systems Gains Enhancements
SG SmartCapture software offers a direct PolyWorks Plug-In for streamlined workflow, GD&T measurements and fitting with SmartProfile integration, and STEP file reverse engineering for automatic CAD conversion. Fully supported robotic integration is available for automatic part handling and sorting.

3DViewStation

Efficient Process Optimization Through Seamless Integration of 3D CAD Data
A model-based enterprise (MBE) leverages the benefits of MBD to optimize the entire internal and external supply chain. The 3D CAD model becomes the single source of information for all processes—not only in development and manufacturing but also in change management, production planning, assembly, quality assurance, technical documentation, spare parts management, and even customer and supplier communication.
