Machine Tool Monitoring & Data Collection

Progressive MDC (Machine Data Collection) is a licensed feature of Progressive DNC used to monitor CNC machine utilization downtime and OEE. Progressive MDC supports a wide range of connection methods to both modern and legacy CNC controls. When PLCs are needed, Progressive MDC can seamlessly integrate with Kepware OPC servers and Moxa IO hardware. Progressive MDC supports real-time monitoring and is capable of synchronizing with reporting servers running Crystal Reports for historical and data trend analysis.

Currently, BTS offers two CNC machine monitoring solutions: Progressive MDC™ Standard and Progressive MDC LITE™. Both solutions require a prerequisite of Progressive DNC 2021™ and additional licensing
