Absolute Machine Tools can help you leverage the power of the Industrial Internet of Things to access and compile a comprehensive range of real-time process feedback information from the controls of multiple CNC machine tools with the FANUC Intelligent Edge Link and Drive (FIELD) system.
Imagine being able to at a glance assess all the most relevant, valuable data you need for ALL of your machine tools in one place — from your smart phone, computer or tablet.

The FANUC Intelligent Edge Link and Drive (FIELD) system is an open platform that can collect data from any device to drive analysis and inform decisions essential to the operation of the Smart Factory.
Custom App Platform benefits include:
- Access data from any device
- Increase productivity
- Improve process quality
- Optimize maintenance resources and equipment
- Initiate and manage “lights out” production
