Model Demonstrates Operator Interface

Fastems will exhibit a fully-featured scale model of its Multi-Level Flexible Manufacturing System. The model will be controlled by a full-size MMS5 software operator interface. Its capabilities can extend from a single manufacturing cell to a fully integrated shop-wide system. The MMS5 can also be integrated with other manufacturing plant software, such as ERP and MRP systems, and is fully compatible with MT Connect.

Additionally, the company will display the FMS One, an expandable manufacturing system which handles logistics and material management, and is suitable for several machine tool types. Also on display, the FPC-1500 Flexible Pallet Container system can be used to join two machine tools together.
