Customer-oriented digitalization strategy

The topic “Industry 4.0” is dominating the discussion of the future like no other, even in the sector of machine tool construction. As the leading manufacturer of metal removing machine tools worldwide, DMG MORI supports its customers on their way to digital transformation with the app-based CELOS system and other intelligent software solutions.

The digital change is also taking place in machine tool construction with increasing momentum. This in turn means that software is also becoming more and more important, even in the manufacturing environment. That is why companies in the branch are keeping a close eye on the developments and are fully aware that the foundations for Industry 4.0 must be laid in everyday manufacturing now and in the near future. DMG MORI supports its customers with the digital transformation on the basis of integral, seamless solutions.

CELOS from DMG MORI

A key building block in DMG MORI’s customer-oriented digitalisation strategy is the app-based CELOS system, which the machine tool manufacturer first presented around three years ago and which it has consistently continued to develop in a targeted manner ever since. Using this uniform user interface for machine and office PC, employees in shop floor and job scheduling can manage, document and visualise job order, process and machine data.

Thanks to its open architecture CELOS allows the exchange of information with higher-level structures in addition to its effects in the shop floor area. So CELOS offers customers complete integration of their machines in the company organisation while simultaneously creating today the interface of metal cutting production in the cyber-physical production system of the future. The benefits in day-to-day operation are convincing: a 30 percent time saving in tooling times and 50 percent lower time and effort for the calculation of technology values or the search for important information are just a few of the effects that can be achieved with CELOS^®.

In addition, CELOS offers smooth entry into the future of metal cutting production, because this takes place gradually. Customers who decide for CELOS today receive firstly unlimited access to the existing 16 CELOS^® APPs and secondly the chance to benefit from future applications. Because CELOS is and will remain upwardly compatible. These benefits alone minimise the barrier to entry enormously. And what is more, the CONTROL APP^® from CELOS enables the continued use of existing programmes, so employees can go on working in their familiar programming and control environments.
