Datanomix

Everyone is talking about AI in manufacturing. And yes, it's reshaping the industry in ways we haven't seen before. From CAM programming to how your team interacts with data on the floor, the change is already happening.

But here's the part most people miss. The more connected your systems are, the more valuable AI becomes. Without data traceability across your workflow, AI has nothing meaningful to work with.

Hiren Kumbhojkar of Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence breaks it down with Greg McHale in the first session of the Manufacturing Digital Workflows series.

Reata Engineering & Machine Works, Inc. doesn't run an average machine shop.
Engineer-led operations. Modern hardware. A real plan for scaling automation. The kind of shop that thinks two steps ahead before making the next investment.

They sat down with Tony Gunn to share how they built the digital foundation behind their automation strategy and what it earned them: 27% more uptime, 28% more utilization, and a 7x ROI on Datanomix.

Huge thank you to Mike Masterson, Darius Totah, and Craig Seykota for sharing the work. And as always, to Tony for asking the right questions.

Precision manufacturing is the toughest industry in the world.

A thousand things have to go right for a job to be profitable. Only one has to go wrong to lose money.

Mike Payne knows this better than most. And he's figured out how the digital thread changes the math.

"Because of our digital thread, I can look at the last 10 times I ran this part. We always think seven minutes. It's actually nine. That changes everything — what we charge, what we target, what we expect."

If your spindles are turning just to turn, you're losing money.

Most shops measure spindle uptime and call it a day. Michael Langston President & COO of OMW Corporation used to do the same thing. Then Datanomix “literally expanded their understanding of their operation.”

Time to first active. Long stops. Utilization by work cell. Maintenance windows. Suddenly, the question wasn't "are the spindles turning?" It was, "Are the right machines running the right work at the right time?"

That shift in metrics drove a shift in culture. And that shift in culture drove a 12% improvement in utilization across 43 machines in under a year.

One number never told the whole story. Now OMW has all of them.

Every shop owner asks, “Is this worth it?” before buying software.

Mike Payne asks himself: “Does this get me back at least 1 hour per machine?”

When the answer is yes, it pays for itself!

Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence

Good manufacturing decisions aren't gut feelings. They're backed by data.

Bob McGregor at Neo Industries uses Datanomix to know exactly where his cycle time is going, down to which tool is consuming it. That changes how you spend money.

As Bob put it, "If I have to buy a $600 tool or insert but I'm going to get three minutes a piece back... it pays off pretty quickly."

You have the machine data, ERP data, Inspection results, Spreadsheets, and Whiteboards.

And yet the most basic questions about the business still don't have clear answers.

Data is everywhere. What you need is a partner who turns it into answers.

Greg McHale shares why Datanomix is the right partner on The Machinist Club Podcast with Tony Gunn.
