MTConnectとは 意味・読み方・使い方

MTConnect is a manufacturing industry standard to facilitate the organized retrieval of process information from numerically controlled machine tools. The initiative began as a result of lectures given by David Edstrom of Sun Microsystems and Dr. David Patterson, Professor of Computer Science at the University of California, Berkeley (UCB) at the 2006 annual meeting of the Association for Manufacturing Technology (AMT) membership. The two lectures, “How the Internet’s Participation Age Will Drive Dramatic Changes in the Machine Tool Industry” & “Creating A Thriving American Manufacturing Base In The 21st Century America” described the need for an open communication standard to enable Internet connectivity to manufacturing equipment. Initial development of the standard was carried out by a joint effort between the UCB Electrical Engineering & Computer Sciences (EECS) department, the UCB Mechanical Engineering (ME) department (both in the College of Engineering) and the Georgia Institute of Technology , using input from industry representatives. The resulting standard is available under royalty-free licensing terms.
