Automatic Cutting Report &Analysis
Automatic cutting report available in different options for user to choose what are most important and configure sending time
CPC Connect, Cosen’s patented cutting analytic tool, provides automatic cutting report and analysis to help you first understand how machines and blades are being used and in turn manage and optimize them. Reports can be configured to include only key data of your interests and sent at your desired timing: daily, weekly and/or monthly.
Reports come in easy-to-read real-time graphic charts for you to grasp results at a glance.
Why is manual shop floor reporting losing money for your workshop?
If you cannot measure your true factory data, you cannot stop the hidden financial leaks. For small and medium-sized workshop owners, managing multiple machines without standardized data creates severe operational blind spots:
- The Multi-Brand Data Silo: When your shop floor runs a mix of different equipment brands—such as COSEN, AMADA, KASTO, FRIGGI—or older legacy machines without PLCs, it is impossible to centralize management or know your true machine utilization.
- The Guesswork & High Training Costs: Without automated tracking, managers and operators are left guessing which cutting parameters are correct. This lack of transparency leads to inconsistent outputs and high training costs for new staff.
- Material Mix-up and Scrap Risks: anaging thousands of different material specifications manually increases the risk of human error. A single material mix-up on a long, heavy cut leads to immediate material scrap and expensive rework.
What Changes After Implementation
This module replaces unreliable paper logs with hands-free, automated business and cost intelligence:
- Automatic Report Service: You do not need to walk the floor or manually compile paperwork. Based on your customized schedule, clean production reports are automatically generated and sent directly to your email inbox daily, weekly, or monthly—giving you full control over production without stepping into the workshop.
- Shift-Based Productivity Auditing:
Easily configure your factory's specific shift times via the web or HMI. The automated reports break down performance by shift, clearly detailing:
- Total Running Time
- Total Idle Time
- Total Down Time
- Overall Utilization Rate
- Exposing Hidden Costs (Energy & Tool Performance):
Track exactly how much resource each job consumes to quote future projects with 100% precision:
- Precise Energy Tracking: Log the exact power consumption ($kWh$) for individual machines, shifts, or specific work orders. The backend interface can instantly convert this data into actual currency costs
(e.g., $57.00\text{ kWh} \times 0.19 = \$10.83$).
- Blade & Material Analytics: Through comprehensive Material and Blade Reports, you can track the historical cutting area and vibration trends of each blade. This allows you to scientifically evaluate and compare the true lifespan and cost-performance of different blade brands.
- Precise Energy Tracking: Log the exact power consumption ($kWh$) for individual machines, shifts, or specific work orders. The backend interface can instantly convert this data into actual currency costs
- Data-Driven Material Protection: With clear, historical cutting data as your baseline, you significantly lower the risk of ruined materials while helping maintenance teams predict issues early, saving valuable troubleshooting time.
Hardware requirements for automated band saw analytics software
To successfully deploy this module, it is important to understand how the software functionality interacts with your physical equipment:
The Software and Hardware Balance: AUTOMATIC CUTTING REPORT & ANALYSIS represents the core software function —the reporting engine, shift analytics, and cost auditing tools. However, to feed data into this system, the physical data collection host machine (the hardware component) is absolutely necessary to capture the raw operational signals from your band saws.
