Machine shop
Cycle time from the controller.Read live, while the part is on the machine.
eManage AI reads each CNC, VMC, and HMC from its controller and checks the cell from the camera above it. Run state, spindle hours, part count, and unattended time land on the job card while the part is still on the machine.
For machine shops, eManage AI reads CNC, VMC, and HMC controllers and existing CCTV, then posts cycle time, spindle hours, part count, and idle time to the eManage job card.
Hidden idle
Running, with nobody there
The controller says running while the operator is at the next machine.
Mixed OEMs
Three brands, three screens
Fanuc, Siemens, and Haas cells never share one shop-floor view.
Typed OEE
Hours keyed at shift end
Cycle hours are typed after the parts have already gone to inspection.
The flow
From bar stock grn to packing and dispatch.One ledger watching every stage.
Today
Bar stock invoices are retyped by hand.

Activity & micro-stops
Operator at one cell, the next unattended and timed. The machine controller still calls it ‘running’.
Questions engineering plantsactually ask.
Fanuc, Siemens, Haas and other CNC, VMC, and HMC controllers, including older machines through a small connection box.
No. Operators still start and stop the cycle at the machine. eManage AI reads the controller and writes the job card.
From the camera. CCTV AI watches the cell from an existing camera and times the period with no operator present, even when the controller reports running.
Monitoring carries on. The box in the plant keeps run and stop records for up to 72 hours.

What could your plantrun better?
A feasibility audit maps the cameras, machines and eManage modules you already run, then picks one place to go live.
