Total Run/Uptime Tracking

[[Ja...]]

I was asked by our operations manager if there was a way to see total runtime/uptime for the CMM? I know you can track via each program but I need total for all.

I'm pretty sure that CMM observer (First link) will give you what you are looking for.
The second link is a PCM option.

Found this on the portal as well.

it’s already made automatic by Calypso, you have all the info in:
C:\Users\Public\Documents\Zeiss\CMMObserver\ProgramDurationRecord.XML
open it with excel and you have all you need there..

the only limitation is that if you close the Calypso monitor you don’t have any record.

You can request to use the Smart Services. There is a bunch of different information, like CMM computer temperature, soft/hard collisions (which you can setup to email you if you wanted), CMM usage, hours the CMM has been in production, CMM travel in each axis, etc. You will get a daily overview of the percentage the CMM usage for the last 7 days, etc. This is free, you just have to sign up for it. There is a upgraded version you can pay for, which allows you to customize a bunch of things, one in particular, you can set up shifts, and monitor what the usage is between shifts.

We use Smart Services on 3 CMM's. Pretty useful. Tells use run time, machine utilization and soft/hard collisions.
