Abstract
A system, method and computer program product arranged for managing the operation of a machine and tracing the use of a cutting edge of a cutting tool used in the operation of the machine. The method includes the steps of reading an identification marker of a cutting edge of a cutting tool inserted into the machine, decoding the identification marker to determine a cutting edge information data associated with the cutting edge, obtaining machine operation data associated with the operation of the machine from the machine, and generating a first association data indicative of the cutting edge information data and the machine operation data.
Claims10
A system for managing the operation of a machine and tracing the use of a cutting edge of a cutting tool used in the operation of the machine, the system comprising:
- a reader device configured to detect and read plural identification markers;
- a user interface associated with the machine;
- a processing circuitry operatively connected to the reader device;
- and
- a computer program product including a non-transitory computer readable medium having thereon a computer program including program instructions, the computer program being loadable into the processing circuitry and configured, when run by the processing circuitry, to cause the system to:
- read, by the reader device, the plural identification markers of the cutting edges of the cutting tool when the cutting tool is inserted into the machine;
- decode the identification markers to determine cutting edge information data associated with the cutting edges;
- generate a request for a selection of only one identification marker of one cutting edge that is used in the operation of the machine;
- present the request for a selection of only one identification marker via the user interface;
- obtain machine operation data associated with the operation of the machine from the machine;
- and
- generate a first association data indicative of cutting edge identification data and the machine operation data.
