APPLICATION OF A COMPUTER TOOL MONITORING SYSTEM IN CNC MACHINING CENTRES

The article presents practical knowledge about production process optimisation as a result of implementing a specialized system monitoring the work of machining tools. It features complex results of the conducted research with use of dedicated equipment and software, whose unconventional application may appear to be an effective IT tool for taking operational and strategic decisions in the machining area. This results from the possibility of analysing the obtained data in both current and long-term perspective, and taking decisions on this basis, which significantly conditions the rationality of using this type of solutions.
