DATRON next software options
– enhance selectively, operate more efficiently
The optional software features of DATRON next make your machine even more powerful and flexible. Whether general control functions, productivity-enhancing features, or automation solutions – customize your DATRON dispensing machines precisely to your requirements and optimize machining processes, safety, and workflows to suit your needs.
Options for quality and process reliability
The quality and process reliability options in DATRON next optimize machining, increase efficiency, and ensure consistently high quality. Whether surface compensation, protected work areas, or multiple execution of workpieces – these features make the workflow faster, safer, and more convenient.
Crosshair Measurement
With Crosshair Measurement in DATRON next, components can be visually aligned in the live camera image. An overlaid crosshair supports precise positioning of the workpiece and accurate zero point setup. This function allows alignment without tactile probing and increases machining accuracy.
Surface profile
The DATRON next Surface Profiling function enables precise measurement and automatic compensation of uneven workpiece surfaces. Height deviations can be corrected quickly and easily, resulting in improved machining quality. Intuitive operation and seamless camera integration make setup especially user friendly.
Visual set up
Automation options for intelligent processes
The automation options extend DATRON next with smart control capabilities and interfaces. From automated zero-point setup and program-controlled processes to integration with MES and ERP systems, these features enable a fully connected, efficient, and flexible production environment.
SimPL-PLC
SimPL PLC from DATRON next enables the automatic execution of custom programs based on machine status. This function is especially useful for automating processes inside the machine area and supports efficient and smooth production.
REST-API Basic
The REST-API Basic of DATRON next provides a powerful programming interface for accessing key operating parameters of your machine. Ideal for integration with third party systems such as MES, ERP, or IoT platforms, it enables monitoring and analysis of machine data via external dashboards or analysis tools. This interface opens up a wide range of possibilities for optimizing production processes.
REST-API Automation
With REST-API Automation, DATRON next extends the functionality of the Basic version with automated control capabilities. In addition to accessing operating data, programs can be started, paused, or stopped, and custom variables can be read and written. This API offers maximum flexibility for controlling and adapting machines via third party software and supports seamless integration into complex manufacturing environments.
OPC-UA Integration
The new OPC-UA interface of the DATRON next control system enables standardized data exchange based on the umati schema and is ideal for integration into modern IIoT and smart factory environments. Whether condition monitoring, production data acquisition, or connection to MES and ERP systems, open standards make DATRON machines even easier to integrate into digital production networks.
Options for greater ease of use
The general options in DATRON next allow you to individually configure and secure basic aspects of machine operation. From user permissions to notifications, these features provide protection, convenience, and transparent control in daily operation.
User Management
DATRON next User Management enables the creation of multiple users with different access rights on the machine. This function protects against unintended changes and ensures safe and controlled operation. Users can log in conveniently via USB key or password, and settings can be easily transferred to other machines.
MailAlert
With DATRON next MailAlert, you stay informed at all times. This notification function automatically sends emails for important machine events such as program completion, faults, or maintenance requirements. This allows you to stay informed even outside the workshop, react quickly, and keep production processes under control.
DATRON Live
DATRON Live ensures that you always have an overview of the operating status of your DATRON dispensing machines!
- Program and remaining running time
- Real-time camera transmission of the production process
- Monitoring of compressed air, vacuum and coolant data
- Overview of the dispensing tools available in the magazine
Protected Areas
With the Protected Areas option, you can define specific zones within the machine workspace that the tool must not enter. This provides additional safety and prevents damage to the raw material and machine components. Easy setup and management supported by 3D visualization ensure safe and efficient machining.
DATRON Live Software Options
The DATRON Live Apps enable seamless monitoring and control via smartphone or PC. The Cockpit and Camera app offer maximum control and efficiency in your production. Make your production fit for the digital future!
Cockpit App
Machine app for accessing the most important operating data and statuses of your DATRON next machine. Interesting for machine operators who want to know when the job is exactly finished without having to go to the machine regularly.
For maintenance personnel who want to check whether the machine runs an error or is about to suffer one. For CAM programmers who want to know which tools are available in the machine’s magazine and what their wear condition is. Or for production managers who want to know if the machine is in operation and what its exact condition is.
The Cockpit App shows you the status notifications for your machine in the upper menu area. By pressing the button, you can see other available notifications. The section below graphically displays the processing progress, as well as the already completed time and remaining time of the program.
Below it, you can read operating data on the vacuum and input compressed air.
- The Cockpit App shows you the status notifications for your machine in the upper menu area. By pressing the button you can see other available notifications.
- The section below graphically displays the processing progress, as well as the already completed time and remaining time of the program.
- Below it, you can read operating data on the vacuum and input compressed air.
Camera App
From now on, you can access the camera of your DATRON next machine remotely, giving you the opportunity to observe the current work progress live without being in front of the machine.
- Access to the camera stream
- Know what happens in the machining area
- Uncomplicated viewing of the workpiece during machining
- Checking for chip nests
- Ideal addition to the Cockpit App
Remote Link App
The DATRON Live Remote Link app can be used for simpl macros. For example, for switching off the vacuum or shutting down the machine.
App Bundle Basic
The DATRON Live "App Bundle Basic" combines two optimally coordinated apps that significantly improve your machine monitoring. With the Cockpit App and the Camera App, you can keep an eye on the operating status and the machining process of your DATRON next machines at all times. This cost-effective package enables comprehensive real-time monitoring and remote control, ideal for users who want to maximize efficiency and control in their manufacturing process.
