DATRON Live Machine Apps
DATRON Live machine apps give you immediate access to the most important data of your machine – especially if you are not standing in front of it. This saves you valuable time for checking on the machine, helps to detect errors earlier and reduces downtimes.
The DATRON Live Cockpit App and the DATRON Live Camera App are suitable if you:
- Regularly leave the machine running while you have other duties to take care of but want to know exactly when the current job is finished – e.g. once you need to prepare it for the next job.
- As a machine operator, you want to check if there is a specific malfunction or one coming up.
- As a CAM programmer you need to know which tools are available in the machine’s magazine and what their current wear status is
- As a production manager, you want to know at any time whether the machine is in operation and in what condition it is
The DATRON Live machine apps are provided in the DATRON next control and can be easily accessed via a web browser on your smartphone or PC. A prerequisite is that you are in the same network as your machine.
The DATRON Live Apps are available as options and can be activated at any time by means of a license key.

DATRON next REST API - Programming and Data Interface
From now on, the DATRON next control provides a programming and data interfac: The DATRON next REST API.
REST is a worldwide and easy to learn standard and stands for Representational State Transfer. API stands for Application Programming Interface.
This new interface enables access to data and functions of the DATRON next control by third party software applications and can be used to develop individual solutions in the interaction between third party software and a DATRON milling machine. For example, it is ideal to connect an MES or ERP system, an automation or an IoT application.
DATRON offers the DATRON next REST API in two license versions.
DATRON next REST API – Basic:
Enables read access to the operating data of the DATRON machine.
DATRON next REST API – Automation:
Contains the Basic version and enables you to start additional functions, for example to execute, stop or cancel milling programs.
