GF AgieCharmilles has developed and contributed sample code for programming in Visual Basic to MTConnect. The solution was created internally and made available to the MTConnect Institute to further the standard’s development.
“MTConnect will do a lot to transform modern manufacturing,” says Eric Ostini, the GF AgieCharmilles product manager who developed the sample code. “Increasing productivity and efficiency is the key to strengthening the global competitiveness of American manufacturers. Creating a common communication protocol for all manufacturing equipment will redefine the productivity we can achieve.”
The Visual Basic sample code will be used in GF AgieCharmilles’ booth at EMO 2009 in Milan, where attendees can see its application to their operations.
