Open Mind to showcase hyperMill at AMB 2024

Hummingbird MES team boards enable detailed planning of people and resources for positions or components using drag-and-drop operations

Bicester-based Open Mind Technologies will exhibit at this year’s AMB exhibition in Germany, which takes place 10 to 14 September in Messe Stuttgart (Hall C2, Stand 2B21). The manufacturer of the hyperMILL CAD/CAM suite will not only be presenting innovative enhancements to its software but also its range of services from practical training courses to solution concepts for process optimisation.

Visitors to the trade fair can see three workstations demonstrating how hyperMILL can create a connected, digitalised manufacturing environment. Important aspects to this journey include the Hummingbird MES (Manufacturing Execution System), hyperMILL automation technologies and the virtual machine.

This year, Open Mind CAD/CAM innovation highlights at AMB are set to include hyperMILL Turning Solutions. This innovation is also an example of working with digital twins: lathes with turrets and Siemens control systems where all tools are mapped in detail in hyperMILL Virtual Machining.

Plan, connect, control and automate processes better. An agile manufacturing execution system such as Hummingbird MES helps companies optimise production processes. This allows resources to be utilised in the best possible way and productivity to be increased.

Hummingbird MES is a very flexible solution that offers modules and system components for entry into digitalisation through comprehensive production management.

Jasmin Huber, director of marketing and communications at Open Mind Technologies AG, said: “hyperMILL is a crucial piece of the puzzle for ensuring future-oriented and connected manufacturing. End-to-end, digitalised processes are the key to optimisation of the entire value chain. We look forward to showing trade fair visitors how a high degree of digitalisation has a positive impact on production. At the same time, this can effectively counteract the shortage of skilled workers as well as the increasing time and cost pressures.”
