Manufacturing Connectivity and Data Platform

Renishaw is demonstrating its new manufacturing connectivity and data platform at IMTEX 2025. Renishaw Central is a data-driven solution designed to transform the productivity, capability, and efficiency of manufacturing operations.

Bringing the power of connectivity to the machine shop floor, the system collects accurate, actionable data on machines, parts, and processes from across the factory, and presents it centrally for insight and interrogation at the point of manufacture.

The Renishaw Central platform provides machine shop connectivity, consistency, control, and confidence. It allows manufacturers to harness end-to-end process data and use it to develop a robust factory-wide system architecture.

The platform enables one to monitor and update machining and quality control systems. Manufacturing process parameters can also be updated using its unique and patented Intelligent Process Control (IPC) software functionality. The ability to predict, identify and correct process errors before they happen supports increasingly automated solutions and processes for long-term productivity, capability, and efficiency gains.

It operates on-premises, giving one fast and robust process control feedback. This allows one to use local administrators, own their data, and ensure their process control is not dependent on internet connections.

End-to-end process data capture provides insights for analysis and the improvement of manufacturing processes, enabling manufacturers to predict, identify, and correct process errors before they happen. Renishaw Central collects and provides visibility of machining process data across the factory for insights at the point of manufacture. This can be used to analyze and health-check the performance of devices on the shop floor, examine device utilization, and part quality, and to sign off and validate the part.

Data can be passed into industry-leading tools such as Microsoft® Power BI via APIs. Data analytics can then be used for in-process control applications and continuous improvement.
