MTConnect gateway

MTConnect is an open, royalty-free standard designed to facilitate the exchange of data between CNC manufacturing equipment and software applications, such as the SIA Connect gateway. It provides a common language and interface based on the web protocol and RESTful API, ensuring seamless communication and interoperability.

MTConnect, short for “Manufacturing Technology Connect,” is maintained and updated by the Association for Manufacturing Technology (AMT). This ensures that the standard remains relevant and continues to evolve with the needs of the manufacturing industry.

• Mazak
• Haas Automation
• Okuma
• FANUC
• Siemens
• Makino
• DMG MORI

many of these vendors provide MTConnect either directly integrated into their machines or as additional software that acts as a layer between their proprietary protocols and the MTConnect standard. This flexibility makes it easier for manufacturers to adopt and benefit from MTConnect’s capabilities.
