MTConnect Standard

MTConnect Standard

MTConnect is a protocol designed for the exchange of data between shop floor equipment and software applications used for monitoring and collecting data. MTConnect is not only a protocol, but a communication standard built around Internet communication technologies.

MTConnect incorporates a multi-layered design allowing for greater flexibility and interoperability. There are three components needed for MTConnect to provide data: the MTConnect Adapter, the MTConnect Agent, and an application.

Scytec DataXchange fully supports MTConnect enabled machines. Scytec, being an active member of the MTConnect Standards Committee, can help answer any questions that may arise about the use of MTConnect, such as, what is MTConnect, how to get MTConnect, or how MTConnect should be installed on your machine.
