Voice recognition software has been a growing trend in the Industrial Internet of Things and is already changing the way we look at machine tools.

Athena is a hands-free way to execute a number of machine tool control and information display functions using voice-control technology.

For now, Athena is a hands-free way to execute a number of control and information display functions—one operator to one machine—with commands like, “run part-program 208 . . . stop coolant . . . change tool to T-15,” and so on.

Makino is leading the way in advancing voice-recognition human-machine interface (HMI) technology in machine tools, but it is not doing that on its own. The company is working with the company iTSpeeX, developer of Athena, which they call “the first universal, voice-operated-assistant technology specifically designed for manufacturing work.”

For now, Athena is a hands-free way to execute a number of control and information display functions—one operator to one machine—with commands like, “run part-program 208 . . . stop coolant . . . change tool to T-15,” and so on. It can provide instant access to CNC information that otherwise requires wading through the CNC interface to find things such as machine settings or maintenance history…SEE IT IN ACTION.
