Hypertherm Waterjet Technology Supports Smart Factory Implementation!

Hypertherm Associates, a global leader in cutting technologies, has introduced its latest Omax abrasive waterjet solutions tailored for manufacturers adopting Smart Factory processes and digitalization. These advanced systems are designed to enhance productivity, improve decision-making, and minimize downtime through integrated digital tools and real-time data monitoring.

At the heart of this innovation is the Omax Utilization and Maintenance Dashboard, which continuously collects and analyzes critical machine data. The dashboard tracks parameters such as usage rates, projected garnet consumption, and anticipated maintenance requirements, offering operators actionable insights to optimize efficiency and reduce production interruptions. By enabling predictive maintenance and resource planning, the system supports smarter workflows aligned with Industry 4.0 standards.

Complementing this capability is the Omax Order app, available on both iOS and Android platforms. The app provides machine owners and operators with accurate part identification tools, ensuring that the right spares and maintenance kits are available when needed. By linking directly to the Omax marketplace, the app streamlines the ordering and fulfillment process, helping users avoid delays caused by incorrect parts or supply shortages.

Together, these digital solutions reinforce the value of Omax abrasive waterjet systems by enabling manufacturers to get the most out of their equipment investment. The integration of smart monitoring and simplified part management reduces the risk of unplanned downtime, lowers operating costs, and maximizes throughput.

Hypertherm Associates has long been recognized for its commitment to advancing cutting technologies, including plasma, waterjet, and software-driven solutions. The addition of smart dashboards and digital ordering tools demonstrates the company’s continued focus on helping customers transition to more connected, automated, and data-driven manufacturing environments.

With these enhancements, Omax systems not only provide precision cutting performance but also contribute to the broader goals of Smart Factory adoption—greater efficiency, higher uptime, and reduced total cost of ownership.
