[company_age]unknown[/company_age][employees]11-50 employees[/employees][funding]Seed[/funding][description]Productive Machines is a UK-based company that develops software solutions to optimize machining processes. Their software uses scientific methods such as simulations to reduce production time and waste. They offer a digital twin-based learning platform with three modules: a learning system, process planning, and process monitoring and control. The learning system includes information about tools, workpieces, and processes. The process planning tool integrates with existing CAM software and identifies potential problems in advance. The process monitoring and control tool monitors anomalies and adapts parameters to optimize productivity. All modules are linked, and machine tools can learn from each other to further optimize processes. Productive Machines is a spin-out company from the Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre at the University of Sheffield and is backed by Boeing HorizonX. Their software is unique in its ability to learn from other machine tools, which allows for further optimization of machining processes.[/description][ps]Software solutions for optimizing machining processes.[/ps]
