AsiaWhat is HxGN SFx | Asset Management?
HxGN SFx | Asset Management provides an intuitively easy way to access key machine performance data
Factory asset management based on real-time data is an essential part of every smart manufacturing strategy. But successful asset management depends on having access to actionable insights in a format that is easy to access and use.
HxGN SFx | Asset Management delivers a simple, accurate way to monitor and analyse how key assets are performing via a centralised, user-friendly dashboard, whether assets are on a single site or in multiple factories around the world.
Leverage accurate data in pursuit of operational excellence
SFx Asset Management lets operators and managers keep a close check on machinery running unattended by providing real-time customisable notifications of the performance and status of metrology assets including coordinate measuring machines (CMMs) and laser trackers. And the data aggregated by SFx Asset Management can be used to pre-emptively schedule maintenance and identify sources of downtime.
With HxGN SFx | Asset Management it is also possible to quickly identify which site has spare capacity and gain insight into how systems are used. And because SFx Asset Management is cloud-based, information can be accessed anywhere from a PC, smartphone or tablet.
SFx Asset Management software provides vital information for optimising overall equipment effectiveness (OEE). It can be calculated either for a single device or for a set of devices over various periods of time. An understanding of an asset's OEE can help reduce spending on maintenance while achieving better overall machine performance and efficiency.

SFx Asset Management includes two components: a cloud application, and a client application called the SFx Connector, which is installed on each asset’s computer. The SFx Connector monitors KPIs from all available compatible sources, including metrology software, the controller and sensors. The data is then encrypted and transmitted securely over the cloud, enabling designated users to access it remotely.
| Metrology Software |
The following versions of PC-DMIS support advanced information such as controller error messages and additional operational statuses in addition to basic routine status information:
|
| Machine Controller | DC and RC model controllers with firmware version FDC 14.02 and later – supports controller error messages, jog speed and system telemetry H3C model controllers with firmware version H3C 14.02 or higher – supports jog speed and system telemetry |
| Pulse Software | Version 3.0 and later (provided with SFx Connector) |
| Web Client Browser | Google Chrome 70 and later Microsoft Edge 40.15063 and later Mozilla Firefox Apple Safari (Mac) 12.0 and later |
| SFx Connector Client Requirements | Operating System. SFx Connector operates under 64-bit Windows 10, Windows 8.1, Windows 8, and Windows 7. No other operating systems are supported.
