The Model-Aware™ Adapters and AdapterSdk provided by TAMS, represents far more than a brand name. Its the embodiment of an innovative technology that we at TAMS pioneered. Model-Aware™ indicates that the foundation of the solution is a technology, methodology and framework that upholds the highest standards of complance and quality. This isn't just a new way for developing MTConnect solutions; it's a groundbreaking approach we are the poineers of.

At the heart of this technology is a transformative process. It involves the automatic transpilation of the MTConnect Information Model from SysML into C# classes, structures, and enumerations. This pivotal process is what enables the automatic generation of the essential source code that forms the backbone of every Model-Aware™ MTConnect Solution.

Designed for seamless integration and ensuring automatic compliance, Model-Aware™ is at the forefront of innovation in industrial connectivity. Every commercial adapter from TAMS is Model-Aware™, equipped to support an array of features that will change the face of MTConnect and the Industrial Internet of Things. With our Model-Aware™ solutions and framework TAMS is defining the future of MTConnect.

Developed to provide seemless integration with any Siemens 840D Solutionline or Powerline controller.

Unlike other solutions, our adapter does not need to be deployed on the Siemens HMI. You don't need to worry about software conflicts, HMI Lag, modifying OEM INI files, or compatibility issues with the various operating systems or Siemens Operate software. Our solution is plug-and-play and provides a rich data-set that is compatible with the very latest version of MTConnect, and its Model-Aware™ (which means its always compliant)

TAMS solution, developed out of necessity, was designed to overcome the problems we faced with other 3-party adapter solutions, we've deployed in production.

Harnessing the power of the Fanuc Focas Library

TAMS provides a Model-Aware™ MTConnect solution to allow all Fanuc i-series controllers to publish data using the MTConnect Information Model. We have heard people say things like, "We don't need MTConnect with Fanuc, we use Focas". No kidding...

Those solution providers have completely missed the entire purpose of the MTConnect Standard as an Information Model. Focas is the Api everyone must use get data from a Fanuc i-series controller. MTConnect is the standard everyone should use to communicate and store it.

Our Fanuc MTConnect solutions is Model-Aware™ ensuring the data you store is the same as the data you store from all your other MTConnect compliant solutions. Making you vendor agnostic and ensuring your data is future proofed for the use-cases of tomorrow.

Haas machine tools are a staple in numerous small job shops, yet finding viable connectivity options for them can often be a daunting or confusing task. This is where our Model-Aware™ MTConnect Adapter for Haas steps in to bridge the gap. Designed to cater to both legacy and NGC controllers, our adapter solution stands out for its versatility and ease of use, without the constraint of requiring specific firmware versions.

What truly sets our solution apart is its consistent compliance with the latest version of MTConnect, courtesy of the TAMS Model-Aware™ technology. This ensures that users benefit from a solution that is not only advanced and reliable but also seamlessly in line with the most current industry standards.

CMMs (Coordinate Measuring Machines) are often pivotal workcenters in a shop and can be a significant source of bottlenecks. Despite their critical role, integrating them into IIoT projects can be challenging, as they are frequently overlooked or considered as an afterthought. Many existing solutions for CMM integration are restrictive, requiring specific versions of inspection software or failing to adequately capture the time associated with calibration routines.

Additionally, these solutions often suffer from inconsistency in performance. Our MTConnect solution for Hexagon / Brown & Sharpe CMMs addresses these issues head-on. We provide a comprehensive, reliable MTConnect solution that is compatible with some of the most prevalent CMMs in the industry. Our solution is uniquely designed to support both legacy and modern messaging protocols, ensuring seamless integration and consistent performance, regardless of the age or model of your CMM equipment.

What about those legacy machines that are so integral to your shop’s operations they seem irreplaceable? Addressing their connectivity challenges is crucial.

At TAMS, we have experience with all the major PLCs on the market used to connect with older equipment. While these PLCs serve various purposes, they aren't primarily designed for data acquisition. Recognizing this gap, we have explored and tested numerous solutions in actual production environments.

Our conclusion is clear: Labjack T-series hardware stands out as the optimal choice for both digital and analog data acquisition. Its cost-effectiveness and industrial-grade reliability make it an ideal solution for retrofitting legacy equipment.

Pairing these Labjack DAQ devices with our TAMS Model-Aware MTConnect solution elevates their capability, seamlessly integrating them into the MTConnect environment. This combination not only ensures that your indispensable legacy machines can communicate via MTConnect but also does so in an efficient and cost-effective manner.
