Interconnection of Lathes in National Industry 4.0 Plan Perspective
MORO Aratri
Challenge
▪ Interconnection of machinery
▪ Automation of data collection and data log
▪ To know the cost associated with each batch
▪ Real-time monitoring of the entire plant
▪ Compliance with the requirements of the State Enterprise 4.0 Plan
The Challenge
MORO Aratri is highly skilled in the design and production of
ploughs and subsoilers.
The need is to have in the turning department the information of
the product that must be worked at that moment, automate the
data collection, have a log of data and access data from the
offices real-time.
For this purpose, it is necessary to interconnect Heidenhain CNC
lathes with the project management software and company MES,
and Compliance with legal requirements for the Italian National
Industry 4.0 Plan to take advantage of the incentives.
The reading of data from machinery and automatic transfer to
offices and management is required to TOOLS for SMART MINDS.
Solution
Based on a system consisting
of iDaq, Digital Factory 4.0 and
Lilium communicating with the
company machinery and MES
Resources
▪ iDaq
▪ Fabbrica Digitale 4.0
▪ Lilium

The Solution
To satisfy the need of MORO Aratri, software for Industry 4.0,
already developed and tested for a long time in T4SM, was used:
iDaq, Lilium and Digital Factory 4.0 Frontend. They are used
respectively to communicate with machinery, transfer collected
information and monitor the entire plant in real-time.
All the set objectives have been achieved with a complete and
scalable solution.
The machines, 2 Heidenhain CNC lathes, are connected to
project management software and company MES.
iDaq takes care of data collected directly from the field. It is in
fact used to communicate with machinery via the Heidenhain
native library. For each machine, the main operating parameters
are taken.
The main data acquired are:
• Machine status
• Number of production pieces
• Working time
MORO Aratri is a modern
enterprise which developed
knowledge, unique technical skills
and specific technologies in the
engineering field applied to
agriculture. However, the
governance has internalized the
family business values
transmitted by the founders.
The production, notwithstanding it
makes use of modern CNC
machine centers and robotic
system, is harmonized with the
important guidance of the human
factor. This context allows to
obtain high accuracy and quality
standards. Research, production
and engineering work closely with
the marketing and sales, since the
aim is the customer
satisfaction. Due to its skills in soil
tillage, the company has expanded
its product portfolio adding a
subsoiler line to its historical
production of ploughs, which
reflect the Moro Aratri philosophy
and modus operandi: raw
materials of excellence,
sturdiness, maximum reliability,
adaptability to specific needs and
attention to details.

Digital Factory 4.0 collects all the data acquired by iDaq. It provides a global view of the data acquired by the plant machinery.
The data can be viewed in real-time from different locations, each customizable according to criteria of subdivision of machinery or type of data.
Lilium deals with automatic transfer of data to the company database, from which the MES extrapolates the information for the visualization and the archive.

Benefits and Results
All the set objectives have been achieved, thus allowing MORO
Aratri to obtain considerable benefits:
• Determination of times and knowledge of single batch cost:
real-time monitoring increases the efficiency of the entire
production.
• Reduction of human errors: data acquisition is automatic,
reducing manual errors due to manual operation.
• Data immediately available: thanks to the automatic acquisition,
data can be viewed in real-time from the offices.
• Time-saving, production control: the personnel sends the codes
of the articles to be produced directly from the MES to the
machinery based on the order.
• Italian State Incentives of the National Industry 4.0 Plan: all relevant
legal requirements were satisfied in order to access the tax
benefits.
• Production traceability: all the production cycle data are tracked
creating a data log committed per batch.

Potentiality The solution is completely scalable. From the field point of view, it allows both to acquire new sizes and to connect new machines quickly, ensuring a minimal impact on the existing system.
Thanks to the modularity of iDaq, it is possible to interconnect machines with technologies and functions even different from those already connected.
From a management point of view, Lilium is open to interfacing with third-party software for visualization, data analysis and business intelligence.
Finally, Digital Factory 4.0 allows the application of artificial intelligence algorithms, such as Machine Learning, predictive analysis and process drift control for each machine and plant. This makes it possible to predict stops and failures with the aim of promptly intervening, thus reducing downtime and production costs.
The collaboration with T4SM continues with the installation of another Digital Factory 4.0 Frontend, configured differently depending on the role held in the company.
Client Comment
"Trying to solve a problem of interconnection between production - warehouse - management, and advised by one of our historical suppliers, we had the pleasure to meet engineer Vivante and T4SM.
After a quick analysis, we immediately identified the solution and established the realization time.
T4SM has demonstrated technical competence and seriousness, collaborating with the various parties involved in the project and allowing us to achieve the objective.”
