Automate
your machine tools
Automated Process Control (APC) a plug & play solution between your measuring equipment, machine tools and CAM software
Request an apc demo
Produce differently with APC (Automated Process Control).
Thanks to Ellistat's APC module and our machine learning algorithms, you can set up your machine tools in a single piece and achieve better quality results than with traditional SPC or manual correction.
Once the correctors have been calculated by the APC (Automated Process Control), they are sent directly to the machine to create a closed loop.
Our strengths

Connection to measuring equipment
Automatically import measurement data into Ellistat regardless of communication protocol (USB, Bluetooth, RS232, .txt files, etc.) to avoid any manual input errors.

Use of CAD files
Recover 3D files of your parts to automatically configure the APC module.

Connection to CNC machines
Send calculated corrections directly to the machine program, whatever the brand of control (Fanuc, Siemens, Mitsubishi, Mazak, Heidenhain, Okuma...).

How does it work?
Two theses and 10 years of research have enabled us to develop machine learning algorithms for Automated Process Control (APC). Whatever the complexity of the part, whether turning, milling or combined, Ellistat's APC module automatically adjusts each machine tool (CNC). Thanks to this tool, the process is corrected as accurately as possible to limit process drift, and the system learns from its own corrections to improve over time.
Automated Process Control (APC) is therefore unquestionably at the heart of Industry 4.0, combining the need to automate machine set-up and improve production quality.

Key Automated Process Control functions

Connection to CNC machines
Send the calculated corrections directly to the machine program, regardless of the brand of control (Fanuc, Siemens, Mitsubishi, Mazak, Heidenhain, Okuma, Tornos, Beckhoff...)

Automatic calculation of correctors
- APC automates the setting process: the setter produces a part on a machine, measures it and the Ellistat algorithm automatically calculates the corrections to be applied to the machine.
- The process is corrected as accurately as possible to limit drift, and the system learns from these corrections to improve over time.

Configuration from CAD and CAM files
- Simplified Automated Process Control (APC) configuration. Dimensional information is read from part CAD files. Machining mode information is imported directly from CAM files.
- The APC is accessible to both large and small production runs, as set-up times are very short.

Real-time SPC
- Real-time generation and updating of control cards (X-bar, R, P, NP...)
- Create and display histograms in real time
- Instant detection of drifts and anomalies
- Alerts and notifications in the event of non-compliance

Calculation and monitoring of capability indicators
- Calculation of Cp, Cpk, Pp, Ppk indices
- Capability index trend monitoring
- Analysis of process capability to meet specifications

Customizable SPC report
- Create control reports with customizable templates
- Export reports in various formats
- Integration of graphs and statistical data in reports

Compliance with standards
- ISO 9001, ISO 9100, ISO 13485 compliant
- Compliance with FDA CFR 21 part 11 requirements

Integration with existing systems
- Accessible on Premise / on Cloud, full web technology
- API for integration with MES, ERP and other production management systems
- Import and export data via CSV files, etc.

Intuitive user interface
- Customizable dashboards
- Clear, intuitive view of control data
- Accessibility via various devices (PCs, tablets, smartphones)
