The MTConnect Institute (www.MTConnect.org) has released MTConnect standard version 1.3.0. The standard is an open-source communication standard for interoperability of manufacturing equipment and devices. This version provides significant features, which include inter-device connectivity to enable machine-to-machine communication, additional data items for equipment and devices, as well as improvement to readability of the standard documents. With this release, the MTConnect Institute also launches the MTConnect User Portal, a community site for implementation best practices and shared experiences about implementation of the standard located at www.MTCup.org.
MTConnect is an open, royalty-free, secure standard that provides a common transport and format for all manufacturing data from all devices. It enables interoperability, as well as reduces the complexity and increases the value that can be delivered by software applications. www.MTConnect.org
MTConnect User Portal (www.MTCup.org) is a community portal providing information for implementation best practices and to share experiences for connecting devices on the shop floor. This site has associations with various open source projects housed on the MTConnect github site (http://github.com/mtconnect).
