APPs are no longer just for smart phones, tablets and wearable tech. Manufacturers now have a wealth of APPs available that can help improve part quality, reduce costs and increase profitability. Okuma America has developed a number of APPs for the THINC-OSP control that is the heart of Okuma CNC machines.

They’ve also created a series of how-to video programs that help users easily download and install these APPs from the Okuma APP Store. There you’ll find 30+ APPs for such functions as CAD/CAM software, measurement, security, and tooling.

Video topics include:

• SCOUT is a tool that quickly identifies if your machine is compatible with App Store apps. All applications have certain system requirements, and SCOUT takes the burden off the user to determine which apps are compatible.
  
  
• How to Install an Okuma Machine Tool App provides the basics for machine tool app installation.
  
  
• Machine Alert allows users to set up machine alarm notifications by email or to ensure chip production without interruption.
