Fabrico is the right choice for manufacturers wanting a unified platform that automatically converts OEE anomalies and sensor conditions into maintenance action. The automated work order generation from multiple data sources is genuinely differentiated.
Fanuc MT-Link i is the right choice for Fanuc-centric shops that want OEM-native FOCAS data with no middleware layer, and also need to pull in third-party machines via OPC UA or MTConnect. The legacy CNC support and 1-to-2,000-machine scalability make it viable across a wide range of mixed-equipment fleets.
