HELLER Leverages Artificial Intelligence for Smarter Production

HELLER is pushing the boundaries of modern machine tool engineering by integrating artificial intelligence (AI) into its production systems. The result: greater productivity, higher process reliability, and more efficient workflows across the manufacturing landscape.

Data-Driven Decision Making on the Shopfloor

By equipping its machines with intelligent sensor technology and software, HELLER enables real-time data collection during operation. This data is then analyzed using AI algorithms to identify optimization potential—whether in tool life, spindle load, or cycle time reduction.

SmartCAM and Intelligent Control Functions

A key example of HELLER’s AI integration is SmartCAM. This solution optimizes NC programs in real time, adapting feed rates dynamically based on actual cutting conditions. As a result, users benefit from shorter cycle times and reduced machine wear.

Preventive Maintenance and Predictive Insights

HELLER’s AI approach also enhances machine availability. By monitoring vibration, temperature, and other parameters, potential issues can be detected before failures occur. This predictive maintenance reduces unplanned downtimes and ensures stable production.

User-Centered Interfaces and Digital Integration

The user experience remains central. HELLER provides intuitive interfaces that visualize AI-driven insights, allowing operators to react immediately. The AI modules are integrated seamlessly with existing digital solutions like HELLER Services Interface and myHELLER—ensuring smooth adoption.

Scalable Solutions for All Production Sizes

From single machines to entire production lines, HELLER’s AI features are scalable and adaptable. This makes them ideal for both small-batch machining and high-volume industrial manufacturing, especially in automotive and mechanical engineering sectors.

HELLER’s vision: using AI not as a buzzword, but as a practical tool to rethink productivity in the machine tool industry.
