FeneTech's FENml—Fenestration Manufacturing Language—initiative is a baseline standard of communication that allows fenestration stakeholders to “speak” the same language. FENml combines data from the user’s ERP system directly with the machines on the shop floor. With FENml, users can: leverage historical data to make automatic decisions during production planning; trigger maintenance actions based on sensor values; and use the data collected to better plan for maintenance.
