Hi,
I run a small software development company in Coimbatore, India. I am looking for some consulting support on MTConnect. Specifically we need guidance in learning MTConnect to collect data from CNC Machines. Can you offer us some remote paid consulting to guide our programmers. If so, drop us an email to vellayanl@gmail.com or reach me at +91-98430-44253 (india)
