The use of (real-time) data to adjust production processes - in machining one speaks of "adaptive machining" - is the future of production. This is made possible by the increased availability of sensors. However, everything depends on having and understanding a standardised and structured model, in which the digital information is processed into a physical action. Such models are the key to successful digitalisation. In a series of blog posts, we highlight some basic models. In this fourth section, we address economic and productive cutting speed.
