FMS Insight is a client and server which runs on an flexible machining system (FMS) cell controller. It provides a server which stores a log of all events and stores a log of planned jobs, a server which translates incomming planned jobs into jobs in the cell controller, a REST-like HTTP API which allows other programs to view the events and create planned jobs, and an HTML client which displays a dashboard, station monitor, and data analysis based on the log of events, planned jobs, and current cell status.
