About

Smart Factory

Features
Read full description

With the Smart Factory app, you can see your CNC machines in real time. You can also see how productive they are and see a historical timeline. We like to work with pictures, rather than just numbers. This makes parts and production orders easily recognizable. But you can also save pictures of clampings and retrieve them if you produce the same part in the future. Pictures are added to NC files, so every time your CNC machine loads this NC file, the picture will automatically appear.
