When you need it
I read data from the controls and bring it into a system the shop actually uses.
✓ 13 machines connected
- You know how long machines are on, not how long they actually cut
- Cycle times are written by hand at the end of the shift
- Tool life lives in a spreadsheet updated when someone remembers
- Machines are connected on paper but the link produces no useful data

FAQ
Frequent questions
Do I need new machines?
Often not. Many Heidenhain and Sinumerik controls already expose data. We check machine by machine before promising anything.
Do you handle incentive certification?
No. In Italy that is signed by a licensed professional. I handle the technical side: the connection works and produces data.
Does data leave the company?
No. The system is installed in your network and the data stays there.
