Versatile Connectivity

Have machines without RS-232 connectivity? No problem! Support for modern machines with FTP capability or folder sharing ensures all of your CNC's can communicate through one system.

Ease of Use​

The large, touch-optimized buttons make FactoryWiz DNC software easy to use for new operators.

The navigation structure has been optimized to provide quick search access to specific machines, files, and folders from any device.

 Clearly labeled buttons are color coded to point you to what options are available in your current state. Features you use most will always be clearly visible.

Your CNC list can be organized by cell or department, making it simple to find or search for machines. Restrict end users to viewing particular departments and keep them out of configuration screens.

Kiosks can be configured to automatically log in as a particular restricted user without prompting for passwords.

Use remote requests (from most machines) to download files from your network directly from the CNC control panel and transfer without ever walking to a computer.

Powerful File Management

The structure of FactoryWiz DNC separates message and configuration directories.

The structure of FactoryWiz DNC separates message and configuration directories so you can use Windows security features to further lock down access without manually manipulating each file. Configure specific directories on a machine-by-machine basis with the ability to override the permissions to create “Super Users”.

FactoryWiz DNC can manage files going to and from USB drives for non-attached machines, ensuring that newly modified files get sent to the appropriate inbox folder for proper review.

Files which are not accessible to your DNC system can be automatically imported from local drives and removable media without risk of interruption. Users are allowed to quarantine returned files in a separate area in the directory until approved for addition to your library. Spend less time moving one-time-use files into approved program directories, and never interrupt a drip-feed by accidentally removing a USB stick again.

Mobile Client

Time wasted waiting for a file to transfer is the same as wasted money. Eliminate bottlenecks on the shop floor by with the FactoryWiz DNC from multiple computers at the same time. Soon you will be able to access your client software through any Windows-based PC, tablet, or mobile device with a standard web browser. Also, if an operator or supervisor has a windows-based mobile device with intranet access, they can even perform a remote request search without using the CNC’s limited keypad!
