    The FactoryWiz DNC server creates a secure buffer zone between your CNC equipment and unintended external access. Only authorized workstations communicate directly with machines.
  • Compliance & Control
    Compatible with virtually all security suites to help you meet corporate standards (including CMMC requirements), enforce antivirus policies, and manage user authentication through Active Directory.
  • No Forced Cloud Updates
    Hosted within your security perimeter, FactoryWiz never downloads software without your consent. You maintain complete control of all updates and data flow.
  • Secure Communication Protocols
    Logging every transfer to and from your CNC machines ensures you retain a verifiable record of file changes, helping you mitigate risks and maintain regulatory compliance.

These robust measures ensure FactoryWiz DNC not only boosts productivity but also minimizes threat transmission surfaces, giving you control and peace of mind.

What Are the Benefits of Having Monitoring with DNC

Integrating FactoryWiz DNC with FactoryWiz Monitoring unlocks additional capabilities that go far beyond traditional stand-alone systems. By pairing the two solutions, you gain accurate data collection and deeper insights into your production process.

Enhanced Visibility & Data Accuracy

  • Correct Part Number Tracking
    When your CNC uses macros for multiple parts in one program, FactoryWiz DNC can send the actual part number to FactoryWiz Monitoring, ensuring accurate reporting.
  • Comprehensive Data Points
    Even if your machine doesn’t natively track offsets, tool usage, or probe measurements, DNC scripts can transmit this data to the monitoring system for a more complete picture.
  • Process Validation
    If on-machine inspection or probing is used, measurement data can be automatically captured and sent to FactoryWiz Monitoring. This data can help you quickly identify and correct tool wear or offset issues.
  • Eliminate Physical Media Risks
    By removing the need for memory sticks, you cut down on both process errors and malware vulnerabilities.

Together, FactoryWiz DNC and FactoryWiz Monitoring ensure accurate, real-time data for better decision-making, increased efficiency, and higher production quality.
