How can you be sure that the correct program is running on every CNC machine?
Different program versions, manual file transfers, and non-networked systems lead to greater uncertainty in manufacturing. conDNC provides operators with controlled access to the correct NC programs directly within SAP.
A solution. Connected manufacturing.
What is conDNC?
conDNC is a ready-to-use add-on for SAP Digital Manufacturing and SAP ME that combines CNC connectivity, NC program management, and tool management in a single, centralized application.
Instead of switching back and forth between different systems, operators can access relevant production information directly within their SAP environment.
conDNC is designed for manufacturers who want to digitize their CNC processes without replacing their existing machine infrastructure.
Centralized NC Program Management
Manage program versions, releases, and downloads centrally through a single user interface.
Integrated Tool Management
Provide operators with the right tool information – when and where they need it.
Seamless SAP DM Integration
Expand SAP Digital Manufacturing without complex custom developments.
More Efficient Manufacturing Processes
Reduce manual tasks and improve machine availability.
A User Interface for the Operator
How does conDNC
simplify work on the production floor?
conDNC provides each machine with its own digital worklist, thereby consolidating relevant production information into a single, centralized interface.
Operators have access to:
- Production orders
- Machine status
- Operations
- Work instructions
- NC programs
- Tool information
Centralized NC Program Management
How does conDNC manage the lifecycle of NC programs?
conDNC centralizes the entire lifecycle of your NC programs, helping to ensure that operators and machines are always working with the correct program version.
Manage your NC programs with:
- Version Control
- Program Comparison
- Upload and Download
- Archiving
