CIMCO MDC-Max 5

CIMCO MDC-Max is a real-time software machine tool data collection system that gives you instant reports and charts about your shop floor productivity. MDC-Max makes your decisions easy as they will be based on accurate data collected from your machine tools.

In today's complex and competitive global markets, it is more important than ever to maximize effective use of manufacturing equipment.

MDC-Max provides powerful machine data collection and analysis capabilities to make this task easier and gives you real time reports including Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE).

All of this can be achieved without the need to place PC’s beside the machine tools - all the data can be collected by cable, wireless or ethernet (network) and is stored centrally even if you have multiple workshops to monitor.

MDC-Max 5 integrates with the latest version of the most trusted CNC-Communication software on the market - CIMCO DNC-Max 5.

MDC-Max provides powerful machine monitoring, data collection and analysis capabilities.

A truly integrated solution

MDC-Max is fully integrated with DNC-Max and NC-Base giving you a complete DNC, document gathering and Machine Data Collection system from one supplier.

CIMCO MDC-Max
MDC-Max is the software which is responsible for collecting all the machine tool data for in cycle and number of parts produced.

CIMCO DNC-Max
DNC-Max controls the sending and receiving of CNC programs to your range of machine tools. Programs can be requested from the machine control thus avoiding the operator having to leave his machine. Any program changed by the operator and sent back to DNC-Max can be automatically raised in version or stored in a quarantine area. This gives you the ability to track changes and revert back to any previous version if necessary.

CIMCO NC-Base
The data collected by MDC-Max can be analysed immediately by the NC-Base module to produce graphs and charts showing you exactly what is happening with your production schedules. NC-Base also allows you to store any documents related to a particular job. These can be drawings, photographs of machine setups, tool lists, operation sheets, CNC programs etc. This makes finding any information about a particular job extremely easy.

Reports and Graphs

With over 100 available report templates you can easily display your data to enable you to explore down to the appropriate level to see exactly what is happening with your production schedules.
