What types of machines can Excellerant's software connect to?
Our platform supports universal connectivity for nearly any machine found in manufacturing spaces, including CNC machines, stamping machines, presses, injection molders, lathes, mills, and assembly stations. We work with any brand, any communication protocol (MTConnect, OPC UA, Fanuc Focas, HAAS MNET, Mazak Mazatrol), and any machine age—from modern CNCs with ethernet connections to legacy devices using serial communications.
How does the system integrate with existing ERP or MES platforms?
Our Open API enables seamless bi-directional data synchronization between shop floor systems and major enterprise platforms like SAP and Oracle. Data flows in real-time, eliminating manual entry and ensuring your business systems always reflect current shop floor reality with complete accuracy.
What is the typical implementation timeline for manufacturing operations management software?
Implementation timelines vary based on facility size and complexity, but our experienced team works efficiently to minimize disruption. Most installations include hardware setup, software configuration, system integration, and comprehensive training. We provide USA-based technical support throughout the process to ensure a smooth deployment.
How does real-time OEE monitoring improve manufacturing productivity?
Our OEE monitoring continuously calculates availability, performance, and quality metrics, providing granular breakdowns by machine, shift, and job. This visibility enables you to identify bottlenecks, compare actual vs. expected output, reduce downtime, and make data-driven decisions that measurably improve overall equipment effectiveness and manufacturing productivity.
Can the system work with both wired and wireless connections?
Yes, our DNC networking solutions support both wired ethernet and wireless WiFi connections. We pioneered the world's first wireless DNC connection in 2001 and continue to offer flexible connectivity options that suit your facility layout and infrastructure requirements.
What security measures are in place for manufacturing data?
Our platform runs on a secure cloud infrastructure with standards-compliant security features supporting ISO 9000 and CMMC (Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification) requirements. We provide highly customizable user permissions, Active Directory integration, and controlled access to ensure your manufacturing data and CNC programs remain secure.
How does automated downtime tracking work?
Our system automatically records every machine stoppage and provides operators with a user-friendly one-tap interface to quickly categorize downtime reasons (personnel issues, materials, tooling, equipment malfunctions). The platform also monitors machine fault codes and error conditions, enabling powerful root cause analysis to reduce unplanned downtime.
Is there a limit on the number of users or devices that can access the system?
No. Our browser-based platform provides unlimited client access with no additional licensing fees. You can add as many users, displays, tablets, or workstations as needed without incurring extra costs, making it easy to scale as your operation grows.
