Frequently Asked Questions
What software is used in manufacturing?
Manufacturing facilities use a variety of specialized software including CNC machine monitoring systems, DNC (Direct Numerical Control) software for program management, MES (Manufacturing Execution Systems) for production tracking, ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) for business operations, CAD/CAM for design and programming, and Industry 4.0 platforms that connect all these systems. Excellerant provides an integrated platform that connects machines, manages programs, tracks performance, and synchronizes data with existing ERP/MES systems.
What are the five types of software used in manufacturing?
The five main types of manufacturing software are: 1) Machine Monitoring & Data Collection software for real-time equipment tracking, 2) DNC Software for CNC program management and distribution, 3) MES (Manufacturing Execution Systems) for production scheduling and tracking, 4) ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) for business and resource management, and 5) Quality Management Software for inspection and compliance. Excellerant's platform integrates the first two categories while seamlessly connecting with your existing MES and ERP systems.
How much does manufacturing software cost?
Manufacturing software pricing varies widely based on features, number of machines, and deployment model. Excellerant offers flexible pricing with no per-user licensing fees, meaning unlimited client access once deployed. Costs typically include initial setup, hardware for machine connectivity, and ongoing cloud service subscription. Contact our team for a customized quote based on your specific shop floor configuration and requirements.
Can manufacturing software work with old machines?
Yes, Excellerant specializes in connecting machines of any age. Modern CNCs connect via plug-and-play ethernet or WiFi, while legacy equipment integrates through serial communications or by adding PLCs as intermediary devices. Our 30 years of machine tool networking experience means we've solved connectivity challenges for virtually every machine type and control system in manufacturing environments.
How long does manufacturing software implementation take?
Implementation timelines vary based on shop size and complexity, but most installations are completed within 2-4 weeks. Our process includes hardware installation, software configuration, system testing, operator training, and go-live support. Because Excellerant is browser-based with no client installs required, deployment is significantly faster than traditional manufacturing software solutions.
What is OEE and why does it matter?
OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) is the gold standard metric for measuring manufacturing productivity. It combines three factors: Availability (uptime), Performance (speed), and Quality (good parts) to provide a comprehensive view of equipment effectiveness. Excellerant's software automatically calculates OEE in real-time, helping you identify improvement opportunities and benchmark performance across machines, shifts, and jobs.
Is manufacturing software secure for sensitive production data?
Yes, Excellerant runs on a secure cloud platform with enterprise-grade security measures. The software is compliant with ISO 9000 and CMMC (Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification) standards, crucial for defense contractors and regulated industries. We offer customizable user permissions, Active Directory integration, and secure data transmission protocols to protect your intellectual property and production information.
Do I need IT expertise to manage manufacturing software?
No specialized IT expertise is required. Excellerant's platform is designed for manufacturing environments and requires minimal IT involvement. Our single hardware solution connects to machines without complex networking knowledge, and the browser-based interface means no software installations or updates to manage. Our USA-based support team provides comprehensive training and ongoing assistance to ensure your team can confidently manage the system.
