Advanced CNC
Machine Monitoring
with CNC Applications
CNC Applications provide professional
services and products to CNC machine
tool users. These include CNC Training,
CADCAM software and shop floor
CNC data collection systems. Based
in Warwickshire the company was
founded in 2012 by Ben Groves after
his many years working in the industry
for companies such as the Engineering
Technology Group and Fanuc GE. The
company has grown and gained a
reputation for delivering a professional
service and implementing solutions to
help manufactures drive efficiency and
cut costs.
CNC Applications flagship product is a
CNC Machine Monitoring system called
FactoryWiz. Working alongside our
clients we are helping them identify
untapped production capacity in
their CNC machines. Increasing our
customer’s productivity by just 5%,
which is normally very achievable, the
return on investment is enormous; pay
back can be as little as just 2 months!
We have customers who tell us the
system paid for itself during their trial.
We have another customer who is
saving £3m a year in one cell alone!
FactoryWiz Monitoring is a powerful,
modern CNC Machine Tool monitoring
and data collection package that
allows you to see your whole factory
on one screen (PC / Tablet / Smart
Phone), in real time and live interactive
graphs showing OEE, Part Quality,
Performance and Utilisation. Look back
at past events and performance with
Historical PDF reporting (automatically
emailed to you).
