SHOPGRID® · REAL-TIME NC CODE GENERATION

From ERP data.
To NC code.

Generate machine-specific NC programs in real time from the data that defines your production requirements.

SHOPGRID® connects ERP information with configured program-generation logic, creating NC output on demand for supported manufacturing processes and equipment.

PRODUCTION DATA BECOMES MACHINE INSTRUCTIONS

Generate for the work.
Generate for the machine.

Your business systems already contain information that defines what needs to be produced. SHOPGRID® uses the required mapped data as input to an established generation process.

The output follows the configured rules for the part or process and the target equipment. Machine-specific requirements are part of the implementation.

Use the production requirements Bring relevant dimensions, attributes and identifiers into the generation process where required by the application.
Apply established generation rules Translate the mapped inputs into NC output using logic developed for the supported process and equipment.
Generate on demand Create programs as part of the configured production workflow, using the data supplied for that generation request.
CONNECT THE COMPLETE PATH

ERP requirements.
Machine-specific output.

Program generation sits between your business data and the equipment that performs the work.

We configure that path as a connected process: identify the source information, define the generation rules and establish how the output reaches the machine.

The scope is specific to your parts, processes and equipment. Required inputs and supported output are established during implementation.

Explore Production Workflows
01

Connect the ERP data.

Map the source records and values required to describe the production task.

02

Check the required inputs.

Define required fields, accepted values and how missing or inconsistent information is handled.

03

Generate the NC program.

Apply the configured generation logic and output requirements for the target equipment.

04

Deliver through the release process.

Transfer or make the program available through the supported interface, with the checks defined for production use.

BUILT FOR REPEATABLE PRODUCTION

Keep the requirements
connected to the program.

A configured generation process can reduce repeated manual preparation while keeping program creation tied to the production data.

01 / LESS REENTRY

Use the information already available.

Bring required values from connected records into program generation, reducing manual transcription between systems.

02 / CONSISTENT LOGIC

Apply the configured process.

Generate output using established rules for the supported application, with changes to that logic reviewed and tested.

03 / CONNECTED DELIVERY

Bring the output into the workflow.

Connect generated programs with the relevant work and equipment, using the configured delivery and release steps.

ENGINEERED AROUND YOUR APPLICATION

Your parts. Your process.
Your equipment.

The starting point is a representative production requirement and the expected machine output.

We review source data, example programs, controller requirements and the rules that connect them. That establishes what the generation process must produce.

Validation is planned with your production and engineering teams, including representative variations and the checks required before generated programs enter production.
