Work Less...Get More - Streamline everyday tasks
EMS DNC helps you manage your CNC communications more effectively in less time than you spend now by simplifying your processes. Imagine downloading the correct CNC programs and sub programs automatically by clicking a single bar code.
Not quite ready for bar coding, then consider Remote Request.. Remote Request empowers the machinists to request the CNC program at the CNC machine and eliminates walking back and forth.
Saving time is only part of the story. By tracking and organizing all of your CNC programs, offsets, and CNC parameters in EMS DNC; you will enjoy improved setups, easier first article sign offs, and less stressful ISO 900x audits. And that makes it easier for you to steer your shop floor towards success. Ultimately, EMS DNC can help you work more productively and give your business an edge. Here are just a few examples.
DNC up to 256 CNCs per PC
Have an entire shop floor of CNC machines? EMS DNC supports up to 256 CNC machines per PC for simultaneous dripfeeding, downloading, and uploading. Organize your CNC's by grouping them per building or cell. Network your EMS PC.s to support an unlimited number of CNCs.
NOTE: Multiple CNCs per PC requires compatible hardware such as EMS Xpress and Flex series.
Improve Your Workflow
Tired of using switch boxes, diskettes, paper tape, laptops, or some proprietary hardware contraption to communicate with your CNCs? EMS DNC provides a true network solution insuring the latest CNC programs are pulled from your file server and when when changes or revisions occur the edits are stored back on your file server.

Remote Request.
Tired of walking back and forth between your CNC and your PC? Remote Request allows the operators on the shop floor to dripfeed, download and upload CNC programs directly from their CNC controls. This is where any similarity between EMS DNC and other DNC packages stops and the Power of EMS begins. EMS's Remote Request. supports Remote Autoname. for simplified uploading of NC code remotely from the floor, Remote Feedback. for visibility back to the DNC server PC when errors occur, and an unlimited number of possible Remote Commands for each and every CNC you create in the DNC Explorer. interface. Best of all, this power is included at no extra charge.
EMS DNC Connect.
