USB sticks or a serial cable, one machine at a time. And to know how far along a job was, you had to walk over to the control and look. That's how it was at Officine Di Giacopo SA — here's the problem, and the custom software we built to solve it.
At Officine Di Giacopo SA, in Riazzino, the programs were already all on the server. What was missing was the connection: the machines weren't networked, so every program reached the machine by hand — on a USB stick or over a serial cable, one at a time.
The archive was already there: the programs were on the server. What was missing was the connection — and a simple way to use it. So we did two things: brought the network right into every machine, and built custom software — not an off-the-shelf product — to run them all from a single screen.
Software we wrote ourselves, custom-built for their machines: the machine list, the programs, the live status of every job — positions, spindle, feed, parts count — and the 3D toolpath preview. The very status that used to mean walking to the control, one machine at a time.
We come to the shop, identify every machine and configure the control's network: IP address, parameters, test run. Clean work, no cable left half-run.
We set up the program archive on your server, a dedicated folder per machine. Everything in one place: tidy, shared and backed up.
From the browser or the machine panel, the operator finds the right program and sends it in one click, with status tracked in real time. Faster than before: fewer steps, no USB sticks, no wrong program loaded by hand.
Other controls? Let's talk.
At Officine Di Giacopo SA in Riazzino we networked Doosan, Hermle and Kitamura lathes and machining centres and built custom software — programs from the panel, every machine's status on a single screen.
