For machine and software makers

A job into the machine, the fact back

Today the link between preparation and the machine is a file carried by the operator. The system knows the job was sent and does not know what happened to it.

We propose not a one-off connection for a single customer, but an openly described exchange: you implement it once — and your machine becomes part of the order route for your customers.

What we propose

Four parts of the exchange. We discuss the format together.

  1. 01

    A job into the machine

    The layout, machining programs and part parameters are passed from the platform without manual export.

  2. 02

    The fact back

    The machine reports that an operation has started, paused and finished — with quantity and time.

  3. 03

    A shared dictionary of operations

    Cutting, edging, polishing and cutouts are described the same way on both sides.

  4. 04

    Part identification

    The label on a part links the physical part to its record in the system.

What we already have

The protocol has something to rest on — these parts work today.

Execution journal

Available

Job operations: start, pause, resume, finish; blocking on the work-centre board.

DXF from the layout

Available

The layout geometry is exported as a DXF file with closed contours and arcs.

Part labels

Available

Part labels per release; label templates with a QR code or a barcode.

Operations catalogue

Available

The account’s operations with prices and production settings: stage, department, work centre.

What we do not promise

This is a partnership direction — an invitation to talk, not a finished specification.

  • An open exchange for external programs

    Today
    It does not exist yet: today the link to the machine is DXF and labels.
    Next step
    We will describe the protocol together with the first machinery maker and publish it openly.

  • Machine programs

    Today
    We hand over the layout geometry as DXF; your software builds the machine program.
    Next step
    Sending the job straight to the machine is what the protocol is for.

Let’s discuss the format at Marmomac

We start with one line of equipment and describe the protocol openly.
