It doesn’t have to be that way. Discover in our free e-paper how CAM & MES seamlessly integrate your processes—from planning to the machine.
Connected Manufacturing begins when data no longer stops at system boundaries. When work planning, CAM, MES, and the shop floor work together seamlessly, processes become more transparent, decisions are made faster, and sources of error are minimized.
With hyperMILL and Hummingbird, you can integrate your processes—from CAM programming to machine data and tool logistics—all the way to the machine. WESTCAM works with you to identify where the greatest opportunities lie today—and how you can capitalize on them step by step.
Here’s exactly how Connected Manufacturing makes things better:
- End-to-end integration drives efficiency: The integration of CAM, MES, and the shop floor ensures transparent data flows and seamless manufacturing processes.
- Get started with a modular and flexible approach: Planning, machine data collection, shop floor management, tool logistics, and Connected Machining can be implemented individually and expanded step by step.
- Real-time data enables better decision-making: Up-to-date machine, order, and tool data help identify bottlenecks early on, reduce errors, and allocate resources more effectively.
- The next step begins with an analysis of the current state: A digitalization assessment identifies specific opportunities for optimization and lays the foundation for future-proof, Connected Manufacturing.
Where are there still digital gaps in your manufacturing process?
From the work plan to machine feedback: Find out where data flows break down, where time is lost, and which next step will have the greatest impact.

You don’t have to digitize everything at once. Start with the area that offers the greatest impact today, and gradually integrate your processes into a seamless, Connected Manufacturing system.
Planning & Management
Identify bottlenecks before they occur
Plan orders, capacity, and resources proactively. Transparent management and up-to-date production data help you identify bottlenecks early and keep your production running smoothly and on schedule.
Machine Data Acquisition (MDE)
Know what’s really going on
Gain real-time visibility into machine status and production data. Automatically collected information provides a reliable data foundation, enabling you to make faster and more informed decisions.
CAM Shop Floor Management
The Right Data Right at the Machine
Seamlessly integrate the CAM workstation and the shop floor. NC programs, tool data, and production-related information are available in real time and directly at the machine—ensuring reliable processes and fewer follow-up questions.
Tool logistics
Reduce search time. Increase availability.
Manage tools, availability, and service life centrally. This reduces the time spent searching for items, ensures predictable workflows, and lowers costs.
Connected Machining
From the CAM to the machine—safely
Integrate CAM, simulation, and CNC control into a seamless process. Connected Machining shortens setup times, reduces sources of error, and increases process reliability.
