Predator RCM Software

What is Predator Adaptive CNC?

Predator Adaptive CNC enhances the performance of your critical CNC machines by enabling automated, lights-out production with real-time sensor monitoring and environmental control. Tailored to each part number, it ensures that comprehensive sensor data and environmental conditions are maintained and applied in real-time.

With Predator Adaptive CNC, your CNC operations are continuously monitored. If any condition exceeds preset thresholds, the system automatically halts the machine to prevent potential issues. As-built records, including detailed sensor data, are captured per part serial number and updated every minute for full traceability.

Designed for efficiency, Predator Adaptive CNC supports lights-out manufacturing, offering seamless production and flexibility with the ability to manage up to eight CNC machines per PC. Experience streamlined automation, improved reliability, and enhanced quality control with Predator Adaptive CNC.

Real-time CNC Tending Software

Maximize the productivity of your mission critical CNC machines while reducing the number of operators/labor required. Support for an unlimited number of sensors per machine and part number is included. With 8760 hours per year, achieving the maximum number of production hours per CNC machine requires automation with Predator Adaptive CNC software. Lights out CNC tending operation with off the shelf software, hardware, support and service from Predator Software.

Complete Sensor Management

Create and maintain an unlimited number of sensors. Operators can optionally disable sensors based on the number of parts fixtured.

Traceability

Sensor details are recorded every minute and linked to every part and job. Trend charts for sensor data is available within Predator Adaptive CNC or within an offline application.

Job Scheduling

Predator Adaptive CNC software displays queued jobs in an easy to review list. Jobs can be added, removed, or put on hold according to the day-to-day changes in shop floor priorities. Engineers and production co-workers can view all scheduled jobs on any oven from any PC.

Eliminate mistakes and reduce scrap

Traditional oven and test chamber control requires operators to know and select which recipes are required per part number with recipe management utilizing the temperature controller HMI's small screen and complex menus. Predator Adaptive CNC eliminates recipe management on the temperature controller and utilizes a Microsoft SQL Server or Microsoft SQL Server Express database to store an unlimited number of recipes and parts. Predator Adaptive CNC eliminates the need to manually update recipes or select appropriate recipes. With Predator Adaptive CNC operators scan a bar code or QR code from a work order or traveler. Predator Adaptive CNC can validate the assigned part number and recipe per work order or traveler and remotely run up to 8 ovens per PC from a single touch friendly PC HMI. Predator Adaptive CNC software provides a consistent PC based HMI across multiple ovens and different generations of temperature controllers. Predator Adaptive CNC software uses native temperature controller APIs to maximize the capability and automation of each oven within the cell.

Temperature Controller Requirements

Predator Adaptive CNC software requires PLCs and Sensors and supports a wide range of PLC and sensor vendors.

Optional pass/fail labeling

Unloading each part triggers Predator Adaptive CNC software to automatically print pass or fail labels for every machined part via Zebra printers. Labels can be customized with Zebra's label design software with Predator variables for lot number, part number, job number, operator, etc. Support for a wide range of Zebra label printers is included.

Flexible licensing and purchasing

Predator Adaptive CNC software supports one-time purchase or annual subscription.
