CNC Machine Planning | CIMCO
Production scheduling and order tracking
CIMCO Scheduler is the production scheduling and order tracking solution that helps customers increase the accuracy of delivery dates, identify untapped production capacity, and allows for planning of preventative maintenance.
Shop floor driven
CIMCO Scheduler provides a central planning board that is driven by real-time data from the shop floor.
Using a specialized mobile interface, machine Operators can provide status updates about orders and machines, which is then instantly reflected in the main planning software and digital signage such as Live Screens and Dashboards.
CNC Planning – CIMCO Scheduler
Production planning and scheduling for CNC manufacturing
CNC planning for efficient production
Effective production planning and scheduling are essential to maximize CNC machine utilization, meet delivery deadlines and reduce bottlenecks on the shop floor.
At SAMEC, we are official distributors and partners of CIMCO (Denmark), providing CIMCO Scheduler as a dedicated solution for CNC production planning and scheduling.
We support customers with implementation, configuration, training and technical support, adapting the system to real manufacturing workflows.
CIMCO Scheduler
CIMCO Scheduler is a planning and scheduling solution designed specifically for CNC manufacturing environments, enabling companies to plan jobs, allocate resources and visualize production in a clear and practical way.
It helps production planners and supervisors make informed decisions based on real machine capacity and job priorities.
