Predator Desktop™
Provides a paperless platform for PCs, thin clients or Windows based CNCs on the shop floor. A single configurable user interface for viewing, scheduling and DNC. Includes email, printing, Microsoft Excel™, and Access™ integration.

Predator CNC Editor™
The most popular CNC code editor available. It includes hundreds of features to improve the day to day productivity of CNC programmers and machine tools, yet it is extremely easy to use.

Predator MDC™
Real-time manufacturing data collection software with 80+ reports and charts to track jobs, parts, people, OEE, scrap, downtime and 30 other metrics. Predator MDC improves manufacturing operation to manage by the numbers.

Predator DNC™
Makes CNC machine networking simple. Wired or wireless upload, download or dripfeed via RS232 or ethernet to all of your CNCs simultaneously. Supports up to 256 CNCs per PC and includes the Predator CNC Editor.

Predator Virtual CNC™

Predator Virtual CNC is software designed to simulate and verify operation of your CNC machines on your PC. By simulating the machining process off line you literally save thousands of dollars in lost time, scrapped parts, broken tools, machine crashes and improve overall machine productivity.

Predator Tracker™
Organize your tool crib and stay efficient
Predator Tool Crib electronically automates the tracking and organization of your tooling inventory, including tools cutters, inserts and tool assemblies. Predator Tool Crib improves manufacturing processes and efficiencies by tracking consumption rates, re-order levels, scrap and re-work.

Shop Floor Automations distributes Predator Software's Windows® based applications to automate the shop floor and improve production efficiencies. All of Predator's Modules work under Windows Vista, 2003 Server, XP and 2000. Once in place, other Predator applications can be integrated either stand alone, or as part of a working suite.

Predator DNC Networking Module provides a wired and/or wireless CNC communication network  to control, and manage NC programs via the machine's RS232 or  Ethernet port.  The DNC Networking Module can be configured to  communicate across any shop floor, world-wide up to 256 CNCs.  Remotely upload, download or drip from the CNC Control Panel without walking back and forth. Tracking and move files seamless through Microsoft Excel, Access, or a simple text file for ISO 9000 auditing purposes.  Works with over 500 types of CNC controls and PLC equipment.

Shop Floor Control using Predator Desktop Module allows you to initiate upload and download transfers, view secure web documents, launch 3rd party applications, manage CNC code, collect data for your MRP/ERP/MES solution, monitor machine activity, queue work for resources, and more. Predator Desktop allows you to organize CNC programs, offset files, 3D solid models, setup sheets, CAD drawings, tool lists, and other production documents in a simple job traveler.

Predator Manufacturing Data Collection (MDC) Module keeps track of every second for every machine.  A real-time scoreboard displays current machine, part, job, operation and personnel status.  Multiple engineers, supervisors and managers can view the scoreboard form any networked PC. Leverage the power of the Internet and VPN from anywhere in the world to see the status of your shop floor. Predator MDC is real-time software that collects, reports, charts,  and processes shop floor manufacturing data providing OEE. 

Predator Tracker Module electronically automates the tracking and organization of your tooling inventory, including cutters, inserts, gages, and tool assemblies.  Predator Tracker management software improves manufacturing processes and efficiencies by tracking consumptions rates, re-order levels, scrap and re-work.

Predator Virtual CNC Module is designed to simulate and verify operation of your CNC machines on your PC. By simulating the machining process off line you literally save thousands of dollars in lost time, scrapped parts, broken tools, machine crashes and improve overall machine productivity. Natively supports all standard milling machine configurations with 3 to 5 driven axes, including rotary heads or tables, nutated heads or tables, and multiple spindles. Mature CMS Modeling™ technology allows for industry leading performance with over 200 reverse posts provided out of the box.

Predator Editing Module allows for CNC editing of M & G Code, file comparison between files sent from the shop floor vs. programming with a complete report of differences, uploading and downloading via RS232 (including drip feeding) which works prefect on shop floor PCs or laptops.  Predator CNC Editor provides confidence to the shop floor by the 2-5 Axis Solid Verification and back plotting of CNC Code.
