Heidenhain DNC Gateway

Unlock Your NC Data with Our DNC Gateway

Reniver DNC Gateway UI

With Reniver’s DNC Gateway, you can now bridge the gap between your older HEIDENHAIN numerical controls and IIoT systems, MES and ERP effortlessly. By connecting NC machines using our OPC UA gateway, you gain direct access to critical NC data across the entire enterprise, enhancing productivity and reducing operational costs.

Key Features

Seamless Integration with MES/ERP Systems:

Direct integration of NC data into your MES/ERP systems facilitates smooth synchronization across all enterprise levels, optimizing your production workflow and improving operational efficiency.

Achieve Operational Excellence:

Gain real-time insights into actual production times, machine statuses, speeds, and downtime. This data allows you to refine your processes, improve efficiency, and optimize production planning, minimizing waste and maximizing productivity.

Reduced Downtime:

Centralized alarm management ensures that faults are addressed promptly. Quick responses to issues reduce downtime, leading to more consistent production and a boost to your bottom line.

Full Traceability:

Accurately log manufacturing times and production parameters for each product. This comprehensive data trail enhances insight into production quality, ensuring you have complete control over your manufacturing process and product traceability.

How it works

The DNC Gateway uses the HEIDENHAIN DNC protocol to connect directly to your NC machines, mapping all crucial data to an OPC UA server. The server’s data model is aligned with the HEIDENHAIN official NC information model, ensuring compatibility and ease of integration.

Connecting CNC to MES at Sirris

Customer: Sirris

Solution: DNC Gateway

Sirris needed to create digital product passports to enhance traceability and streamline their production processes. However, their older Heidenhain CNC machine wasn’t integrated with their MES system, limiting data access. Reniver’s DNC Gateway solved this by enabling real-time data capture and seamless integration, automating the creation of digital product passports. This solution improved data flow, reduced downtime, and provided better traceability across the production line, showcasing how even legacy machines can support modern, data-driven manufacturing.
