With Datanomix, there is no reason for reason codes.“The underlying assumption is that reason codes are necessary because the software doesn’t understand how a job is supposed to run and, therefore, cannot possibly tell you whether something is running well or poorly. However, Datanomix has developed an adaptive algorithm that establishes a standard for optimal performance across various metrics, such as cutting time, probing time, touch time, and the number of planned stoppages per cycle, among others. Through G-code analytics, we can determine the cause of each stoppage and the expected duration for each event. Once you have these elements of job performance, you fully understand your process capability without putting any additional burden on your operators.”—Greg McHale, Founder & CEO, Datanomix ### Can you monitor older machines? Sure, we can monitor older machines—the real question is do you need to monitor them? We will work with you to determine what’s best for your shop.- Measure uptime and downtime with an amp clamp- Depending on the model, some cycle time data might be available too. ### How does your scoring system work? By running just a few parts, Datanomix creates performance [benchmarks for *every* job you run](https://datanomix.io/2021/11/22/automate-benchmarking-to-understand-and-improve-your-production/). Benchmarks are based on your best performance for every part and evolve over time, providing a stretch goal for future runs of that part. The benchmarks are also used to create a production score—from *A plus* to *C minus*—for every job.Production scores for every job are displayed on [smart TVs on the shop floor](https://datanomix.io/2022/03/29/broadcast-production-performance-with-datanomix-tv-mode). This easy-to-understand score shows your entire team—in real-time—which jobs are on track and which jobs need attention. Different shifts know how they are performing in relation to your benchmarks and to other shifts, giving everyone an incentive to achieve. ### How does your software get the benchmark for cycle time? Does someone need to enter a benchmark for every job? This is one of the things that makes us unique—[we don’t require operator input for anything](https://datanomix.io/2021/10/27/does-your-production-monitoring-require-operator-input/). Our software automatically figures out benchmarks for cycle time, parts/hr and utilization just by doing statistical analysis on the data coming from your machines. ### What’s involved in getting the system setup? We typically need WiFi network information and can take it from there. We plug a device into your CNC machines, which sit on the WiFi network and collect real-time data. We handle 100% of the Installation, implementation, and rollout plan.[Learn More](https://datanomix.io/kick-ass-coaching/) ### What equipment do you connect to and what data do you collect? Datanomix connects to CNC and legacy machines to collect real-time data like cycle time, part count, machine state, alarms, and tooling info.**CNC Equipment ****(Ethernet or Wireless) **- Part Number- Cycle Time- Part Count- Machine State- Alarms- Operator Messages- Macro Variables- Tooling Data- G-Code Program + Comments- Machine sensor data (loads, feedrates, spindle rpm, etc)**Legacy Equipment (Serial Port)**- Part Number- Cycle Time- Part Count- Machine State- Macro Variables**Legacy Equipment ****(IoT Sensors)**- Cycle Time- Part Count- Machine State- Manual Inputs**Legacy Equipment ****(Current Draw)**- Machine State   ### How many users does your licensing include? Our pricing is per machine per year, not per user. You can have as many user accounts as you’d like. ### Can this data integrate with my ERP system? Absolutely. While ERP integration isn’t required to use Datanomix, our **Universal ERP Connector** makes it easy to connect with your existing system. We securely pull key data like target cycle times, setup times, scrap counts, part quantities, and due dates—helping drive accurate OEE and real-time insights. Our integrations are designed to be fast, flexible, and require minimal IT effort.[Learn More](https://datanomix.io/2025/09/29/erp-data-meets-machine-reality/) #### ROI Calculator ## How much more could your shop be making?
