ecoEDGE replaces the shop-floor DNC PC, isolates your CNCs from the enterprise network, and turns machine data into a stream your MES can use — on the machines you already run.
Most shop floors still move NC programs by USB stick or CF card, through an always-on Windows DNC PC sitting open on the enterprise network. It is slow, it loses revisions, and it is a live security exposure.
Sticks carry wrong revisions between office and machine. Spindle starves while someone hunts for the right file.
Windows 7/10 with SMB 1.0 open on the LAN — the same vector behind WannaCry. Every CNC is reachable from any infected machine.
No record of which program, which revision, or which operator ran a job. Audits become guesswork.
Is the spindle cutting, indexing, or idle? Without data, shift reports stay a matter of opinion.
ecoEDGE replaces the shop-floor PC and speaks your controller's native language — no changes to CNC hardware or operator workflow.
ecoEDGE reads Haas NGC machine data natively through Q-codes — free of licensing, even on older machines — and presents it as an MTConnect stream your MES or PLM can ingest. MQTT runs as the internal backbone; MTConnect is the outward-facing feed.
Machine state, program name, and part counts from every Haas NGC — no per-machine control licence.
The incumbent dialect of US machining, presented outward so your existing systems ingest it cleanly.
Your validated MES/PLM stays the system of record. ecoEDGE delivers attributable, timestamped data into it.
Traceability is not a dashboard feature in regulated manufacturing — it is a contractual and regulatory obligation. ecoEDGE captures the machine-side record your auditor asks to see.
The International Automotive Task Force quality standard, mandatory for OEM and Tier-1 suppliers. ecoEDGE logs program revision, machine, and operator per part — audit-ready.
Prove the approved, released program revision is what actually ran — the machine-side record that supports your configuration-management system.
Feed attributable, integrity-checked machine data into your validated MES that carries the Device History Record — a clean feeder, not a system to re-validate.

Real-time alerts. Right person, right time.
ecoEDGE is built by Hytech Services, with over 42 years serving the CNC community — DNC connectivity across Haas, Fanuc, Mitsubishi, and Sinumerik controllers, from the oldest serial machines to the latest NGC.
That field experience is the difference: ecoEDGE solves the connectivity and traceability layer most Industry 4.0 platforms skip — the layer that has to work before any dashboard means anything.
Whether you run a mixed Haas fleet, a regulated aerospace or medical shop, or a tool room moving off USB sticks — tell us what you're working with and we'll show you what ecoEDGE captures.
