Manage CNC data securely – with GNT DNC
Digital data flows instead of USB sticks and file chaos.
Your benefits with GNT DNC software – centralized, secure, efficient
- No more manual transfer - centralized access to shared NC data instead
- Secure data transfer via LAN, WLAN or DECT - configurable for specific control units
- Versioning and traceability ensure audit compliance and proof of quality
- Reduced rejects and shorter downtimes thanks to always up-to-date NC data
- Modularly expandable - ideal for CAM, MES and PDM integration
- Fast response to changes - thanks to automated data flow without media disruptions
Automate NC data management – from CAM output to the machine
With the DNC software from GNT Systems, you can automate the transfer of NC programs to the machine – securely, centrally and audit-proof. Our solution networks your CNC machines with the central NC database and enables a continuous NC workflow – from CAM output to the retransfer of optimized programs.
The right solution for every production
Our DNC software adapts to your production environment – regardless of whether it’s individual parts, series production or retrofitting.
Typical areas of application:
- Toolmaking with changing programs and high precision
- Series production with a high repeatability factor and efficiency requirements
- Production networks with distributed locations and machinery
What our customers say about GNT Systems
Thanks to the GNT.NET MES, we can immediately order the parts we need with a handheld scanner in production, where we assemble the parts, and schedule them for production without any further communication.
On the one hand, this saves us a great deal of time and, on the other hand, we can prevent any communication errors. Thanks to the CMS, we now have a huge database of every activity (repairs, quotations, spare parts, etc.) carried out by our company.
This means that several people can easily carry out several activities without us being dependent on individual people. The GNT.NET MES therefore makes our day-to-day business much easier.

Traceability of planning and actual production times leads to transparency of unplanned downtimes, production controlling, capacity optimization and control of our continuous improvements.
The system functionalities and the resulting advantages were decisive for our decision in two areas in particular: firstly, the clear, graphical display of machine statuses and secondly, the well-structured NC program data management. […] Today, there is more transparency and a better overview in micro-gear production – the best prerequisites for a further boost in productivity.

Frequently asked questions
on the subject of DNC
What is DNC software?
DNC stands for Distributed Numerical Control and refers to the central management and automated transfer of NC programs between CAM systems and CNC machines. DNC software ensures secure data flows, versioning and retransferability of optimized programs.
What advantages does the GNT DNC solution offer compared to manual transfers?
Manual transfers via USB or local computers are prone to errors and lack transparency. With GNT DNC, you can fully automate the process – with revision security, centralized access, clear approvals and end-to-end traceability.
Is the DNC software compatible with my machines?
Yes – GNT DNC supports a wide range of CNC controls (e.g. FANUC, Siemens, Heidenhain) and can be flexibly adapted to heterogeneous machine parks.
Can I also transfer programs from the machine back into the system?
Absolute. The GNT DNC software not only enables the transmission of NC programs, but also the retransmission of edited or optimized programs – e.g. for documentation or reuse.
How secure is NC program management with GNT?
Very secure: All program changes are traceable, versioned and secured with user rights. Release processes and locking functions further increase security.
Does the system also work across locations?
Yes, thanks to the central NC database and network-compatible connection, several plants or production areas can also be networked with one DNC instance.
