ProMASTER – The Production Control System with Direct Shopfloor Integration
ProMASTER is a powerful and user-friendly software solution for the metal cutting industry. It seamlessly connects your IT systems (ERP, MES, PLM, CAM, warehouse & logistics) directly with the shopfloor – enabling end-to-end, automated, and transparent production control.
In metal processing, machines, tools, resources, and processes must be perfectly coordinated. At the same time, data from ERP and MES systems is often difficult to access – or simply too inflexible for day-to-day production operations.
ProMASTER is the solution.
The system enables automated execution of production orders, intelligent resource planning, fine-tuned process control, and real-time monitoring – giving you full control over your production.

Automate Material Handling. Optimize Processes.
ProMASTER coordinates the automated transport of workpieces between various production and process steps using AGVs (Automated Guided Vehicles). These steps range from picking and handling parts to multiple machining, washing, and measuring operations. By controlling driverless transport systems, individual process steps can be defined for each order, allowing full automation of the entire process chain.
Live. Anytime. Anywhere.
With the browser-based WebHMI interface, you have location-independent access to your production data – securely, intuitively, and in real time. Whether on a PC, tablet, or smartphone.
Benefits
SECURITY OF INVESTMENT
Thanks to its modular architecture, ProMASTER can be expanded at any time with additional or customer-specific functionalities.
USER-FRIENDLY
Connects ERP, MES, and numerous other third-party systems directly with machines, AGV systems, and personnel. Features a modern, intuitive interface. With the WebHMI interface, systems can be controlled and monitored via a browser – even on tablets or smartphones.
FORWARD-LOOKING PLANNING
See at a glance how heavily your machines are loaded with orders. The production schedule is updated and maintained in real time for every order.
INCREASED PRODUCTION EFFICIENCY
Gain a clearer overview of the production status of individual orders. Predictive planning helps avoid bottlenecks and maximizes machine uptime.
NO UNPLANNED MACHINE DOWNTIME
ProMASTER continuously monitors all resources required for production – such as pallets, fixtures, tools, raw materials, and more – in alignment with your processes and tracks production progress at all times, even on mobile devices.
INDEPENDENT
Machine manufacturer-independent - with individual, customised interface solutions. The user interface for the operator is always the same.
FLEXIBLE ORDER ORGANISATION
With ProMASTER, various batch sizes, multiple setups, and part-, process-, or pallet-oriented production are all possible – either operator-driven or fully automated.
MANAGEMENT OF LOGISTICS TASKS
By integrating Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs), logistics tasks can be automated, enabling machines to be automatically supplied with the required materials and tools.
UNMANNED PRODUCTION
Autonomous, unmanned operation reduces the need for constant personnel presence at the machine.
