DNC software for Indian CNC job shops
Built in Coimbatore, priced in rupees, supported on WhatsApp — and designed around the machines actually standing on Indian shop floors, not the ones in a European brochure.
Why buying DNC software from abroad goes wrong here
The established DNC suites are excellent software written for a different shop. They assume a Windows server, an IT department to run it, per-port licensing that scales with a plant budget, and support in a timezone eight hours behind yours. Your floor has a mixed line of Fanuc controls bought over twenty years, one PC in the programming room, and a supervisor who needs the program in the machine before the shift changes.
- Licensing that assumes deep pockets — priced per port or per module, so a 12-machine shop pays like a plant.
- Support tickets answered overnight, when the machine is stopped now.
- Installers that want a server, a database, and a domain login before they'll run.
- Nobody who can tell you which serial-to-Ethernet converter to buy in Coimbatore this week.
What we built instead
- $99 per CNC machine, paid once, invoiced in rupees with GST — published on the site rather than quoted, and never billed again.
- A single lightweight service on one ordinary Windows PC — no server, no database to administer, running headless from boot.
- Legacy Fanuc 0M / 0T / 16i / 18i / 21i controls handled over RS-232 through a cheap converter; 0i-F and 30i/31i/32i handled straight over Ethernet.
- Drip-feed that survives a multi-hour mold cut without dropping characters.
- WhatsApp support in English or Tamil, from the people who wrote the code.
- Fully offline on your LAN — no cloud account, nothing leaving the shop.
Shops we work with
Installation is remote and takes an afternoon, so where you are matters far less than what you run. We work with job shops, tool rooms, and press-part suppliers across the Indian manufacturing clusters:
Not on the list? It changes nothing — the software installs the same way anywhere in India, and setup happens over a screen-share.
What an install actually looks like
- You tell us your machine list: make, control series, and whether each has an Ethernet port.
- We tell you which machines need a converter and which don't — usually the same day.
- You install on one Windows PC in the programming room. No server, no IT ticket.
- We set the machines up with you over a screen-share, one at a time, starting with the awkward one.
- Your operators keep working exactly as they do now, minus the walk to the machine.
Frequently asked, by Indian shops
Is ElectronIx DNC an Indian product?
Yes. It's built and supported by ElectronIx in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu. The people who answer your WhatsApp message are the people who wrote the software, in your timezone.
Do you support shops outside Tamil Nadu?
Yes — the software installs and runs identically anywhere. We support shops across India remotely: setup over a screen-share, converters shipped to you, and WhatsApp support in English or Tamil. Most installs never need anyone on site.
Is the price in rupees, and do you invoice with GST?
You are invoiced in rupees, with GST, by an Indian company in Coimbatore. The rate is $99 per CNC machine, one time — that is the basis the rupee invoice is built from, so a shop in Coimbatore and a shop abroad pay on the same terms. It is a purchase, not a subscription: there is no renewal to budget for and nothing that stops working next year.
Our machines are old Fanuc 0M and 0T controls. Will this work?
That's the common case in Indian shops and it's what the product was built around. Legacy RS-232-only Fanucs connect through an inexpensive serial-to-Ethernet converter; controls with built-in Ethernet connect straight to the FTP server with no extra hardware.
Does it need internet on the shop floor?
No. Everything runs on your own LAN — no cloud account, no data leaving the shop, and no transfers stopping because the broadband is down. That matters on a floor where the internet is a dongle on a windowsill.
Can you help us buy the right converter?
Yes. Tell us the make and control series of each machine and we'll tell you exactly which converter you need and how many — or source them with the software if you'd rather buy it as one package.

Work out your price, or ask us to check
The price is $99 per CNC machine, once — so you can do the sum yourself. Send your machine list if you want us to confirm which of your controls connect straight over Ethernet and which need a converter, and we'll reply the same day. Or call and talk it through with an engineer instead.
