Resources
How CronusIQ fits real CNC floors, what shops report, and assets for press or partners — in one place.
Use cases
Job shop visibility, downtime triage, shift handover, operator tablets, and multi-cell floors — MachineMetrics-class visibility at a fraction of the enterprise price.
See utilization across mixed Haas, Mazak, and Okuma machines on one board. Know which spindles are cutting, idle, or down — without walking the floor.
Catch stops the moment they happen. Drill into reasons from the office or at the machine so supervisors can prioritize the highest-cost downtime first.
End-of-shift summaries and clear OEE so night and day crews hand off with the same numbers — availability, performance, and quality without spreadsheet gymnastics.
Floor-friendly tablets let operators log downtime reasons where the work happens. Better data in, better decisions out — without interrupting the cut.
Scale from a handful of CNCs to multi-cell shops. Group machines, watch the whole floor on TVs, and keep edge data local when you need on-prem control.

CronusIQ makes software for CNC job shops. CronusIQ Monitoring provides real-time CNC machine monitoring — live utilization, downtime tracking, and OEE — over MTConnect, FOCAS, or OPC-UA, on shop-floor TVs and operator tablets, from $9.95 per machine per month. CronusIQ ERP is an ERP built for small and mid-size CNC job shops — quoting, jobs, scheduling, inventory, purchasing, quality, shipping, and invoicing — that syncs with QuickBooks Online. Each product works on its own and connects through the CronusIQ API.
