Machine movements that are controlled by cams, gears, levers, or screws in conventional machines are directed by computers and (CNC (Computerized Numerical Control) See numerical control. CNC - Collaborative Networked Communication ) and General Motion Control (GMC GMC See: Guaranteed Mortgage Certificate ) markets. The company's primary product, OpenCNC(R) software, is a software CNC that reduces machine tool control costs, increases productivity, extends the productive life of machine tools and leverages the Internet for real-time data Real-time data denotes information that is delivered immediately after collection. There is no delay in the timeliness of the information provided. Some uses of this term confuse it with the term dynamic data. collection and remote diagnostics Vehicle Diagnostics Vehicle diagnostics enables a mechanic to diagnose the exact mechanical condition of the vehicle and its systems and components. Remote Diagnostics enables to perform such diagnosis without requiring the vehicle to physically be present for checkup. . Unlike traditional CNC controls, OpenCNC uses no proprietary hardware or motion control cards. Metalcutting and electronics manufacturing markets.
