30 Years of Machine Tool Networking Experience

The Excellerant team has spent the last three decades networking machines across hundreds of manufacturing plants. As the first-to-market pioneers of wireless DNC, we have a proven history of leadership at the forefront of manufacturing technology.

Every shop floor looks different and every machine has its challenges. Over the years, we have developed the hands-on experience required to integrate any mix of machines, new or legacy and synchronize your data into your ERP, MES, or Machine Learning systems.

Let your team focus on their core missions rather than spending time becoming domain experts on CNC connectivity – we have you covered.

A History Of Excellence

Macdac Engineering is founded as a reseller and installer of Easytalk, an MS-DOS based DNC and communication protocol for any machine tool.

Macdac begins reselling and installing Focal*Point, a Windows 95 DNC package with early ERP integration.

John Carpenter, former DNC Lead Systems Integrator, joins the Macdac team with a focus on internal technology development.

Macdac becomes the sole east-coast distributor for ExtremeDNC – the first fully 32-bit DNC package, developed specifically for Windows NT.

Macdac Engineering develops and premiers the world’s first wireless DNC connection to a machine tool, launched in partnership with Comtrol Corporation and Enterasys Networks.

John Carpenter establishes WireFreeCNC as a separate company to continue pioneering wireless technology and machine data collection in the manufacturing world.

After 4 years of exponential growth, WireFreeCNC is featured on the front cover of Modern Machine Shop – a 75 year old globally recognized publication.

16 years of machine tool networking integrations leads to coding our own machine monitoring software platform.

A strategic partnership is formed with Forcam, a leading MES platform provider, bridging the gap to the Large Enterprise.

After years of continued iterations and feature development, WireFreeEvents is re-launched as Excellerant during the Smart Manufacturing Experience held in Boston.
