Data Automation - No Robot
Switch to Smart Factory, even without robots
With this software package, EROWA offers you easy and progressive access to digital manufacturing – even for machines without automation systems.
JMS 4.0 ProductionLine takes care of controlling and monitoring your conventional machines and ensures uninterrupted data continuity.
Thanks to a comprehensive and consistent data flow, your processes become transparent, secure and easy to control. All machining data is displayed in a clear and intuitive interface. The operator receives real-time information on machine status, alarm messages and the progress of operations.
Centralized order management, dashboards and reports are accessible throughout the entire company network – from work preparation to the workshop.
Why automate data without robots?
JMS 4.0 PL digitizes the intelligence of your production, while handling remains manual. In this scenario, the operator acts as a kind of robot – guided by a clear and secure digital process.
Fully integrated data flow
Direct transfer of CAD/CAM data
NC programs, machining parameters and work steps are automatically transferred to the machine – without a USB stick or manual intervention.
Synchronization of offsets throughout the entire process
The offsets for pallets, devices and parts are transmitted digitally, ensuring perfect alignment and eliminating manual errors.
Integration of order data from the ERP
Each order contains complete information: part ID, due dates, priority, sequence of operations, and assigned devices.
Uniform data structure for the entire workshop
All machines follow the same logic – regardless of their brand or control system.
Enhanced process safety
Automatic NC program assignment
The operator can no longer load the wrong program: the system automatically selects the correct file for each step.
Reliable identification thanks to chip-equipped devices
Pallets and fixtures can be clearly labelled to ensure that programs and offsets are loaded correctly.
Automated data validation
JMS checks data completeness, tool availability, and offset consistency before execution.
Clear confirmation screens for the operator
Visualization of the part, device, NC program and machine status before start-up.
What JMS 4.0 brings to your workflow
Guided processes – total control – zero errors
With its advanced technical features and perfectly structured workflow, JMS 4.0 ProductionLine brings clarity, security and consistency to every stage of your manufacturing process. NC programs are loaded and executed automatically, offsets are transmitted digitally, and machines are monitored in real time. The operator benefits from precise visual guidance, transparent status messages and reliable part and pallet allocation. Together, these features create a smooth, error-free and fully controlled process.

Benefits for your operators:
Fewer errors. More confidence. More flexibility.
JMS 4.0 ProductionLine reduces errors and brings more confidence and flexibility to everyday work. The correct NC programs are automatically selected, pallets and devices are reliably identified, and offsets are transmitted without manual entry. Before each machining operation, the system automatically checks the integrity of the data and tools to ensure a safe start.
Teams prepare their workstations more quickly: orders, fixtures and programs are ready at the start of the shift, all via a single, clear and intuitive interface. In the event of unforeseen circumstances – delays, missing tools or interruptions – JMS reacts automatically and suggests alternatives, ensuring uninterrupted production continuity.
Your benefits:
• Increased process reliability through data automation
• NC programs pre-assigned to orders/parts
• Quick identification thanks to chip-equipped devices
• Intuitive, unified interface for all peripherals
• Transparent analysis of all machining data
• Complete traceability of parts
• Centralized order management Results:
• Fast and safe machine setup
• Reduced downtime
• Clear, guided processes for operators
• Reliable execution of NC programs
• More efficient planning, fewer interruptions
• Complete transparency across all machining steps
• Increased reliability of processes and results
