SCM software

Maestro, the software
that conducts the machines

SCM's Maestro software follows a part from the drawing in the office, through the screen on the machine, to the phone in your pocket. It's what turns a good machine into a connected workshop, and it matters most on a CNC.

The whole path of a part

Five stages, one system

SCM presents its software as five stages, from preparing the job to servicing the machine. Choose a stage.

Two people at computers with the Maestro lab software open

01 · Preparation

A drawing becomes a program

In the office, Maestro lab turns a drawing into a CNC program. Draw the part or import a DXF, and the software recognises the holes, proposes the machining and calculates the cycle time, before the machine starts.

  • Maestro lab CAD/CAM for SCM machining centres
  • Maestro nesting Parts laid out on the board, free shapes too
  • Maestro pattern and optiwise Cutting lists for panel saws
  • Maestro pro view A 3D simulation of your machine in the office

02 · Planning

Who does what, and when

For larger plants SCM, together with Tecnest from SCM Group, offers WinMES: production planning, batch tracking and quality control, connected to the machines and to business software.

  • WinMES Production planning and tracking
  • Open interfaces OPC-UA and OpenAPI to your ERP

03 · Production

The same screen on every machine

The machine runs Maestro active, on SCM's eye-M console with a 24-inch touch screen. SCM builds it to look and work the same across its technologies, so an operator who knows one machine soon knows the next.

  • Maestro active One interface for SCM machines
  • eye-M console A 24-inch touch screen
  • Maestro power TMS Prepares the tools the programs will call for

04 · Monitoring

The machine on your phone

A connected machine reports how it's working: running or not, how busy, which alarms came up. You see it on a computer or in the app, and the maintenance planner reminds the team what's due and when.

  • IoT Solution The machine's status and output live
  • Maintenance planner Tasks and dates for the team
  • Notifications Alarms arrive at once
  • Reports By shift, operator and program

05 · Service

Help before the machine stops

For connected machines, SCM's Control Room (technicians helped by artificial intelligence) watches the data and calls when it sees a sign of trouble. Remote support is included in the IoT licence.

  • SCM Control Room Watches connected machines
  • Remote support The technician sees what the operator sees
  • Service contracts Planned visits through the year
  • myPortal Tickets, parts and documents

CNC, step by step

From drawing to finished part

This is what the work looks like on an SCM CNC machining centre with Maestro.

The software you already use

Working in Corpus? Carry on.

Many furniture makers in the region design in Corpus or a similar program. These programs have an output for SCM machines, so nothing gets drawn twice.

The link needs setting up once, to your machine's tools and work table, and after that programs reach the machine with no rework. What your program needs, we'll check together.

  • Corpus: a post-processor for SCM CNC machines
  • DXF drawings straight into Maestro lab
  • PolyBoard, TopSolid, imos and others: an output for SCM
  • Old Xilog programs (.xxl), which Maestro still reads

IoT Solution

The connected machine

A small device in the machine's electrical cabinet, cabled to the workshop network, sends data to SCM's platform. You see how the machine is doing, and SCM's technicians can help remotely.

The service comes with a one- to five-year licence and exists for selected SCM machines; some older ones can be connected later. What applies to your machine, we check by model.

  • 5,000+ SCM machines connected, says SCM
  • 75% of support requests SCM solves remotely
  • 1–⁠5 years of licence
  • Web + app on a computer, Android and iOS

By kind of machine

Maestro across the range

Most SCM machines have a matching part of Maestro. Exactly what comes with which model, we set out in the quote.

Questions about Maestro

The software on the machine itself is part of the machine. Office programs, add-on modules and the IoT licence depend on the model and the offer, and the quote states exactly what's included.

Yes. Corpus and other furniture programs have an output for SCM CNC machines. The link needs setting up once, to your machine's tools and work table.

Not to work. For IoT Solution and remote support it's cabled to the workshop network, with the ports SCM specifies left open.

Xilog programs (.xxl) open in Maestro. Whether an old machine can be upgraded or connected depends on its model and year. Send us a photo of its rating plate.

The basics are learned in training at the machine, on the jobs you normally do. SCM also has short video lessons for Maestro lab and courses at its training centre.
