CNC & precision machining
Know what every CNC actually ran — and what each job truly cost.
Live spindle utilisation, every idle minute caught, and true cost & profit per job and per customer — on every machine, old or new. No operator logbook. We set it up for you.
Any CNC — any age, any make · live from anywhere · no machine tap
The problem
Your spindles bill by the hour — but you can't see the hours.
A job shop lives and dies on machine-hours, yet most run on memory and a quote built from a gut-feel rate. Half your spindle time can quietly disappear into setups, waiting and idle — and you only find out when the job loses money.
How many hours did each machine actually cut last shift — versus sit idle?
What did this job truly cost — material, the machine-hours it really took, labour and overhead?
Which customers and part numbers actually make money — and which you should reprice?
Is your real spindle utilisation 70% like you think — or closer to 30%?
Every machine reports itself
Put it on each machine. Then the shop reports itself.
Fitted in minutes — nothing wired in, no machine tapped, no licence. Blitz reads when each CNC is genuinely cutting versus idle, and turns those machine-hours into true cost and profit per job and per customer.
That's Blitz, the floor platform — it captures your material bills at the gate too, and Jarvis flags a machine the moment it sits idle.
- Live spindle utilisation — cutting vs idle, per machine
- Every stop and idle minute caught and timed automatically
- True cost & profit per job and per customer
- A different program every job — so exact part counts are confirmed per job, never guessed
Blitz Plus · Jarvis
Be told when a machine sits idle — not at the weekly review.
On Blitz Plus, the agent ACTS and SPEAKS. When a machine goes quiet mid-shift, Jarvis messages you. Ask it which customer was most profitable this month, and it answers in plain language — and briefs you each morning.
See what Jarvis can doThe number that decides your quote
True cost per job — by part, by machine, by customer.
Material, energy, labour and overhead — added up against the machine-hours each job actually used, not a flat shop rate. Quote from your real number, and see which customers quietly cost you money.
How true cost worksFigures shown for illustration — Blitz builds yours from your own jobs. Run-time and energy are measured at the machine; part counts are confirmed per job, never guessed.
Questions machine-shop owners ask first.
What does Blitz measure on a CNC machine?
Live spindle utilisation — when each machine is genuinely cutting versus idle or stopped — downtime and its length, and real energy per machine. It works on any control, old or new, with nothing wired in. From those machine-hours Blitz builds true cost and profit per job and per customer.
Does it count my parts?
We measure run-time and true cost — not a guess at piece count. A job shop runs a different program for every part, so exact quantities are confirmed per job by your operator or your existing count. What you get automatically and reliably is utilisation, downtime, energy and true cost per job. We'd rather be honest than over-promise a number we can't stand behind.
Will it work on my older or imported machines?
Yes. Blitz stays outside the machine, so it works on the oldest controller and the cheapest imported one exactly like the newest — no machine tap, no licence, no IT project. If a machine runs, Blitz can give it a voice.
How does it tell me which jobs make money?
Blitz puts material, energy, labour and overhead against the machine-hours each job actually used, and gives you true cost and margin per job and per customer — so you quote from real numbers and stop running work that quietly loses money. See how true cost works.
