CNC implementation and operations automation
Shaun Patrick Stewart converts hand-fabrication shops into fully CNC-machined, automated operations and turns job-management software into a system that runs the day on its own. A CMS-certified CNC programmer who also programs waterjet cutting, he has programmed CNC machines and run 2D CAD departments since his years at a Tampa countertop company doing about $11 million a year.
Getting more from the machines
- Brought non-operational CNC machines back into service.
- Implemented a fully machined process that lifted CNC output two to three times, with machines often running close to around the clock.
- Programmed CNCs daily and ran 2D CAD engineering while the process settled.
Making the software do the work
Moraware is basic job-tracking software out of the box. At a Florida fabrication company, Shaun turned it into a fully automated, paperless operating platform:
- It generated every employee’s daily work with no one in the office touching it.
- It removed manual tasks and the errors that came with them.
- The office handled about twice the job volume with fewer people.
Planning before cutting
- A pre-template material-nesting and ordering step, so material is bought against a real layout.
- Automated fabrication and installation scheduling built from actual capacity.
- Result: jobs consistently finished two to three days ahead of schedule.
FAQ
Are you a certified CNC programmer? Yes. Shaun is a CMS-certified CNC programmer and also programs waterjet cutting, alongside 2D CAD engineering.
Do we need new machines? Often not. The first step is getting existing machines reliable and fully scheduled. New equipment comes after the process can use it.
