What Is Predator RCM?
Predator RCM is a flexible robotic cell controller and scheduler designed for manufacturers seeking complete automation. It manages an entire cell of equipment—including CNC machines, robots, Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMMs), and part cleaners—from a central hub. The software enables automated manufacturing for varied lot sizes, allowing for true ‘lights out’ operation. The system's job scheduling and flexible material handling capabilities help users maximize machine productivity and reduce the labor required for machine tending, transforming a complex cell into a single, automated unit.

Predator RCM Features
This feature schedules the robot to automatically load and unload all manufacturing equipment within the cell, including CNC machines, CMMs, and part cleaners. This process maximizes the productivity of your machinery and reduces the reliance on human operators for repetitive tasks.
The system intelligently manages the flow of materials, supporting a wide range of pallets, tooling, and fixtures. It automates part changeover by handling different grippers and fixtures, making it an ideal solution for running small, medium, or large production lots.
The software's Job Manager acts as the central scheduling hub for the entire cell. This allows users to add, remove, prioritize, or place work on hold based on real-time changes in machining priorities, all from a single, centralized console.
Predator RCM replaces the need for traditional cell control, which often requires hundreds of hours of custom PLC and HMI programming. It utilizes native machine APIs to manage the cell, significantly reducing implementation time and complexity for new or existing automated lines.
