Shopfloor control with ARAC5
KRANENDONK’s ARAC5 software controls your automated production on the shop floor. It generates machine programs based on product parameters and intelligently routes tasks to the right stations. Whether you weld, cut or assemble — ARAC5 keeps your production moving with minimal operator intervention.
Expert in Non-Repetitive Production
Modular Solutions that Scale with you
Readily from CAD to Production in minutes
KRANENDONK’s ARAC5 software controls your automated production on the shop floor. It generates machine programs based on product parameters and intelligently routes tasks to the right stations. Whether you weld, cut or assemble — ARAC5 keeps your production moving with minimal operator intervention.
Built for smart coordination 🧠
Dynamic task coordination
ARAC5 organizes your production in real time. It assigns tasks to the right machines, in the right order, based on the current state of your factory. No manual planning, just smart routing logic that adapts as production flows.
Connects every station
From welding and cutting robots to milling machines, ARAC5 links every production cell into one seamless workflow. The system ensures that each cell receives exactly the input for production, based on geometry data, welding parameters or nesting files.
Process logic built in
ARAC5 contains your production logic. It knows which tasks can run in parallel and how material should flow between cells. It prevents production conflicts and ensures that no machine waits for input or causes a bottleneck.
Where flow meets control
Stop wasting time on paper-based planning, USB transfers, or scattered updates. ARAC5 is automated shop floor control software that gives you real-time visibility and full control over production — so your team always knows what’s running, what’s next, and where to act.
Business benefits at a glance:
-
Less manual work
Tasks are automated and assigned digitally — so operators can focus on execution, not coordination. -
No file mixups
ARAC5 delivers the right program to the right machine, every time. -
Clear task control
Planners and operators always know what’s running, what’s next, and where attention is needed. -
Faster response to change
When something shifts — an order, a delay, a machine — ARAC5 adjusts instantly to keep an optimized production flow intact.

See the bigger picture
While ARAC5 keeps your machines and workflow in sync, the Management Dashboard takes it a step further. It visualizes production performance on the shop floor — from machine uptime to shift performance —to generate clear, strategic insights.
Whether you’re identifying inefficiencies, comparing day-to-day output, or improving planning, the dashboard gives you the information to act fast and lead with confidence.
