To reduce confusion, here's some technical info on what CAMback easy and other products of the CAMback product line do. I hope it doesn't sound too much like advertising, I tried to stick to the plain facts:
"CAMback easy" is intended for transfering NC files on a serial line between a PC and a CNC machine control (DNC). The files are not simply stored somewhere or all over on the computer's hard disk, but organized according to the machine they are intended for and according to the type of file they are (user-definable categories). The software introduces a certain structure, that ensures that all the people involved in programming and production use a standardized organization structure for NC data, store the data all in one place and easily keep track of versions and purposes of different files.
"CAMback standard" is similar to "easy", but while "easy" is intended for rather small businesses or service personel, where data is stored on, say a portable laptop computer, that one hooks up to only a few machines, "standard" supports companies with existing serial cabling running from PCs to CNC machines. It's sort of like the "serial infrastructure" version of "CAMback easy".
"CAMback pro / enterprise" is a totally different approach which includes a database-driven client-server architecture.
CAMback Clients and CNC machines are connected to CAMback Servers via Ethernet (no more serial lines).
Users can load files onto their CNC directly by requesting them from a server via their CNC control.
CAMback Clients are used for organizing NC programs, other NC data and all sorts of documents and files (CAD drawings, images, instructions, ...) in a hierarchy of product, routing, operation and each file can be associated with machines and have certain access rights for users and user groups.
All the data relevant for production is mantained in one enterprise-wide system: a Production Data Managament (PDM) system.
Again, this PDM system integrates with common Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems and Production Planning Systems (PPS), so information is shared between enterprise-wide systems, to provide people in construction, programming and production with the latest programs, documents and information.
The reason why this mixture of DNC and PDM is called CAM(back) is because all of this is manufacturing aided by computer systems = Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM) in the general sense of the word! Ynneb, thanks for asking all these questions. Please post any upcoming questions in this support forum or let the folks at http://www.evo-solutions.com know, when information is incomplete or too confusing to understand!
