The management of computerized numerical control (CNC) machines in production processes often involves complexities associated with programming efficiency and precision. This study investigates whether the Sinumerik system can enhance the productivity and flexibility of CNC machine programming. The integration of the Sinumerik system into CNC machines will lead to increased programming efficiency and reduced errors, thereby improving overall productivity in manufacturing operations. The study utilized a comparative analysis approach, examining the programming capabilities of CNC machines with and without the Sinumerik system. This involved the use of the Sinutrain Operate training program and the ShopTurn software environment to simulate and analyse different programming methods and their impacts on machine tool performance. Results indicate that the Sinumerik system significantly enhances the programming flexibility and efficiency of CNC machines. Machines equipped with Sinumerik demonstrated a higher precision in component production with considerably reduced programming times. The use of advanced managerial systems and interfaces provided by Sinumerik allowed for a streamlined programming process and minimized human error, confirming the system's effectiveness in improving manufacturing productivity.
