Looking into the most effective way to handle having a team of people programming a bunch of machines. Does anyone care to share there DNC setup? Do you do program revision control? Looking for...

We received a fanuc tape reader today and now our machine is looking good to get back to production.

We are using the original BMU setup.

Our Fanuc 9 CNC OS is 3 tapes. 2 we loaded digitally...

I will also mention our inventory of memory below, all used:
