CIMCO Software has announced the release of CIMCO Software 2026, marking another year of continuous innovation, improvements and expanded capabilities across the company’s product suite. The latest release places a stronger emphasis on enterprise management, security and system integration, reflecting the growing need for robust and connected manufacturing software environments.
With this first release of the 2026 version, CIMCO has introduced several enterprise-focused enhancements aimed at strengthening security, simplifying system management and improving interoperability across different platforms and tools. One of the key updates includes encrypted communication between clients and servers, which is now enabled by default to enhance security across the entire system.
The new version also introduces a REST API that enables seamless integration with third-party management and automation tools, allowing manufacturers to better connect CIMCO solutions with their existing digital infrastructure. In addition, the NC-Base Client now supports office document previews, enabling users to view Word, Excel and PowerPoint files directly within the application without opening external programs, thereby improving workflow efficiency.
