Quote by cut length, run by machine hour and report by measured profile.
Drawings, quotations, machine hours, cut programmes, brass and coated wire spools, start-hole drilling, profile inspection and deliveries sit in one record for a wire EDM shop. Each job holds its cut length, skim passes, break history and measured results from enquiry to delivery note. The estimator, the operators and the inspection bench read the same job card, and each machine board shows what is planned and what is running.
- Wire machines, wire diameters and material rates entered the way you price them
- Stored programmes, part numbers and open jobs migrated from the controllers and job envelopes
- Edits to cut-time tables and job steps handled by GullySystem staff on request
Wire EDM Shop Management Software, configured by GullySystem, handles enquiries, quotations, machine booking and inspection for wire-cut work. Each job holds its cut length, skim passes, wire spool, break history, programme and measured profile. Start-hole drilling and outside hardening are routed ahead of the machine. Delivery notes follow the parts that passed.
What goes wrong before the software.
How the work flows through it, step by step.
- 1
Enquiry and drawing
A toolroom or factory sends a drawing and quantity, and the estimator notes material, plate thickness, cut length and tolerance, then records the drawing revision. The part number is created once.
- 2
Quotation
Cut length, skim passes, wire use, setup and any outside step add up to the price, and when the buyer accepts or revises, every version stays against the part.
- 3
Preparation
The plate is received, a start hole is drilled and the fixture is picked, and any hardening or stress relief is done at the vendor before loading. Nothing reaches the machine unprepared.
- 4
Cutting
The job is booked on a machine. The operator loads the programme, threads the wire, runs the rough cut and skim passes, and logs any break with its cause.
- 5
Measurement
The profile is measured against the tolerance on the drawing, readings are entered and the report is signed. Slugs are kept or scrapped.
- 6
Delivery and invoice
The delivery note lists parts and revision, and the invoice follows in the customer’s currency under your tax rules, with receipts posted against it.
What is inside.
Every module can be switched on, left out or changed to match how your team already works.
The business modules it is built from.
Each one is also available on its own, or inside a system built for you.
- Quote & Proposal Management
Quotes are built from cut length, thickness, skim passes and wire cost, then compared with the actual cut hours after the job closes.
- Production Planning
Jobs are booked on each wire machine by its capacity, with planned hours, running hours and unattended night runs on one board.
- Product Management
Part numbers hold their programme, offsets and skim settings, so a repeat order opens with the cut that previously held tolerance.
- Stock Tracking and Alerts
Spool weight is deducted per job and each break is logged with its reason, so wire reorder levels follow real consumption.
- Work Order Management
A plate moves from drilling and fixturing to the wire machine as steps on one work order, and blocked jobs show before their slot.
- Quality Control
Coordinate readings are entered against the drawing tolerance, and the signed profile report stays with the job and the part.
- Job Work Management
Plates sent for hardening or surface grinding leave on a delivery note, and the return is booked with count and condition.
- Invoice Management
Delivery notes list the parts that passed, and invoices follow in the customer’s currency with receipts posted as they arrive.
How we would put it in.
Setup, data migration, integrations and anything built on top.
One system, each person sees their part.
For owners
See hours sold against hours available on each machine, open quotes, wire cost per job and what each toolroom customer owes.
For estimators
Price from cut length and skim passes, compare earlier quotes with the actual hours, and revise without losing the first figure.
For wire machine operators
Open the drawing and last programme, log starts, finishes and breaks, and see the next plate lined up for your machine.
For the inspection bench
Enter measured profile values, sign the report and release the parts for dispatch. Rejected profiles go back with a reason.
For dispatch and accounts
Pack against the delivery note, raise the invoice and track balances by customer.
The numbers the owner asks for.
- Machine hours planned, run and idle, by wire machine
- Quoted cut time against actual cut time, by alloy and plate thickness
- Wire breaks by alloy, thickness and spool
- Brass wire consumed and its cost, by job
- Plates blocked on start holes or fixtures
- Profile reports issued by customer and part
- Hardening and grinding lots with days away from the shop
Who this is built for.
- Toolrooms that cut their own punches, dies and inserts
- Job shops that sell wire EDM cutting time to other factories
- Shops cutting carbide, hardened D2 and exotic alloys
- Precision part makers that finish components on wire machines after milling
- Mould and die makers that need tight profile work on cavity inserts and ejector slots
When it is not the right choice.
- A shop with one wire machine and a handful of dies each month can keep schedules on a whiteboard.
- Sinker EDM, laser cutting and CNC milling shops will find their own products closer.

Questions owners ask before a demo.
Will it tell us what a cut should cost?
Partly. It builds the price from the rates you enter for cut length, wire and setup, but it does not decide margins for you. Actual hours after the job show whether the estimate was right.
Can an operator log a wire break in a few seconds?
Yes. The operator picks the job, taps a break and chooses a reason from your list, such as wire fatigue or poor flushing. The spool number comes from the job.
Does it handle unattended night runs?
It books them as planned machine hours and shows which jobs are queued overnight. The machine’s own alarms stay with the machine controller.
Can we keep slugs and offcuts of expensive material?
Yes. Each slug is recorded with alloy and weight. It either returns to the customer or joins your tooling stock.
How do repeat orders find the old programme?
The programme is stored against the part number and revision. When the job opens for a repeat, the settings of the last good run appear first.
Can profile readings from the measuring machine be imported?
Entry by keyboard is standard. A file import from a measuring machine depends on its output format and is scoped with you during implementation.
What about hardening before the cut?
A delivery note sends the plate to the heat treater. When it returns, the count and condition are logged, and the wire machine slot opens.
Can we see which customers are slow to pay?
Yes. Balances are listed by customer with the oldest invoice first, and a reminder can go from the same screen.
How do we start, and what does it cost?
A trial is set up around three of your real parts, and the quote follows from machine count and users. The proposal states the figure and the scope.
