Distributed verification across your whole shop — running on your own servers, not someone else's
Verifying one program on one workstation doesn’t scale. A shop releases many NC programs a day, across many machines, and if each one has to wait its turn on a single seat, the verification meant to enable production becomes the thing that gates it. Eureka Cloud solves that by turning the shop’s own network into a distributed simulation resource: pending simulations are sorted to available agents and run simultaneously, so a whole shift’s worth of programs can be proven overnight and be waiting — cleared or flagged — by morning.
But the first thing to say about Eureka Cloud is what its name might make you assume, and get wrong.
The "cloud" that isn't in the cloud
Despite the name, Eureka Cloud does not run on external, public cloud servers. The automatic simulation server is installed on your company’s own servers — it’s a private cloud, inside your network. Your NC programs, your part geometry, your fixtures, your machine configurations — none of it is uploaded anywhere or leaves your building. The “cloud” here refers to the distributed computing model (many machines sharing the work), not to hosting your data on someone else’s infrastructure.
For a lot of manufacturers, that distinction is the whole decision. In aerospace, defense, medical, and mold making, the NC program is the intellectual property — it encodes how a part is made — and sending it to a third-party cloud is often simply not allowed. Eureka Cloud gives you the throughput of distributed simulation with the data staying entirely on-premises, under your own IT and security controls. Scale and confidentiality, without a trade-off between them.
How it works
The workflow is deliberately simple, so it fits how a shop already runs:
- Export and forget. Any CAD/CAM operator exports a simulation job to a monitored shared folder on the network. That’s the whole action on their side.
- Automatic pickup. Eureka detects the new job, simulates it automatically, and returns the result — no one has to sit and run it.
- Every PC an agent. Idle PCs on the network act as simulation agents; pending jobs are distributed across them and run in parallel. The number of simulations running at once is limited only by the number of Eureka licenses available, so you scale throughput with the seats you already have.
- On schedule or on demand. Run the queue overnight, at set times, or on demand — so verification happens in the hours the machines and programmers aren’t waiting on it.
- Cleared or flagged. A program that simulates clean is cleared to run. A program with errors comes back with a report identifying the problem, and the flagged simulation can be opened and analyzed in Eureka Viewer on a Windows PC with a dedicated GPU.
- Tracked. Integration with Microsoft SQL Server lets you keep a record of what was simulated and what the outcome was — the audit trail a real validation process needs.
Customizable and automatable end to end
The shared folder is the simple way in, but it isn’t the only one. Eureka Cloud is highly customizable, and through APIs and scripting it integrates with other applications — a CRM, an MES or ERP, a job scheduler, or any third-party system — so simulation jobs can be submitted and results returned automatically, wired into how your business already routes work rather than bolted on as a separate manual step.
And it can automate more than the simulation itself. In a single hands-off pipeline, Eureka Cloud can chain:
- Post-processing — generating the NC program with the Eureka NC Coder module;
- Simulation — the real-ISO verification on a digital twin (collision, near-miss, part-vs-model, travel limits);
- Feedrate optimization — re-modulating the feed with the Eureka Chronos
So a job can travel from a CAM output — or an upstream trigger in another system — all the way to a posted, verified, and optimized NC program with no one driving each step. Post it, prove it, and speed it up, automatically, on your own servers.
Why it matters
Eureka Cloud is what turns “we verify the scary programs” into “nothing runs unverified,” at production scale:
- A verify-before-release gate that keeps up. Every posted program can pass through simulation before it reaches the floor, without a person running each one and without a queue of one. (See An Enterprise Workflow for NC Program Validation.)
- Lights-out, safely. A night’s worth of programs — the ones you’d run unattended — are all proven before the lights go off, rather than checked one at a time the next morning. (See Lights-Out on a Bar.)
- No new hardware, no bottleneck. It uses the PCs and licenses you already have, turning idle overnight compute into verification capacity.
- Consistency across the shop and across sites. The same verification standard applies to every program, whoever wrote it and wherever it runs.
And because each simulation is the same real-ISO verification Eureka G-Code performs on a single seat — collision, near-miss between cutting edge and equipment, holder-vs-blank, finished-part-vs-model, pre-holes for tapping, and travel limits, on a digital twin of the actual machine — the throughput doesn’t cost you depth. You get the full check, on every program, in parallel, on your own servers.
> Take a night’s queue of programs — everything you’d run tomorrow across a few machines — and let Eureka Cloud simulate them overnight on your own network. Arriving to a set of programs already cleared or flagged, proven on twins of your machines without a single file leaving the building, is what verification at production scale looks like.
FAQ
Is Eureka Cloud hosted on external/public cloud servers?
No. Despite the name, the automatic simulation server is installed on your company’s own servers — a private cloud inside your network. Your NC programs, geometry, fixtures, and machine configurations never leave your premises; “cloud” refers to the distributed computing model, not to third-party hosting.
Does my NC program or IP leave my network?
No. Everything stays on-premises, under your own IT and security controls — which is exactly why it suits aerospace, defense, medical, and mold makers, for whom the NC program is protected intellectual property.
How does Eureka Cloud speed up verification?
It distributes pending simulations across the idle PCs on your network and runs them in parallel, so many programs are verified at once instead of one at a time on a single seat. The number running simultaneously is limited only by the number of Eureka licenses you have.
How do operators submit a job?
They export the simulation job to a monitored shared folder. Eureka detects the new data automatically, simulates it, and returns the result — no manual step to run each simulation.
What happens when a program has an error?
It comes back with a report identifying the problem, and the flagged simulation can be opened and analyzed in Eureka Viewer on a Windows PC with a dedicated GPU. Clean programs are cleared to run.
Can Eureka Cloud integrate with our CRM or other systems?
Yes. It’s highly customizable and exposes APIs and scripting, so it can integrate with a CRM, an MES/ERP, a scheduler, or other third-party applications to receive simulation jobs and return results automatically — beyond the simple shared-folder submission.
Can it automate post-processing and optimization too, not just simulation?
Yes. In one automated pipeline it can chain post-processing (via the Eureka NC Coder module), simulation/verification, and feedrate optimization (via the Eureka Chronos module) — taking a job from CAM output to a posted, verified, and optimized NC program hands-off.
Is the verification as thorough as running it on a single seat?
Yes. Each job is the same real-ISO simulation on a digital twin of the actual machine — collision, near-miss, holder-vs-blank, part-vs-model, pre-holes for tapping, and travel limits — just run in parallel across the network.
