Published on 04 November 2024

Founded in 2017 in Haute-Savoie, France, ELLISTAT develops cutting-edge software solutions that deliver operational excellence throughout the entire production cycle. Its spirit of innovation earned the company the Global Industrie 2019 Innovation Award in the start-up category. Since its founding, ELLISTAT has experienced sustained growth and steadily expanded its footprint across European markets.Led by visionary engineer Davy Pillet, the company brings together a team of around twenty professionals driven by core values: people, sustainability, and a culture of achievement. True to this DNA, ELLISTAT champions a project-based organizational model free from managerial hierarchy—empowering every team member with autonomy, responsibility, and meaningful work.Its flagship product, APC (Automated Process Control), represents the culmination of ten years of research and development initiated by Maurice Pillet, father of the founder, in collaboration with the SYMME laboratory at the University of Savoie Mont-Blanc.

Machine Tool Automation Becomes a Reality with Ellicam and TopSolid

 

The Ellicam module delivers a seamless, continuous connection between TopSolid’Cam and machine tools. Thanks to this native digital synchronization, machining setups and toolpaths are generated automatically— eliminating manual intervention entirely.

The result: a dramatic reduction in setup time. Preparing the first part drops from 3 hours to just 15 minutes, achieving nearly 85% time savings while ensuring optimal dimensional accuracy from the very first cut.

Acting as an intelligent bridge between TopSolid’Cam and the Automated Process Control (APC) module, Ellicam analyzes 3D models and machining toolpaths in real time to automatically configure tools. All critical data are captured: dimensions, geometries, surface finishes, machining codes, and more.

Automation is further enhanced by Machine Learning algorithms that detect dimensional deviations on the first part and send real-time compensation adjustments directly to the CNC—via DNC protocol or API—enabling fully automated, optimized production.
