GAGETALKER CIMWORKS ALTERNATIVES

[Judge]

Hello,
In our Machine Shop we have 22 CNC machines (20 with FANUC controllers), connected to the main server via 11 standalone PC's. We are currently using an old version of Cimworks to download CNC programs, Drawings, Setup diagrams, Tooling sheets etc. from a main server to Controllers via PC. I would like to upgrade to incorporate machine monitoring (e.g. Downtime, Setup time, uptime etc.)I have tried to contact Cimworks (now part of GE Fanuc) to investigate upgrading our system, but they don't reply. So, I now want to find out what other software is available.
Any suggestions?

I have cimworks as well and it is at the end of its lifecycle, no support. I have been looking in to predetor as it would appear to be the 500 lb gorilla in the tree and also machinists can upload/download directly from thier machines without the use of a computor. The 500 lb gorilla part means it is used the most of all the dnc softwares and this usually means it will live a longer time than the others.
