Siemens Energy & Automation’s Machine Tool Business wants shops to have fun as they find out how much more productive they can really be and how CNC factors into their success.

When jobshop owners and operators visit www.crackthecode.com, they enter an unusually productive jobshop office scene — after hours. Then using a “flashlight” cursor, they explore the darkened room and are challenged to crack the code to the office vault, whereupon they can become site members with access to deeper levels of information and a variety of cool stuff at no cost.
