The digital readout (DRO) is a digital display screen, usually with an integrated keyboard and some digital representation. Its integrated computer reads signals generated by linear encoders or (more often) rotating encoders installed to track machine axes, using these measures to track and display the machine operator's work piece position (for example, milling machines), or tool position (lathes) , Mills, etc.) in space.

In machine store terminology, a complete digital readout system (consisting of a computer, pivot position encoders, and digital display) is referred to by the abbreviation DRO. Such a system is commonly installed on machinery in today's stores, particularly for metalworking - lathes, roller mills, milling machines, surface mills, boring mills, and other machine tools - to allow the operator to operate faster and with greater precision. The use of DROs is not limited to manually operated machines. CNC machines can usually be converted to manual operation, in which case a form of DRO is simulated on their control panel.

Electronica Mechatronics (I) Pvt. Ltd., known in the Indian machine tool market as EMS, was established in 1980 in Pune, India.

The company designs and manufactures encoders for precise control of position and movement. What started four decades ago as a branch of machine tool manufacturing has now become a global company providing global solutions in accurate measurement.
