Whether you operate high-speed CNCs or custom Special Purpose Machines (SPM), money is made and lost on the shop floor. Machine monitoring automation is the foundation of Industry 5.0 efficiency.

Installation Across Diverse Assets

The beauty of modern data is its versatility. You can unify your entire plant under one dashboard regardless of the machine type:

precision_manufacturing

CNC & Metalworking

Direct PLC & VFD integration for cycle times, tool life, and spindle load monitoring.

settings_input_component

SPM & Custom Lines

IoT sensor retrofitting for vibration, temperature, and specific process KPIs unique to your custom machinery.

factory

Injection Molding & Heavy Assets

Power monitoring and pressure sensing to bridge Industry 4.0 data with 5.0 human insight.

handyman

Manual & Semi-Automated Machines

Non-intrusive status light monitoring and operator input stations for complete floor visibility.

Technical Workflow: Seamless and Painless

Setting up machine monitoring automation shouldn't halt production. By utilizing Edge Gateways, we process high-frequency data locally to reduce latency without disrupting the machine's primary logic.

Zero Production Downtime

Our edge gateways connect passively to your machine's existing PLC or HMI using protocols like MTConnect, OPC-UA, or Modbus/TCP. No rewiring, no shutdowns—just plug and play.

Integration Methods

wifi

Direct PLC Integration

Connect via Ethernet/IP, Profibus, or Modbus/TCP for real-time data extraction.

sensors

Sensor Retrofit

Add non-invasive sensors for machines without digital interfaces.

bolt

Power Monitoring

Measure energy consumption to identify idle states and optimize usage.

hub

MTConnect & OPC-UA

Industry-standard protocols for seamless data exchange across diverse equipment.
