Production that isn't measured can't be improved.
In many plants, how long a machine ran, when it stopped and what it produced is learned from handwritten records at the end of the shift. When data arrives late and incomplete, decisions rest on guesswork.
- Machine data isn't collected, or is recorded by hand
- The cause and duration of stoppages are unknown
- Machines of different brands and ages can't be watched on one screen
The whole chain, from sensor to screen.
Not an off-the-shelf package; a system shaped around your line and your goal.
Data collection
We design the sensors and electronic boards that read signals from the machine: microcontrollers, sensor systems and communication are our field.
Communication
Collected data is carried to the centre over a wired or wireless link that suits the site.
Monitoring and reporting
We develop the server infrastructure that receives the data and the web and mobile interfaces that make it readable.
Fits the machines you have
The aim is not to replace the machine but to make it smart. We build the solution on top of your existing equipment.
Project-specific development.
We don't sell an off-the-shelf product here; we define the need together and develop the solution around it.
We listen to the need
Together we clarify which data will be collected from which machine, how often and for whom.
We build a prototype
A small-scale installation on one chosen machine shows whether the data is really meaningful.
We roll it out
We carry the working solution to the rest of the line and keep monitoring and updating it after installation.

Industry 4.0
If your question isn't answered here, write to us and we'll look at your need together.
In most cases, no. Our approach is to add data-collecting electronics to the existing machine and make that data visible through software. Which data can be read depends on the machine; we determine that together in the discovery stage.
We don't sell a packaged product in this area; we develop the solution per project. Sensor and board design, firmware, server infrastructure and web interface are done by the same team.
Yes. We also take on electronic design, firmware, or web and mobile application development separately. See our outsourcing services page for details.
