Production Monitoring Software:
Optimize Manufacturing with Real-Time Monitoring

Transform your manufacturing operations with real-time production monitoring. Our software gives you instant visibility into machine performance, operational efficiency, and production data across your entire factory floor. We capture real-time data from your equipment to track essential metrics, including Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE), machine utilization, downtime events, changeover times, and production output. See where you're losing production time to unplanned downtime, long changeovers, and late starts, and alert your team to issues so they can address them before they impact production. Our production monitoring software provides actionable insights, uniting your team around a single source of truth and increasing operational excellence across your factory floor.

Your Challenge: Visibility

Manufacturing teams need accurate production data to succeed, but many manufacturing monitoring systems still rely on manual data collection, making it hard to respond quickly to issues or optimize performance. Without real-time production monitoring, you can't identify bottlenecks, address problems promptly, or make informed decisions about improvements. Your team needs instant access to reliable production data to meet targets and drive efficiency.

 

Our Solution: A Real-Time Production Monitoring System

Our production monitoring software transforms how you track and optimize production performance. By collecting real-time data from your machines, we provide immediate insights into operational metrics, quality data, and production output. Your entire team gets the production data they need when they need it to drive continuous improvement across your operation.

 

How Our Production Monitoring Software Works

Clip on Our Sensors

Our non-invasive sensors clip on in minutes, not months. Start collecting machine data immediately without complex installation or disruption to operations.

Detect Your Machines’ Digital Heartbeats

Instantly capture the digital heartbeat of every machine in your facility, regardless of make, model, or age. This universal compatibility means you get comprehensive visibility across your entire operation without excluding legacy production equipment.

Get Visibility Across Your Operations

Give every team member, from VPs to operators, real-time performance data tailored to their role. Help everyone make informed decisions that improve production efficiency and productivity across all operational levels.

Prevent Issues

Our advanced AI-powered platform enhances manufacturing live monitoring by anticipating potential problems before they impact production. Keep your operations running smoothly by minimizing costly downtime and optimizing manufacturing processes.

 

Accurately Track and Minimize Unnecessary Downtime

Our manufacturing monitoring system automatically tracks downtime’s impact on performance. The Scoreboard enables your plant floor team to monitor uptime throughout their shift to take immediate action and stay on track. Leadership can track progress and identify improvement opportunities through detailed reports and trend analysis.

Monitor Machine Utilization

Are your machines running at their full potential? Machine monitoring lets you monitor utilization by hour, shift, day, or even month. These insights reveal untapped capacity on the shop floor, enabling you to do more with your existing resources.

 

Address the Root Causes of Issues with Ease

Add issue tags in just a few clicks from any device, or let our AI-powered Tag Assist suggest them. Our Pareto Analysis pinpoints exactly which machines, processes, and areas need improvement.

Energy usage analysis with real-time consumption graphs

Reduce energy costs

Lower energy consumption by tracking usage, identifying energy-intensive equipment, and managing peak demand. We help you spot and eliminate energy waste that isn't contributing to production.

Receive and Send Alerts in Real Time

Alert team members instantly when a machine goes down, becomes overloaded, or needs attention. Receive and respond to alerts via text, SMS, or WhatsApp from anywhere. Escalate alerts to relevant team members until the issue is resolved, with a full audit trail to help prevent future issues.

Track Cycles and Improve Performance

Automatically track cycle times and performance metrics in real-time against defined targets. Use these metrics to optimize production schedules, reduce variability, and drive consistent output across all production lines.

Monitor and Increase OEE

Track availability, performance, and quality metrics in real time for true OEE calculation. Our system identifies improvement opportunities across all OEE components to maximize equipment effectiveness, reduce bottlenecks, and unlock your factory’s full potential. 

Improve Customer Relationships

Strengthen supply chain partnerships through enhanced production visibility by providing transparent, real-time production data access where it’s needed. Keep your customers informed with accurate delivery estimates and proactively address potential delays before they impact deadlines.
