Close the gap between the plan and the result

Between the production plan and the financial result, your teams make the decisions that shape performance. When machine activity and operating knowledge are scattered across systems and shifts, it can be hard to see which change will make the biggest difference. Guidewheel brings that context together so your team can act while there is still time to improve the result.

How It Works

Connect your machines. Guide action. Apply what works.

Get real-time visibility

Bring machine signals and the context your team adds into a shared view across shifts and sites. See where time is being lost and which operating question needs attention.

Scale and optimize

Apply a successful change across more machines and plants. A shared operating record helps leaders compare capacity and make informed capital, staffing, and production decisions.

Connect the sensors

Sensors connect to capture machine activity, creating a starting point for live run, idle, and down data without making a PLC integration the first step. Our team helps confirm the measurements your operation needs.

Empower teams to take action

Our AI-powered platform and team help you identify the next high-value action. Guidewheel experts work alongside your people to find early opportunities, put the tools into daily routines, and review what changed.
