Case study

Machine Monitor

Every machine’s state, live, without touching its controller.

Built for
Factory operators and floor managers
Industry
Manufacturing
Project Type
Machine monitoring system

Description

Machine Monitor gives a machining workshop a live view of its floor. Sensor nodes report on their own whether each machine is running, idle or off, so nobody has to walk the floor or fill in logs to know what is happening.

It works with the machines already there, without replacing their controllers, and keeps capturing data when the connection drops. The outcome it is built for: downtime seen as it happens, not at the end of the shift.

Deployment options

Available as a subscription or as a deployment on your infrastructure, subject to the agreed scope. Forward Deploy retains the software’s intellectual property; usage rights, fees, support and running costs are agreed in writing. Read the terms

Features

  1. Live machine states

    Distinguish running, idle and off at a glance.

  2. Existing equipment

    Monitor older machines without a controller retrofit.

  3. Sensor-based capture

    Use a sensor node to make machine activity visible.

  4. Offline-first operation

    Support the connectivity constraints of a working floor.
