Industrial Data Collectors & Gateways

Shop-Floor Data Collector

Count, time and classify every cycle at the machine, then push it to your MES or dashboard.

Why this product

What it gives you

Reason codes operators actually use

A simple operator panel with your own downtime reasons, so the data is trustworthy rather than filled in at end of shift.

Works on old machines

Cycle signals can come from a PLC output, a current sensor or a retrofit sensor — no machine retrofit required.

Usable output

OEE, availability and reject reasons are produced directly, and raw events remain available for your own reporting.

What it does

The collector senses cycle completion, records the interval, and prompts the operator for a reason when the machine stops. Events are timestamped locally and uploaded, with buffering if the network is unavailable.

Because the counting logic is configuration rather than a development task, adding a machine is a deployment step you can repeat yourself.

Applications

  • OEE measurement on machines without built-in monitoring
  • Production counting and shift reporting
  • Downtime reason analysis and Pareto studies
  • Feeding a plant dashboard with real cycle data

What we hand over

  • Collector node with operator panel
  • Sensor kit for one machine type
  • Reason code set built with your supervisors
  • Integration handover to your MES or dashboard
