Machine data collection
See per line and shift where availability, performance and quality are lost, and reduce the biggest losses in a targeted way.
Solution
Smart factory: put your machine data to work
See in real time what is happening on your machines. We connect what is already there and start with one line rather than a large project.
What a smart factory means for a mid-sized manufacturer
In a smart factory, machines, lines and IT share data. Status, output and losses become visible without anyone writing them down by hand. In a machine park that has grown over the years, the goal is not a new factory but connecting the equipment you already run.
Connect existing machines
Modern controllers provide status and part counts, for example via OPC UA. We connect older machines through an edge device.
Data in one place
Instead of tally sheets and isolated tools, machine and production data come together, with the same definitions for every line.
Metrics you can act on
OEE per line and shift, downtime by cause. You see where losses arise and tackle them there.
Connected securely
Connecting machines opens up the production network. Securing it is therefore part of the work from day one, not an afterthought.
Offerings
Where you can start
Each offering solves one specific task on the line and begins with a proof of value.

Your question
Do you have a different problem on the line? In an intro call, we check whether and how we can help.
Approach
Start small, decide on data
One line, one question, success criteria agreed up front. Then you decide, based on the data, whether to continue.
Step 01
Understand
We analyze your production data together, find untapped potential and define the metrics we use to measure the added value.
Step 02
Implement
Within 4 weeks, we build a proof of value on one line that is ready for use and proves the benefit.
Step 03
Scale
The proof of value is established as a solution and rolled out to the production line or the entire plant.

Insights on Smart Factory
Frequently asked questions on Smart Factory
What is a smart factory?
A production operation in which machines, lines and IT systems share data, so that status, output and losses are visible without manual recording. The term IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things) is often used for the same idea.
Do we need new machines?
No. We connect your existing machines, modern ones through their controller and older ones through an edge device.
Where should we start?
With one line and one specific question, such as why OEE varies from shift to shift. In the proof of value, you see after four weeks whether it is worth expanding.
How does a smart factory relate to ERP and AI?
Machine data is the foundation. It can be connected to your ERP and later used for AI-driven analysis.
