See the drift before it becomes a defect.
Early warning on tool wear and process drift, tracked against spec limits. Downtime and its causes explained, OEE, and alerts when a machine stops. Maintenance when it's actually needed, not by the calendar and not after the scrap.
One view of every machine, and what it is doing to your parts.
Tool wear and drift early warning
Tool wear and process drift are tracked against spec limits, with a warning raised while there is still time to plan.
Downtime and its causes explained
Every stop is timed and attributed, including stops caused by inspection interlocks, so downtime has a reason attached.
Machines and parameters monitored
Running, idle and stopped states, cycle counts and process parameters per machine, from read-only taps.
OEE
Availability, performance and quality per machine and line, from the same data, without manual tallies.
Alerts when a machine stops
The right people are told when a machine stops or a parameter enters the warning band, not at the end of the shift.
Read-only data in. A short list of what needs attention out.
- 01
Connect read-only
Machine states, process parameters and inspection results are collected through read-only taps. Nothing is replaced.
- 02
Track against limits
Each parameter is tracked against its versioned spec limit, with an early-warning band below the limit.
- 03
Tell the right people
Alerts when a machine stops or a parameter drifts, and a daily summary every morning.
| Machine | OEE | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Press 01Running | 81% | — |
| Press 02Running | 74% | Die 07 in early-warning band |
| Press 03Stopped 41 min | 62% | Inspection interlock, 6 events |

Found in the data, on a real line.
At a Fortune 500 connector manufacturer, with no new sensors.
Weeks of warning on die wear
On a stamping line, die wear trended toward the spec limit with weeks of warning, from inspection data alone.
Wear groups found in the data
Odd and even die contacts were separated into distinct wear groups, with one set wearing about 15% faster, from inspection data alone.
Interlock downtime explained
Downtime caused by inspection interlocks was measured and explained, machine by machine.
Weld process monitoring for anomalies in current and machine parameters.

We will tell you honestly whether it can be imaged and inspected reliably, what a pilot would look like on your line, and what we would measure.
