Real-time machine monitoring
Track machine performance, monitor utilisation, and get live performance insights
Using a quick-to-install Current Meter sensor, MES: Machine Monitoring provides real-time tracking of machine status and performance, giving manufacturers instant access to critical data for timely interventions and efficiency improvements.
Historical data analysis supports predictive maintenance, reducing unplanned downtime and optimising productivity. With instant alerts and downtime reason codes, the system enables rapid issue resolution for seamless machine management and maintenance.
FIND OUT MORE1-minute install
The Machine Monitoring sensor is a small lightweight IoT device that connects to any electrical equipment, ranging from conventional CNC machines to fabrication equipment.
The sensor connects via a simple CT Clamp attached to the live power cable to capture the energy draw. The energy draw is then recorded and transmitted wirelessly & securely to the Fitfactory Cloud where it is analysed to determine the operational status of the equipment (running/stopped).
