Factory Performance Analysis and Continuous Improvement data capture

Factory performance analysis systems are evolving fast. Most of our products can provide data for archiving in a cloud-based database, which can be shared with you on displays, smartphones, etc.




This is otherwise known as IIoT - the Industrial Internet of Things.

You can access this data from wherever you are, and analyse KPI trends such as OEE, downtime, maintenance management schedules etc. which are important to your process.

You don't need to install any special software to view the reports, just a web browser, using your personalised SaaS central application, which we manage for you. We automatically apply any updates you may need, which become instantly available on all your team's PCs and phones, without you or them having to do a thing.

All the analysis packages we offer are customised for you, so that your reports focus on the most important data automatically, such as OEE, reasons for down time, Takt time, quality, scrappage ratio etc.


Reports can be presented in any form you prefer, from line graphs, pie charts, gantt charts, pareto charts, dials, .csv files etc.

We are here to help you to develop your Continuous Improvement system, we have many years of experience helping companies like yours to automatically capture, analyse and share real-time performance data and graphs.

Real time stoppage analysis, giving location, reason, time, duration, etc. Data can be collected via pushbuttons, contact closures, iPad etc, with data saved to a cloud-based server so that you can see the real time status of your plant from anywhere in the world.

We are specialists in the design of secure IIoT reporting, display and analysis applications, using the latest best practises to ensure your data remains available to you only.

Just had another look at the final changes – WOW absolutely awesome – beyond our wildest expectations.

OEE and KPI software for a vegetable processing factory

The OEE software touch screen provides a secure cloud-based interface for the processing team to select jobs, staffing levels and to start/stop jobs...



Various live reports are available to the team and management, helping them to keep on track with planned performance levels...



Large real-time text displays along the processing line help to keep everyone informed of how the day's production is progressing...

Mobile real-time production data collection systems

We can also produce mobile production analysis systems for applications such as concrete batching, waste collection systems, borehole drilling etc.

Here is an example of a system we produced for NewMix concrete.

One of our batch counting digital panel meter controllers, model INT4-C, can be seen on the panel, sealed to IP67. It transfers its data to an embedded computer making https secure posts to the cloud based database.

This the provides the management with a graphical display of dates, times and amounts of each delivery for each vehicle.

It could include loaction information as well, to show exactly where the offloads were made.



This system constantly relays the real time batching and deliveries made to customers, allowing the management team to keep an eye on a real-time audit of deliveries.

All data is stored to a cloud database and includes tamper detection, helping to ensure that the chances of theft from the lorries is minimised.

SMS and email messaging can form an important part of the system, so that appropriate engineers can be automatically alerted to a problem.



Ruggedised tablets are ideal in food processing environments, with buttons sized to be easy for gloved hands to operate.



Analysis can be easily broken into shifts and shifts can be set and altered intuitively with our user-friendly shift planner.

Line Logger module for event and count capture

Pulse inputs can be fed to our compact LineLogger, where they are timestamped, totalised, and passed on to be saved in a cloud-based SQL database.

The line logger is only 22.5mm wide and DIN rail mounts, with detachable screw terminals. The LineLogger forms the first part of the link between your production process and the database, accepting NPN, PNP, contact closures, 24V pulses etc from optical sensors, proximity sensors, limit switches, PLCs etc.

Factory Energy consumption analysis

Factory energy consumption analysis is another area where a cloud based system is ideal.

Our power monitoring units can post data to a cloud database, and you can access the reports from desktop, mobile phone, laptop etc.
