Do you need to shut the machine down to install this?

In most cases, no — these are external sensors that don't require modifying the machine itself.

Can you pull data from a machine with no electrical signal at all?

If the machine has no electrical or mechanical signal to tap into, our on-site assessment team will tell you directly that it can't be done.

Internal test

A 20-year-old machine has no data port — you don't know how it's running until it breaks
No data on which machine breaks down most often
Maintenance runs on a fixed schedule instead of the machine's actual condition
Machine operating data is scattered and never centralized

Survey the machine on-site
We check what electrical or mechanical signal the machine already gives off that data can be pulled from — status lights, motor sound, or vibration.
Attach add-on sensors
External sensors that don't require modifying the machine itself, such as current clamps or magnetic vibration sensors.
Turn it into readable data
Data is sent via Modbus or MQTT into a central system, showing machine status in real time.

Legacy integration

Data collected is sent into your existing MES via MQTT or API, combining it with production data you already have — no separate screen to check.

A machine with no electrical or mechanical signal to detect at all can't be read — there needs to be at least one physical connection point.
We don't yet have accuracy figures measured from a real customer project, since this is still in internal testing — we'll update this once pilot data is available.
It doesn't control the machine directly — it only reads and reports data. Control still runs through your existing systems.
