A plug-in sensor for any machine

The data behind real-time OEE starts here: a small, rugged sensor that mounts on the machine and counts output directly. With Wi-Fi or built-in cellular it stays completely off your machine network - non-invasive by design, live in about a minute.

The device

Built for the factory floor

One device, identical on every line. It counts what the machine makes, buffers through network blips, and sends a clean stream of data to the platform - over Wi-Fi or its own cellular link, never your machine network - where it becomes live OEE, stop detection and the losses worth fixing.

The sealed, floor-ready enclosure - the M8 sensor and power connectors are its only penetrations. Power on, claim it, and the line is counting.

Wi-Fi or cellular

Runs on Wi-Fi, or on its own built-in cellular - so it never has to touch your machine or factory network. Drop it on a line with no IT change and no security review.

All standard sensors

Works with the standard industrial sensors you already use - inductive, photoelectric, reed and dry-contact. If it can signal a cycle, the device can count it.

Setup in one minute

Power on, connect to the device, pick your network and enter the claim code. That's it - the line is reporting in about a minute.

Fits any machine

Old or new, fast or slow - the sensor counts output directly. No PLC, no OPC-UA, no MTConnect, no control-system project - it reads even legacy machines that other tools can't see.

Never loses a count

If the connection drops, the device keeps counting and backfills the moment it's back online - so your data has no holes.

Accurate at speed

Captures fast cycles cleanly, so performance loss and minor stops show up in the data instead of hiding in the average.

Industrial-grade input

A galvanically isolated input on a standard M8 connector means no ground loops and no risk to your sensors - plug straight into the prox or photo-eye you already run.

Status at a glance

A bright indicator shows power, network and counting across the floor, so anyone can confirm a device is healthy without opening an app. Reset with a magnet - no buttons to wear out.

Secure and up to date

Data is encrypted in transit and the device updates over the air - so the whole fleet improves without anyone visiting the floor.

Setup in one minute

Connect it like you'd join any Wi-Fi

Power the device on and a simple setup page opens on your phone. Pick the line's network, enter the claim code from the label, and you're done - no app to install, no wiring, no IT ticket. (On cellular units, it just connects on its own.)

  1. 1
    Mount the sensorAttach a plug-in counter to the machine and power it on. Works on any line, no wiring into the control system.
  2. 2
    Claim it in the appType the code on the label to bind the sensor to its line. Counts start flowing within minutes - nothing to configure.
