Industries
Manufacturing
Machine connectivity, OEE monitoring and predictive maintenance for existing production lines.
01Overview
The operating reality
Manufacturers know that unplanned downtime, hidden energy waste and inconsistent quality cost money, yet many production lines still run on machines that were never designed to share data, and replacing every PLC is rarely practical. NETNOVA connects existing machines without replacing them. Industrial IoT gateways and protocol converters collect data from PLCs, CNC machines, power meters and sensors over Modbus RTU/TCP, RS-485 and Ethernet, while edge controllers compute cycle counts, run states and alarms close to the machine. Vibration, temperature and current sensors can be added to monitor the condition of motors, pumps and compressors. Data flows to the NETNOVA Cloud Platform, which can be deployed on-premises for factories with strict IT policies. Dashboards show overall equipment effectiveness (OEE), downtime, energy consumption and production output in real time, and condition data supports predictive maintenance, so wear is detected before it causes a stoppage. Open APIs connect the platform to MES, ERP and maintenance management systems. For machine builders, we also develop embedded connectivity modules that make their equipment IoT-ready and turn remote monitoring and service into a product feature.
