Where other counters fall short

Blind Production Floor

No visibility into machine utilization, cycle times, or downtime causes across your shop floor.

Legacy Equipment

Older machines lack digital interfaces. You can't monitor what you can't connect to.

Disruptive Retrofits

Traditional monitoring systems require production shutdowns and PLC reprogramming.

Siloed Data

Machine data trapped in proprietary PLCs with no path to your dashboards or ERP.

How It Works

Three steps to your first deployment

01

Connect to Machines

Mount on DIN rail, wire to PLC via Modbus or connect to 24V signals. No changes to existing PLC programs.

02

Configure via Web

Set up registers, thresholds, and data destinations through the built-in web interface. Collecting data in minutes.

03

Track OEE

Stream production counts and machine states to HARDWARIO Cloud. Build OEE dashboards and set downtime alerts.

Plug Into Existing Machines
Integration

Plug Into Existing Machines

Read production counters from PLCs via Modbus RTU or TCP. For machines without a PLC, connect directly to 24 V industrial signals and count pulses. Nochanges toyour existing PLC programs required.

Use Cases

Where It Works

OEE Tracking
01

OEE Tracking

Measure Overall Equipment Effectiveness in real time. Track availability, performance, and quality metrics across your entire production floor.

ANDON Alert System
02

ANDON Alert System

Digital ANDON systems for production lines. Instant notifications when machines stop, enabling faster response and reduced downtime.

Legacy Machine Digitalization
03

Legacy Machine Digitalization

Retrofit older machines without PLCs using 24V pulse counting. No production downtime, no PLC changes required.

Predictive Maintenance
04

Predictive Maintenance

Track machine cycle patterns and detect anomalies before breakdowns occur. Shift from reactive to predictive maintenance strategies.

Production Line Monitoring
05

Production Line Monitoring

Real-time visibility into cycle times, batch counts, and machine states. Stream data to dashboards and ERP systems via REST API.

Energy Consumption per Machine
06

Energy Consumption per Machine

Correlate energy usage with production output at machine level. Identify energy-hungry equipment and optimize consumption patterns.
