Industrial IoT Counter
Connect any machine to your systems - even legacy equipment without digital interfaces. Retrofit production monitoring without disrupting your customers' operations.
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.
Three steps to your first deployment
Connect to Machines
Mount on DIN rail and wire machine outputs to the 24V counting inputs. No changes to existing PLC programs.
Configure via Web
Set up inputs, thresholds, and Modbus/REST access through the built-in web interface. Collecting data in minutes.
Track OEE
Let your MES or dashboards poll production counts over Modbus TCP or the REST API. Build OEE reports and downtime alerts on your side.

Inside GAUGER
WiFi and Ethernet
GAUGER connects to your network through WiFi or Ethernet. Choose the best option for your factory floor - whether it's a wired cabinet connection or wireless deployment across the shop.
Plug Into Existing Machines
Count pulses from 24 V industrial signals (PNP) on four galvanically separated inputs - and let your PLC or SCADA read the totals from GAUGER's built-in Modbus TCP server. No changes to your existing PLC programs required.
Web Interface and DIN Rail Mount
Configure GAUGER through its built-in web interface or HTTP API. Mount it on a standard DIN rail inside your machine cabinet and start collecting data within minutes.
From Machine Data to OEE Dashboards
Your systems read production data straight from the device over Modbus TCP or the REST API - build OEE dashboards, downtime alerts, and production reports in your MES, SCADA, or BI tools.

Frequently asked questions
Can GAUGER connect machines that have no digital interface?
Yes. For machines without a PLC, GAUGER connects directly to 24 V industrial signals (PNP) and counts pulses, so even legacy equipment can be monitored.
How does GAUGER integrate with PLCs?
GAUGER acts as a Modbus TCP server - your PLC, SCADA, or MES reads the counted data from it, with no changes to your existing PLC programs required.
Will installing GAUGER disrupt production?
No. GAUGER mounts on a standard DIN rail in the machine cabinet and installs alongside existing equipment without production downtime or PLC reprogramming.
What connectivity does GAUGER support?
GAUGER connects via WiFi (2.4 GHz 802.11 b/g/n) or Ethernet, and exposes its data through the web interface, REST API, and a built-in Modbus TCP server.
How does GAUGER help with OEE?
It counts production pulses and exposes counts and input states over Modbus TCP and the REST API - ready for OEE dashboards, downtime alerts, and MES or ERP integration in your own systems.
What invisible production data costs
Every untracked cycle is a decision made blind - and OEE you can't improve.
GAUGER feeds real-time machine data into SoftLi's MES platform, giving manufacturers accurate OEE metrics and downtime tracking without any PLC changes
