See Your Shop Floor as It Happens, Not at the End of the Shift
AI that gives you a live view of every machine. It tracks status, output, downtime and bottlenecks in real time, alerts the right person the moment a line stops or slows, and logs the reason, so supervisors act now instead of reading about it tomorrow.
50+ ERP and software projects. Zero failed projects since 2021.
The floor tells you everything, a day too late
By the time a stop shows up in a report, the shift is over and the output is already lost. A live view moves the decision to the moment it can still change the outcome.
A stop you can see is a stop you can fix
When a line goes down, every minute is output you do not get back. Monitoring shows the stop the second it starts and sends it to the person on that line, so the response is minutes, not the next morning.
- The status of every machine on one board.
- A stop or slowdown flagged the moment it starts.
- The alert goes to the person who can act.
Every stop logged with its reason
It is not enough to know a machine was down for forty minutes. Monitoring captures why: a changeover, a material wait, a jam, a breakdown. The reasons build up, so you can see which cause is eating the most time and fix the pattern, not just the incident.
- A reason attached to every stop.
- The causes that cost you the most, ranked.
- End-of-shift numbers that explain themselves.
Every machine, one status at a glance
Running, idle or down, with output next to each name. The same tiles supervisors watch on the wall board show up on a phone or a screen in the office.
From a machine signal to a supervisor acting
Six things it watches on the floor
All from the machine and sensor data you already produce, reconciled with your ERP.
Machine status
Running, idle or down for every machine, updated live, so the state of the whole floor is on one board.
Output and pace
Units per hour against the pace the line should be holding, so a slowdown is visible before it becomes a shortfall.
Downtime
Every stop, how long it lasted, and whether it was planned, so lost time is counted instead of guessed.
Bottlenecks
Where work is piling up and which machine is holding back the line, so you fix the constraint, not a symptom.
Stop reasons
The cause logged against each stop: changeover, material wait, jam or breakdown, building a record over time.
Maintenance triggers
Repeated slowdowns and stops on a machine flagged early, so maintenance is called before it fails outright.

What Is Inside AI Shop Floor Monitoring
It is a working view of your floor, not another report. Here is what it tracks, how it catches a stop, and how it gets the right person to act.
From a machine signal to a supervisor acting
The whole floor on one screen
Every machine shows as running, idle or down, with its output next to the name. The same board runs on a wall screen, an office monitor and a phone, so the floor is visible to everyone who needs it at the same moment.
- Running, idle and down states, updated live.
- Output and pace next to each machine.
- One view on the wall, the desk and the phone.
A stop or a slow line, caught immediately
The moment a machine stops, or drops below the pace it should be holding, it is flagged. A slowdown that a shift report would bury shows up on the board while there is still time to act on it.
- Stops flagged the second they start.
- Slowdowns caught against the normal pace.
- Lost time counted, not estimated later.
The right person told, the reason recorded
Each stop goes to the person who can act, with escalation if it drags on, on the channel they already use. The reason is logged against the stop, so over days and weeks the causes that cost you the most become obvious.
- Alerts routed by line, severity and duration.
- Escalation when a stop is not cleared.
- A reason on every stop, building a record.
Everything the monitoring covers
Live machine status
Running, idle or down for every machine on one board, updated in real time.
Output and pace
Units per hour against target pace, so a slowdown shows before it becomes a shortfall.
Bottleneck view
Where work piles up and which machine holds back the line, so you fix the real constraint.
Alerts and escalation
Notifications routed by line, severity and duration, escalating when a stop is not cleared.
Stop reason log
Every stop tagged with its cause, building the record that shows what to fix first.
ERP-aligned view
Output and downtime reconciled with your work orders, so numbers tie back to the jobs they belong to.
