Twelve machines One continuous history

Around 100 signals from about twelve machines in a Styrian quarry: analyze production and downtime together with PlantWatch

Automated weekly reports

PlantWatch produces a weekly report from the recorded production data

Defective motor identified

Abnormal temperature readings and motor protection signals revealed a defective motor

Details of the anonymized project

Sync Connect transfers S7 1500 controller data via OPC UA and a custom SQL connector to the PlantWatch database. Existing machines, controllers and visualizations remained in use. The data hub was ready after around seven days, and PlantWatch was commissioned in the prepared environment in one more day

Frequently asked questions

What data does PlantWatch need for downtime analysis?

PlantWatch uses existing states, alarms and process values from your controllers. Together, we select the signals to record based on what you want to monitor. Connections can use OPC UA, Siemens S7 or Modbus TCP, depending on the available interfaces

Can I keep my existing PLC, HMI and SCADA?

Yes. PlantWatch adds production history, downtime analysis and reports alongside your existing systems. It connects as a monitoring layer and reads the selected signals without changing the machine sequence or control logic

Where is the production data stored?

PlantWatch can run on your infrastructure or in a managed environment operated by us. For an on premises deployment, production data remains on your server, VM or industrial PC. We agree on the hosting location and data flow before implementation

Can I start with one machine or line?

Yes. You can start with a defined machine, line or production area. The full Pro price also applies when connecting fewer than ten machines. Commissioning is charged separately. The first connection focuses on what you want to monitor. Further data sources can be added afterwards

What do you need for commissioning?

Tell us which controllers and interfaces are available and what you want to understand about your production. For implementation, we also review network access, documentation, local infrastructure and a technical contact. This determines the scope of preparation and commissioning

Is PlantWatch a fit for your equipment?

Tell us which controllers and interfaces you use and what you want to monitor. We will assess the possible integration and get back to you
