01
Custom development every time
History, visualization and reporting are rebuilt for every customer.
PlantWatch for system integrators
Add production monitoring to your automation projects.
PlantWatch adds production history, downtime analysis, dashboards and automated reporting to existing PLC, HMI and SCADA environments.
You handle the customer relationship and local implementation. Sync Motion provides the software, product expertise and remote engineering.

The repetitive layer
Not every customer project should start from scratch.
Most integrators can access the PLC data. The repetitive work comes afterward: history, dashboards, downtime logic and reporting are rebuilt for each customer.
PlantWatch turns that layer into a repeatable product that can be adapted to the customer’s equipment.
02
Small projects become difficult to standardize
Production monitoring often begins as a custom side feature inside a larger automation project.
03
No clear entry offer
Customers want better visibility but are not ready for a full MES or SCADA project.
A repeatable offer
What PlantWatch adds to your offer
01
Productized entry offer
Start with one machine, production line or defined plant area.
02
More follow-on work
The collected data exposes recurring downtime, control limitations and modernization priorities.
03
Less custom development
Use an existing platform for history, dashboards, event sequences and reports.
04
Keep the customer relationship
The partner remains the local customer contact and owns the agreed implementation scope.
Clear responsibilities
Software and product expertise meet local delivery.
Sync Motion provides
- PlantWatch software and licensing
- Demo environment
- Technical documentation
- Standard deployment architecture
- Remote engineering

Partner models
A cooperation model that fits the project
01
Referral partner
You introduce the opportunity. Sync Motion handles sales and delivery. The referral is compensated.
02
Delivery partner
You handle customer access and local installation. Sync Motion supplies PlantWatch and supports the engineering.
03
Reseller and integrator
You own the customer relationship, implementation and support. PlantWatch is supplied under partner terms.
Commercial terms, support scope and lead ownership are agreed after the pilot project.
Partner profile
Who we want to work with
PlantWatch is particularly relevant for integrators that support existing production plants and already work with PLC, HMI, SCADA or MES environments.
- Experience with existing production plants
- PLC, HMI, SCADA or MES capabilities
- Siemens, Rockwell, Beckhoff, Schneider or Ignition experience
- Local commissioning and technical support
- Interest in a repeatable product rather than another one-off solution
- Existing customers in production, maintenance or plant operations
The first pilot
From the first discussion to a joint pilot
- 01
Technical introduction
We review PlantWatch, its architecture and the boundaries of the product.
- 02
Review the partner fit
We discuss your markets, technical capabilities and existing customer projects.
- 03
Select one opportunity
We select one real customer plant where the value can be evaluated.
- 04
Supported deployment
The partner handles local implementation. Sync Motion supports product configuration and engineering.
- 05
Define the ongoing model
After the pilot, we define partner terms, support and lead ownership.
A practical first step
Evaluate PlantWatch on a real customer project.
We review whether PlantWatch fits your customer base, technical capabilities and a current opportunity.
No generic partner-program presentation. The first step is a practical technical evaluation.
FAQ
Common questions about working together
Does the partner need to host PlantWatch?
PlantWatch runs on-premise in the customer environment. Installation, operation and network responsibilities are defined for each project.
Which controllers and interfaces are supported?
Typical connections include Siemens S7, OPC UA and Modbus TCP. Rockwell, Beckhoff, existing SCADA systems, historians and other interfaces are reviewed against the customer environment.
Who handles customer support?
The partner typically provides first-level support. Sync Motion supports product questions and second-level cases; the exact scope is agreed per project.
Does the partner keep the customer relationship?
In delivery and reseller models, the partner remains the local customer contact. Roles, project scope and communication are defined before the pilot.
Is account or lead protection available?
Lead ownership and any protection are agreed individually after the first pilot. This page does not make a blanket contractual commitment.
Can the cooperation begin with one project?
Yes. The preferred starting point is one real customer plant where technical fit, responsibilities and value can be evaluated together.
Does PlantWatch replace SCADA or MES?
No. PlantWatch runs alongside existing PLC, HMI, SCADA and MES environments and adds production history, downtime analysis, dashboards and reporting.
