Field notes
The described setup connects to a machine’s PLC over Ethernet and adds vibration and temperature sensing; the company says the box reads data but never sends commands. Its software is presented as linking machine stoppages to affected orders and the rupee cost of downtime. The homepage lists Mitsubishi, Omron and Beckhoff compatibility, while labeling the example dashboard data as demo data.
