Areas of monitoring
Let's start monitoring your production together

1. Face-to-face meeting
Fill out the form below, we will contact you and arrange an online meeting together. We will discuss the devices you want to monitor and their connection options. If necessary, we will arrange an on-site meeting.
2. Selection of monitoring area and sensors
Depending on the type of device, we will select the measurement method and the most suitable sensors. The following monitoring methods are most commonly used:
- Optical sensor
- Capacitive sensor
- Magnetic sensor
- Hall probe
- Connection to the analog output of the machine
- Connection to the digital output of the machine
3. Visualization and reporting method
We will not replace the tools and applications you are comfortable working with. We will find a way to transfer the measured data to them. If you don't use a suitable application yet, we can help you choose one. We usually use Power BI.

4. Sending the device and installation
We will send the device including the sensors to you. If you cannot handle the installation yourself, we will send someone from our company to do it.
5. Monitoring and evaluation
You will have production data instantly on your computer and phone. It will be available to evaluate your production efficiency and the return on your overall investment. Together we will look at the data and evaluate the benefits.

Your Frequently Asked Questions
How does the program factory.report work?
After submitting the form, Alan will contact you to arrange a time to call together. The aim is to find out how we can monitor your machines and agree on a deployment procedure.
How do you connect to our machines? Will you stop production?
We support a variety of connection methods. Often we connect directly to the PLC machines with digital outputs, for example via RS-485 (Modbus) or analog outputs. If this is not possible, capacitive, magnetic and optical sensors come into play. In most cases, there is no need to stop your production at all.
How do you transmit production data? Is it safe?
We transmit data over Vodafone's NB-IoT wireless network. It has great coverage including inside factories. The network is completely independent of your internal network, the transmission is secure.
Where will we see the data?
In factory.report, we work with the outputs in Microsoft's Power BI. To see what this might look like, see link. However, if you need to see the data elsewhere, we'll find a way to do it. Then, with the help of our partners, we also offer custom web apps.
Can the monitoring system also be purchased, or is it only available for rent?
Yes, you can also purchase equipment and sensors on a one-off basis. The regular fees are then only for internet connectivity and optionally for visualization and reporting. We will discuss the details at the kick-off meeting.
