Machine Monitoring with Signal Towers

This wireless monitoring IoT system collects real-time shop-floor status data from PATLITE signal towers, providing instant visualization and analysis for improved efficiency. It offers a quick and cost-effective deployment while providing a strong ROI.

Having trouble collecting machine status?

mcframe_SIGNAL-CHAIN_Paper-reporting-challenges

Inaccurate handwritten reports cause delays

Collecting data from hand-written reports is often inaccurate, time-consuming, and difficult to analyze. The data is not real-time, making it hard to respond to problems on the shop-floor.
mcframe_SIGNAL CHAIN_PLC Challenges_2025-02-01

Collecting PLC data is complex and costly

PLC data collection requires difficult network construction and programming, making it expensive. Additionally, not all machines have PLC data.

mcframe_SIGNAL-CHAIN_time-and-budget-challenges

Not enough budget or time

Many monitoring solutions are not within budget and take too long to implement. mcframe SIGNAL CHAIN can be deployed quickly at low cost, requiring zero operation downtime.
