Adding measurement records to legacy machines without a communication interface via external sensors and edge.
Solution flow
A retrofit measurement point is installed to gain measurement and records from existing machines and lines where communication ports are limited. It is used on automotive brownfield lines and likewise in metal or plastics machining.
We install suitable sensors and an edge unit on the legacy machine; signal conditioning, sampling and record format are written in the project definition; data flows to operations dashboards.

Retrofit measurement point, record format and site acceptance record.
Acceptance of the retrofit measurement point compares external sensor output against a reference measurement or manual count, recording accuracy and repeatability. The signal is approved once it is shown to match the machine's actual running state.
Requires physical access to mount sensors on the legacy machine with a short downtime window, a suitable electrical or mechanical connection point, and a reference measurement method for verification.
Record chain
From obligation to measured record to produced output.
Production, traceability or quality record obligation
Shop-floor production and process records
Timestamped operational records from measurement
