Machine kpi dashboards

Create KPI-driven dashboards

Build your own advanced machine dashboards with key data analysis points to identify failures at a glance. Use your dashboards for different purposes, such as machine condition monitoring to discover trends in your machine data or to predict failures before they occur. Give customers insight into their machine data by granting access to the Portal and easily share machine KPI dashboards. Display components with:

  • Critical machine parameters, e.g. vibration, pressure or temperature
  • Production data such as # of units produced, amount of scraps or waste
  • Uptime and Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE)
  • Other important machine information like machine manuals
Remote Access to PLCs and machines via IXON Cloud

One-stop-shop for machine access

The IXON Cloud platform is an all-in-one IIoT solution with a broad scope of features. Everything you need to maximise your machine’s productivity in one place: from simple remote access, to advanced data logging, machine alerts and customisable dashboards.

All important information about your machines collected in one central platform and made available to a wide variety of users. Provide secure access with custom views for your customers, service teams, software engineers or mechanical engineers. IXON Cloud’s ease of use makes your service portal functional for everyone.

Customable data dashboards

Fully customisable to your needs

IXON Cloud's customisability extends to the data dashboards. Easily customise your machine dashboards to fit your requirements with the Drag & Drop functionality. You can arrange your chosen components in a way that works for you, and create custom dashboards and PDF reports for different types of users. That way everyone only sees the data that fits their interests.

If the pre-configured options don't meet your requirements, you can even use the component SDK to create components for custom data graphs or to integrate data from external resources.

Frequently asked questions

What is machine data acquisition?

Machine data acquisition involves collecting and recording data generated by industrial machines and devices such as PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers), HMIs (Human-Machine Interfaces), sensors, and other equipment. This data is used for further analysis and optimization of industrial processes. IXON uses devices like the IXrouter and the SecureEdge Pro gateway to collect and store data from various parameters and sends it to the IXON Cloud for processing and analysis.

Why use machine data acquisition?

Machine data acquisition is used to gain insights into the performance and condition of industrial equipment. By collecting data on machine operations, businesses can monitor key performance indicators (KPIs), track machine efficiency, and identify areas for improvement. This leads to better decision-making, enhanced operational efficiency and the ability to predict and prevent equipment failures.

What role does machine data acquisition play in downtime prevention?

Machine data acquisition plays a crucial role in downtime prevention by enabling real-time monitoring and condition-based maintenance. By continuously collecting and analyzing data, businesses can detect anomalies and signs of potential failures early. This allows maintenance teams to address issues before they lead to unplanned downtime.

How does machine data acquisition help with fault prediction?

By monitoring parameters such as temperature, vibration, and pressure, businesses can identify patterns and trends that indicate an impending fault. This proactive approach allows for timely maintenance and repairs, reducing the likelihood of unexpected machine failures.

What are the benefits of integrating machine data acquisition into IoT systems?

  • Real-time monitoring: Enables continuous monitoring of machine performance and condition from anywhere.
  • Enhanced maintenance: Facilitates predictive and preventive maintenance, reducing downtime and maintenance costs.
  • Data-driven insights: Provides valuable data for analysis, helping to optimize operations and improve efficiency.
  • Remote access: Allows for remote troubleshooting and support, reducing the need for on-site visits.
  • Scalability: Supports the integration of multiple devices and systems, making it easier to manage complex industrial operations.
