Pilot programPLC and HMI data collector

Your PLC production data on a dashboard, without replacing the machine

Automatic collection of the logs PLCs and HMIs already produce, sent to a cloud database with a production dashboard, without new equipment. It's in a pilot program: the first deployments are closely accompanied.

Pilot program: guided rollout, with metrics agreed before we start.

PLC and HMI data collector: overview

In short

Automatic collection of the logs PLCs and HMIs already produce, sent to a cloud database with a production dashboard, without new equipment. It's in a pilot program: the first deployments are closely accompanied. Built for small and mid-sized manufacturers with PLCs and HMIs on the line, maintenance and production-planning teams that rely on manual logs and plants that want to follow production without replacing machines. It is in a pilot program with openings for partner companies; the entry offer starts at US$ 1,200.

01The problem

Production data stays trapped in the PLC or HMI memory; someone downloads files by hand, when they do, and the metrics arrive late or never.

02The solution

An agent installed on the plant network downloads the files on schedule, with retries and parallel runs, validates each row and sends everything to a cloud database that feeds production dashboards and alerts.

03How it works

01Agent on thenetwork02Scheduledcollection03Validation04Cloud anddashboard
  1. Agent on the network

    An agent installed on the plant network reaches the HMI or the log server.

  2. Scheduled collection

    Files are downloaded on schedule, with retries and parallel runs.

  3. Validation

    Every row is validated and standardized before it's sent.

  4. Cloud and dashboard

    Data travels over an encrypted connection to a cloud database that feeds the dashboard and alerts.

The highlighted step checks the result before anything moves on.

04What you gain

  • No more manual logging. Records leave the machine without anyone downloading files.

  • Same-day metrics. Production shows up on the dashboard without waiting for the month-end close.

  • No new equipment. The collector uses what the PLC and HMI already expose on the network.

06What's included

  • Scheduled collection agent with retries
  • Record validation and standardization
  • Cloud database
  • Production dashboard and alerts

07Who it's for

  • Small and mid-sized manufacturers with PLCs and HMIs on the line
  • Maintenance and production-planning teams that rely on manual logs
  • Plants that want to follow production without replacing machines

09Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to collect PLC data into the cloud?

The “Data collection and dashboard pilot for one machine” offer starts at US$ 1,200 and takes 3 weeks. Larger scopes are quoted in writing before work starts.

Do I need to replace the PLC or the HMI?

No. The collector uses the logs the equipment already makes available on the network, such as CSV files or export pages.

Is the data secure?

Collection runs inside the plant network and data goes to the cloud over an encrypted connection, with controlled access.

Which PLCs and HMIs are compatible?

Those that expose logs on the network, such as CSV files or export pages. The pilot starts by checking what your machine offers.

Is it ready for any plant?

It's in a pilot program: the first deployments are closely accompanied, starting by checking what your HMI or PLC exposes on the network.
