Keep your production line's pulse remotely
Monitor machine downtime, production counts, OEE and line-level energy consumption on a single platform. Manage production in real time without replacing your existing PLCs and meters or going on-site.
OEE Tracking
Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE), made up of availability, performance and quality rates, is calculated automatically. Compare results by line, shift and machine.
Downtime & Andon Management
Unplanned stops are detected instantly and their reasons (breakdown, waiting for material, mold change) are coded by the operator. The team is alerted immediately via the andon screen and SMS/email.
Production Counting & Traceability
Real-time production count via line output, box counter or PLC signal. Batch and lot-level traceability is provided for retrospective analysis.
Line-Level Energy Consumption
Each machine's or line's energy consumption is tracked separately. Energy cost per unit produced is calculated, and inefficient equipment is identified.
Quality & Rejection Tracking
Rejects/scrap counts and reasons on the production line are logged. Quality rate is calculated in real time, and recurring defect sources are reported.
Hierarchical Plant Structure
A Plant → Line → Machine → Station drill-down structure. Manage multiple facilities and shifts from a single platform, with role-based access control included.
Shift & Production Plan Comparison
Planned production volume is automatically compared against actual output. Efficiency and target deviation are reported by shift.
Maintenance Alerts (Predictive Maintenance)
Periodic maintenance reminders are automatically generated based on running hours, cycle count or vibration thresholds. Unexpected breakdowns are reduced.
Centralized Reporting
Shift, daily, weekly and monthly production reports are generated automatically and sent to the relevant people in Excel/PDF format on a schedule.
| Line | Product | Status | Current Speed | Shift Count | OEE |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Line 1 | Body Injection | Producing | 42 pcs/min | 3,140 | 89% |
| Line 2 | Assembly — Model B | Mold Change | — | 1,860 | 61% |
| Line 3 | Packaging | Down | 0 pcs/min | 2,410 | 44% |
| Line 4 | CNC Machining | Producing | 18 pcs/min | 980 | 93% |
Site Survey
Existing PLC, meter and sensor infrastructure is reviewed. The data points to collect and the communication method are determined.
Hardware Installation
The Roltek IoT gateway is mounted inside the panel and connected to your PLC via Modbus, digital I/O or 4-20mA signals. Installation is done without stopping production.
Platform Configuration
Line hierarchy, OEE targets, downtime codes and alarm thresholds are defined on the FAST IoT Platform.
Go-Live
Operator and manager screens are activated and the team is trained. The system goes live with 24/7 monitoring.
What Is MES (Manufacturing Execution System)?
A Manufacturing Execution System (MES) is a software-hardware solution that collects, monitors, analyzes and manages machine, operator and process data on the production line in real time. It bridges the data gap between ERP and shop-floor equipment.
Roltek's MES solution collects data from your existing PLCs via IoT gateways and industrial routers, and brings together OEE, downtime, quality and energy data on a single screen within the FAST IoT Platform. There is no need to replace your existing automation infrastructure.
What Problems Does It Solve?
- → Unplanned stops being noticed too late, resulting in lost production time
- → OEE, efficiency and quality rates being calculated manually and with delay
- → Production and scrap data not being transparently comparable across shifts
- → Lack of visibility into line/machine-level energy consumption and unit cost
- → Maintenance needs not being noticed until a breakdown occurs
- → Production reports being compiled manually in Excel
Automotive Supply Industry
Cycle time, OEE and scrap tracking on injection, welding and assembly lines. Traceability data ready for supplier audits.
Food & Beverage Production
Production counting on filling lines, batch/lot-level traceability, and integrated monitoring of critical temperature/humidity points.
Metal & Plastics Processing
Cycle, downtime and maintenance data collected from CNC machining centers and injection molding machines to plan predictive maintenance.
