Know what every machine is doing — right now, from anywhere
Live status, downtime, and OEE for every machine on your floor — CNC and PLC-driven alike, from milling and turning to die casting. See it on the office screen, the shop-floor TV, or your phone.
Every report, one screen
Five reports, all reading the same shift
OEE rolls all four of these up into one number — see exactly where the loss lives, or drop into any one of them on its own.

See the whole floor
Quiet when it runs, loud when it doesn’t
Each tile is a real-time andon board for one machine: a plain status (running, idle, or down, with a reason like “tool change” when it’s stopped), a pace grade against the shift’s plan, and an hour-by-hour bar chart of what it actually produced. Healthy tiles stay quiet — the one that’s behind or stopped is what pulls your eye — so you stop walking the floor to find out what’s happening on it.
Book a demoKnow why
Know why, not just what stopped
Every shift hour laid out as its own lane — running time, load/unload gaps, and stops, all inline, all with a plain-language reason once someone’s tapped it.
- Hour-by-hour rhythm, not a single end-of-shift rollup
- Cycle-completion dots mark every finished part as it happens
- Unclassified stops are two taps from a reason — never left unexplained
Built for your floor
Five industries, one way of watching a machine
Who it’s for
One system, a different view for every role on the floor
The same live data, read differently depending on which decision you’re making with it.
Plant / Operations Manager
See OEE, downtime, and cost roll up into one number for the whole floor — the same one the ₹79/machine/day math on this page is built on.
Supervisor / Shift in-charge
Machines stay quiet while they run and get loud the moment one needs you — tap in for its hour-by-hour rhythm, not just an alarm.
Maintenance
Tool life monitoring tracks wear and remaining life per tool, right alongside the same downtime and OEE data everyone else on the floor is watching.
Quality
Downtime causes, OEE components, and shift reports accumulate automatically — audit-ready records that exist because the system ran, not because someone prepared for the audit.
See how, in auto components →The math
Recover four minutes a machine a day and it has paid for itself
ThingConnect is ₹79 per machine per day — everything included, no modules, no per-user licences. That is 8.8% of what one unwatched machine leaks in a day, and less than half an OEE point.
Over a year, ThingConnect costs 9.7% of what the same floor loses to stops nobody recorded.
Start with one line
You don’t have to commit the plant to find out. Run a pilot on a single line and judge it on criteria we agree in writing before anyone installs anything.
- 60 days, one line, up to 10 machines
- ₹50,000 fixed — fully creditable against your subscription
- Success criteria agreed in writing before install
- Local engineers, same-day support visits
Illustrative calculation, not a customer result: 15 machines × 45 unplanned min/day × ₹1,200/machine-hour × 330 working days, against list pricing. Your figures will differ — the calculator uses your own.

What’s next
AI is part of where predictive maintenance is headed
AI-assisted pattern recognition over the run-state and tool-wear data we already collect, so a machine trending toward failure gets flagged before it costs a shift.

Already have RS485 or Modbus devices on the floor?
Our RS485 gateways bridge legacy serial devices — meters, drives, sensors — onto Ethernet or WiFi, so they show up as Modbus TCP or MQTT anywhere on your network. Made in India, sold direct.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Everything plants ask us before booking a demo.
Our engineers do — site survey, server deployment, machine connections, and operator training. You don't install anything yourself; that's the point of a guided deployment.
Machine data flows encrypted from the gateway in your plant to your ThingConnect cloud workspace, visible only to your accounts and exportable anytime. The gateway keeps collecting during internet outages and syncs when the connection returns. If policy requires everything inside your firewall, an on-premise enterprise deployment is available for larger fleets.
CNC machines across the major controller brands found on Indian shop floors, plus PLC-driven machines such as die casting cells and presses. Tell us what your floor runs when you book a demo and we confirm connectivity machine-by-machine during the site survey.
For most plants, dashboards are live on install day — the site survey beforehand is what makes that possible. From first call to a running pilot is typically a few weeks, driven mostly by your schedule.
₹79 per machine per day on an annual subscription, plus a one-time deployment fee. Everything is included at that price — every dashboard and report, the gateway, and local support. There are no per-user licences, so operators, supervisors, TVs, and tablets cost nothing extra, and larger fleets step down from there.
We agree the success criteria in writing before anyone installs anything — typically that at least 90% of stops on the pilot line get classified. The ₹50,000 pilot fee is fully creditable against your subscription if you continue. If we miss the criteria, you keep a written report of exactly what your floor is losing and you are under no obligation to go ahead.
Find out what your floor is actually losing
Thirty minutes on a call is enough to see ThingConnect running on machines like yours and get an indicative number for your plant. If it looks right, we survey your site before you commit to anything.
No obligation, and nothing to install before you decide.
