Digital Andon with customizable alerts to detect and escalate problems with agility.
Advanced analytics and automated reports to identify patterns and improve processes.
What is Machine Monitoring System?
Machine monitoring solutions enable visibility of industrial machinery and manufacturing processes. Systems such as Pulsar automatically collect and analyze machine data—runtime, downtime, speed, output, cycle times, and more—so you can stop relying on memory, or manual logging.
In Manufacturing sectors like metalworking, where older equipment is still active and downtime is costly, knowing exactly what’s happening (and when) is key to productivity. Pulsar helps you uncover hidden inefficiencies, frequent downtime causes, and make better decisions without replacing your infrastructure.
How Does Pulsar Track Your Machine Data?
Our solution leverages Industry 4.0 technology and industrial sensors to connect to newer and older models, even conventional machines, with agility. Based on your manufacturing processes, we place the right hardware at key points to enable data collection and turn your machine data into valuable insights from day one.
We leverage hardware such as sensors for analog signals, sensors for digital signals, and smart cameras as well as digital technologies. With our solution, you can monitor machine data such as downtime, cycles, and production in real-time from a single, modern interface.
Automated Downtime Tracking
Pulsar gives you real-time visibility into your plant’s performance, so you can act fast and stay productive. Dive into historical reports and key metrics like OEE, production, machine speed, availability, and more. From live machine monitoring to improving productivity, Pulsar is a platform that helps you to regain control of your shop floor and leverage the most out of your machines.
Machine Monitoring Solutions: Use Cases
Replace spreadsheets with real-time machine data
Stop relying on manual logs and inconsistent reports that take ages to build. With machine monitoring and automatic data capture, you get accurate performance metrics shift by shift. Monitor your downtime in real time and improve your OEE with the latest data-driven technology.
Maximize output on your existing machines
Know exactly how much time your machines are running, idle, or underperforming. Identify bottlenecks and underused equipment to boost throughput without new investments. Create custom reports in seconds. Run leaner, not harder.
Align your team with precise data
When everyone’s working from the same real-time information, decisions get faster and miscommunication drops. Keep machine operators, supervisors, and managers on the same page with clear, accurate machine data displayed via an intuitive software.
Enabling Manufacturing Visibility for Plants with Mixed Machines
Most production floors have a mix of old and newer machines, and in metalworking and plastics manufacturing, that’s just how it is. These machines were built to last, and they do. But while they keep running, the market doesn’t stop moving. Customer demands keep rising. Lead times shrink. And keeping up with operating efficiency means being faster, smarter, and more flexible than ever.
This mix of old and new machines makes manufacturing visibility a constant challenge. Not all your machines speak the same language. Connecting them one by one is time-consuming and expensive: legacy equipment often lacks native connectivity, leaving critical production data locked in silos or entirely unrecorded.
This environment forces teams to rely on manual checks, spreadsheets, and fragmented reports, slowing decision-making and increasing the risk of errors. Without a unified, real-time view, managers can’t accurately track performance or respond quickly to issues.
Pulsar’s Machine Monitoring System talks to all your machines through industrial sensors, regardless of brand, age, or level of automation. No interfering PLCs, no ripping things out. Just real-time insights across your plant, with zero disruption.
