PLC Monitoring and Control
Most machines comes with a central control called PLC, a touch screen interface or HMI, and sensors. It is possible to get the data from the machine for the purpose of monitoring and storing these data for analysis and reports.
Below are examples of data but not limited to:
-
State of machine
-
How much raw materials were used
-
Machine Mileage and utilization
-
Sensor data for a given time period
This is made possible by using an Edge Device.
groov EPIC is an edge device made by Opto 22, a manufacturer based in California.

We used groov EPIC to collect data from PLCs and Sensors. We can process, perform calculation on the incoming data in real time as it comes in to groov EPIC.
groov View is an application that comes with groov EPIC that allows you to create a custom dashboard, allowing you to see the data and control the machine from the convenience of a browser, anytime, and anywhere.
Data by itself are meaningless unless you are capable of using it to make valuable and impactful decisions, which are exactly Business Intelligence Charts are for. BI Charts, a visual graphs that are updated in close to real-time and can display the information in whatever form our users prefer (line, bar, column, pie, trends and more). groov EPIC can store these data on itself or on an external database, for other applications like Power BI to consume.
