Any direct control of machine outputs is implemented according to safety requirements and approved technical wiring at the customer site.
Interactive Factory Map
A drag-and-drop interactive editor to design your entire production line. Includes machines, labor points, tanks, mixers, and valves. Connect elements with smart lines (data, motion, pipes) with real-time animation. Display live power charts on each machine. Monitor machine outputs, with digital/analog control enabled only when safety requirements and approved technical wiring are in place. Share your layout instantly with Live Share.
Job Orders
A complete job order management system with a flexible table featuring 12+ customizable columns. Assign workers and machines to each order. Multiple statuses (in progress, paused, completed). Automatic piece counting via sensors. Quality tracking (good/defective) with quality ratios. Supports 6 languages (Arabic, English, Bengali, Urdu, Hindi, Filipino) — each worker receives orders and notifications in their own language. Instant Telegram notifications for workers. PDF report export.
Operator App
A dedicated mobile app for workers to receive job orders directly. Start, stop, and resume work with one tap. Machine setup before production. Unified timeline showing work phases (setup, pieces produced, stoppages). Real-time sensor values bar. Supports 6 languages.
Smart Dashboard
A WebSocket-powered real-time dashboard with instant updates without page reload. 3 donut charts (Power consumption, Load Factor, Total Energy). Real-time monitoring of operational readings and machine values. Digital/analog output control can be enabled from the dashboard according to approved wiring and safety requirements. Integrated alert center. Built-in Job Orders widget.
Reports & Analytics
Comprehensive reports covering all production aspects: energy consumption (kWh), Peak Demand tracking, real-time and hourly actual values, machine performance comparison (Bar Charts), period comparison (this month vs. previous), detailed energy reports, and Dual Metrics (value + energy together). PDF export with section selection. Flexible time filters.
AI Analytics (AI Chat)
A smart assistant that analyzes your factory data and provides actionable recommendations. Ask any question about production data and get instant answers. Analyze production trends and discover hidden patterns. Suggestions to improve efficiency and reduce waste.
Smart Alerts
Instant alerts for: board disconnection, new Peak Demand value recorded, device reconnection. Three severity levels (critical, warning, info). Multi-channel notifications via dashboard and Telegram. Unified alert center to track history.
Surveillance Cameras
Link surveillance cameras to locations and machines directly on the factory map. Watch live feeds from within the interactive Layout. Real-time monitoring of all production points from one place.
Enterprise Security
QR Code authentication with Device Trust — zero SMS after first login. 4 permission levels (Owner, Admin, Operator, Viewer). Temporary support sessions with one-time OTP password. Advanced data encryption. Rate limiting protection. Comprehensive security auditing.
Smart IoT Hardware — Easy Installation
ESP32-based boards: SC08CH (8 ports) and SC16CH (16 ports) with input and output ports for monitoring and control. Digital and analog outputs are supported according to safety requirements and approved wiring. PLC integration via Modbus RTU/TCP when available — and sensor-based operation when PLC is not available. Installed beside the machine with zero disassembly. WiFi connectivity. Edge Server and DotSCADA Gateway are available for factories with limited internet connectivity. On-site setup and remote firmware updates (OTA).
