In-depth reporting (Power BI)
Simply place the M-Box on your machine (magnetized) and power it up (12V adaptor included).
Set up the external sensor(s) and plug into the M-Box.
The units automatically connect to the dedicated M-Box network via the preset Wi-Fi station (provided by M-Box).

We used to spend more time on creating reports than we did on doing something actively constructive with them. Automatic reports take out the nuisance of creating the reports, add to that the fact that they are available when still actionable
The tools of analysis that we now have allow us to rank our business opportunities on profit potential, using the historical production data. We were able to focus on profitable productions only after implementing this tool.
We have been looking at apps that allow for more remote working, which is encouraged these days. Finding one that integrates machine data was a requirement, and this one proved a real find. Thanks, guys!
Installation was a walk I the park, did not take more than 30 minutes for each machine. The machine itself only had to be stopped for 10 minutes to install the sensor. Got the complete floor set up within a day.
Compared to other projects, this was a relief. Once we were set up the data came in. No in-depth procedures and the intuitive portal is so easy to use. Everyone loves it.
I love walking the factory floor, but realize it’s not optimal to feel the pulse of the factory by just doing that. The data I have now, really give me the insights that are valuable in our decision-making.
