Monitor different machine generations
Use the most appropriate validated data path per asset rather than assuming every machine exposes the same interface.
METAL & DISCRETE MANUFACTURING
Make mixed-machine production easier to see and compare.
Fabrication plants often combine newer PLC-controlled assets with older equipment and manual context. ClearRivet is designed to bring key production signals into one operational view.
WHAT MATTERS
Production visibility designed around the work.
ClearRivet is intended to give manufacturing teams a common view of machine status, production, downtime and OEE without turning every improvement project into a full MES deployment.
Build a consistent loss record
Standardise significant downtime reasons across equipment and shifts.
Keep jobs visible
Track production against the active order or target where configured.
PRACTICAL USE
What teams can use the data for.
See when assets are actually used
Use utilisation alongside OEE to answer capacity and scheduling questions.
Investigate the timeline
Review machine events rather than relying on recollection after the fact.
Expand from a proven machine
Validate one connection and data model before repeating it across similar assets.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Questions manufacturers ask.
Is ClearRivet CNC-specific?
No. ClearRivet is intended for broader manufacturing monitoring. Connectivity depends on the machine and the data available.
Can it monitor older equipment?
Potentially, using suitable PLC/protocol data or machine signals. Each connection needs to be validated.
Does it replace scheduling or ERP?
No. ClearRivet focuses on production visibility and loss data rather than replacing ERP or advanced scheduling systems.
