MACHINE DATA COLLECTION

Turn machine signals into usable production data.

Machine data collection is only valuable when signals are translated into production events that operators and managers can understand. ClearRivet connects state, counts, rate and downtime to the operating context.

WHY IT MATTERS

Raw signals become a production record.

The objective is not to collect every available tag. It is to collect the values that explain production and make those values reliable enough for daily management.

STATE

Running and stopped

Capture when equipment is producing and when it is not, with connectivity handled separately from production state.

OUTPUT

Counts and rate

Record production counts and convert them into the units the customer actually manages—pieces, kg, bags or other configured units.

EVENTS

Time-linked history

Create a chronological record that connects machine behaviour to downtime, production orders and shift performance.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Questions manufacturing teams ask.

What machine data does ClearRivet need?

The minimum useful set usually includes a reliable running-state source and production count. Additional signals can be added where they create meaningful operational value.

Can one count equal more than one unit?

Yes. ClearRivet is designed to support configurable unit conversion so one machine count can represent a customer-defined quantity such as kilograms or individual items.

Does collecting more PLC tags always improve OEE?

No. Reliable definitions and validated core signals are more valuable than collecting large volumes of unused data.
