Machine Connection

Direct, two-way connection with machines of different ages and technologies, in real time.

Why it matters

Metalya connects directly and bidirectionally with machines, using sensors and IoT devices, to collect real-time data on the performance of machines and plants. This enables constant monitoring of the production process and prompt intervention when issues arise. It connects machines of different ages and technologies, from older equipment to modern machines with standard interfaces, via standard industrial protocols and IoT devices.

  • Real-time machine data

    States, counters and performance are collected directly from the machines, without manual transcription.

  • Old and new machines together

    Equipment of different ages and technologies is brought into a single monitoring system.

  • Earlier intervention

    Continuous monitoring shows issues as they arise, so teams can act promptly.

Key features

What it does

  • 01

    One system for the whole fleet

    Machines of different ages and technologies are brought under a single monitoring and control system.

  • 02

    Make the most of existing assets

    Even small or older machines can be connected, protecting existing investments without costly upgrades or replacements.

  • 03

    Full use of modern machines

    On larger, modern systems, integration lets you use their advanced capabilities and adopt improvements more easily.

  • 04

    Standardised processes

    With all machines connected to one system, production processes can be standardised, improving efficiency and reducing variability.

  • 05

    Consistent, reliable data

    Collecting data from the whole range of machinery gives more accurate and complete analysis and better data-driven decisions.

  • 06

    Maintenance driven by machine data

    Machine data and counters drive preventive maintenance and help anticipate failures, reducing downtime.

  • 07

    Flexible and scalable

    Integration with different types of machinery makes the solution suitable for plants of different sizes and types.

  • 08

    Better product quality

    Bringing all machines into one control system helps maintain consistent quality standards throughout the production cycle.

How machines connect

From the oldest press to the newest cell.

Machine signals become production facts: piece counts, start and stop, process values — linked to the work stage, operator and lot of the moment.

Industrial protocols

Device drivers configured for OPC UA, OPC DA, Siemens S7, Modbus, MTConnect/REST, database (ODBC) and file exchange.

MQTT built in

An MQTT broker in the platform maps topics to signals, actions and process control — and publishes events back.

Signals to actions

A counter can declare quantity; a stop can open a downtime; a value can feed SPC; recipes and parameters can be sent to the machine.

Node-RED flows

For special cases, visual Node-RED flows transform and route data without touching the core.

Machine data across the platform

Once machines are connected, the data they provide is not confined to a single screen. The same real-time information feeds the other parts of Metalya.

  • Production monitoring

    Machine states, stops and quantities update dashboards, shop-floor displays and OEE calculations.

  • Process control

    Process parameters read from the machines are checked against their control limits.

  • Maintenance

    Counters and operating data drive preventive maintenance plans.

  • Planning

    Machine stops and actual progress are taken into account when the production plan is recalculated.
