The problem

Most plants do not know how long each machine really runs. Supervisors walk the floor, operators report from memory at shift end, and idle time hides inside production hours. Owners see output at the end of the day but cannot see why it fell short.

The sensor

A clamp-on current sensor (CT) or a signal tap from the machine's tower light detects whether the machine is running, idle or stopped. It installs without opening the control panel, works on old and new machines, and needs no PLC or machine manufacturer support. A small node sends the status to the Poldu Edge Gateway every few seconds.

Best for

Fasteners, forging, CNC and machining, plastics, textiles, packaging, foundries and any plant with motors or powered machines.
