Live machine monitoring for your plant.
See what started, what stopped, and why.
Operators scan a QR sticker to say why a machine stopped. The machine, its PLC or a PC on the network sends a heartbeat with its status and counts. What Started turns both into a live board, alerts and OEE reports, per machine and per shift.
Free plan, no card needed. In English, Spanish and French.

From a sticker to a live board
- 01
Stick a QR code on the machine
Operators scan it and tap why it stopped. No app, no account, buttons big enough for gloves. Works on any machine, however old.
- 02
Let the machine report
Install the agent on a PC that can reach the PLC, or send pings from anything that can make a web request: Ignition, KEPServerEX, FactoryTalk Optix, Node-RED, a PLC gateway or your own code.
- 03
See it live, get alerts, review the shift
A live board and TV screens, an email when a machine stops or goes quiet, and OEE by machine, shift and day.
The agent reads the PLC for you
Install the agent on any Windows or Linux PC that can reach the machine, such as a line PC, an HMI PC or a Raspberry Pi, and pair it with a code. Out of the box it sends a heartbeat. Add a connection and it reads the machine's status, cycle count, bad parts and readings straight from the PLC, mapped on a setup page in the browser.
- Modbus TCP, OPC UA, ControlLogix, CompactLogix and Siemens S7. Read-only, it never writes.
- Internet down? Readings wait on disk and arrive with the time they were read.
- One PC can report for several machines.
- Outgoing HTTPS only. No firewall ports, no password or API key on the PC.

Reports that answer the morning meeting
Availability and downtime by reason on every plan. Pro adds performance, quality and OEE from cycle counts and scrap.
- Made against target, by machine, shift and part.
- Part runs: what ran, when, and how fast.
- Hour by hour for the shift on the machine page.
- Readings summed up by shift or day, with trend charts up to 30 days.
- Every table downloads as CSV, and the same figures come from the read API.
A screen on the floor
Build as many TV screens as you need, one for the press shop, one for the office, one for the shift meeting. Each screen is saved with its own setup.
- Pick the areas or machines it shows, and the logic that decides which ones are featured.
- Choose what each tile shows: parts per hour, cycles, downtime, readings.
- Show this shift's figures or today's.
- Fit everything on one screen, or split it into pages that rotate.
Open the screen on any TV with a browser and leave it running. It updates as machines change.

What else is in the box
- Alerts
- Email when a machine goes quiet or goes down. Pro adds: stopped making parts during a shift, or a reading left its range.
- Shifts, breaks and areas
- Shift schedules per machine, planned breaks left out of OEE, machines grouped by area on the board and in reports.
- Your data, out
- CSV on every plan. Pro adds the read API (live status and reports) and signed webhooks for your ERP, BI or MES.
- Several plants
- One sign-in for every plant you belong to, with a plant switcher in the top bar.
Start with one machine and a sticker.
Set up a plant, add a machine and print its QR code. It takes a few minutes.
