Manual production counts are prone to clerical errors and reporting delays. Industrial IoT sensors connected to sewing motor drives and cutting tables feed real-time needle strokes, runtimes, and electrical power states directly into the ERP, calculating live Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) and operational efficiency.
Relying on floor workers to mark tally sheets takes attention away from production and produces inconsistent numbers. Connecting machine telemetry directly to the central database provides objective, sub-second visibility into factory performance.
Microcontroller sensors monitor sewing motor pulse signals. When an operator runs a stitch line, the sensor measures active stitching seconds versus idle fabric positioning time, streaming data directly to Werkora's shop-floor engine via MQTT protocols.
Sudden spikes in motor current or abnormal machine vibration trigger automated maintenance work orders before drive belts snap, preventing costly mid-shift line disruptions.
Werkora equips every shop-floor supervisor, line operator, storekeeper, and accountant with their own dedicated login with plans sized for your operation.
Yes. Inexpensive external current-clamp sensors and optical pulse encoders can be installed on older machines to monitor runtimes and motor cycles.
By monitoring real-time piece completion times across workstations, enabling supervisors to identify and assist slow operations before bottlenecks develop.
