OPC UA Integration

Your Machines Talk Directly to Your ERP

OPC UA is the industrial standard for machine-to-software communication. MonitorZ reads live data from every press — no manual entry, no delay, no guesswork.

Live Process Parameters

Barrel temperatures, injection pressure, hold pressure, screw position, and cycle time streamed in real-time from the press controller — no PLC programming required.

Plug-In Machine Compatibility

Works with Engel, Arburg, Husky, Milacron, and other OPC UA-enabled presses out of the box. Retrofit adapters available for older machines.

Automatic SPC Alerts

Statistical Process Control limits run continuously. When a parameter drifts, operators are alerted instantly — before a bad shot becomes a bad batch.

Machine Detail View

Every Press. Every Cavity. Every Shot.

Drill into any individual machine to see its complete operational picture — cavity performance, SPC charts, upcoming schedule, and quality outcomes all on one screen.

Cavity-Level Production
See shot counts, reject rates, and output per cavity — not just per machine. Instantly identify a single bad cavity before it contaminates a run.
SPC Trend Charts
Xbar-R and Cpk charted live for key process parameters. Control limits are set per job so alarm thresholds match your process window.
Integrated Job Schedule
The machine's queue is visible right on its detail screen — current job, next job, estimated completion, and changeover time all in one place.
Quality Checkpoints
First-piece inspection results, in-process sampling, and final QC are all timestamped and linked to the specific shot range — making PPAP prep automatic.
OEE Breakdown
Availability, Performance, and Quality components broken down by shift, operator, and job. Tap any bar to see which downtime codes drove the loss.

The interactive demo above is powered by the same MonitorZ UI your operators will use on day one. Click the Machine Detail tab and explore any press.

"The cavity-level visibility alone paid for the system in the first month. We caught a worn cavity pin before it produced 40,000 rejects. That's a $120,000 save."
