Collect shop-floor data directly from machines, PLCs and sensors
Accevo machine connectivity provides a common data layer for mixed equipment fleets. Collect machine states, cycle counts, speed, defects, process values and connection status through PLC drivers, industrial protocols, I/O modules and sensors, then use the data in MES, OEE and production dashboards.

Unterstützung von der Installation bis zum Betrieb
Turn raw machine signals into usable production data
Accevo maps signals from the automation layer to manufacturing events and measures. Older equipment, modern PLCs and additional sensors can feed the same production data collection process.
Connect the source
Use PLC drivers, OPC UA, other industrial protocols, sensors, meters, cameras or I/O modules.
Structure the signal
Convert counters, states and process values into production data with timestamps and equipment context.
Feed factory systems
Use the same trusted source in MES, OEE, machine monitoring and online visualization.
Key benefits of shop-floor data collection
Direct machine data
Replace estimates and delayed manual logs with signals collected at the equipment layer.
Mixed-fleet coverage
Connect different brands, generations and control systems through one IIoT platform.
Reliable production history
Buffer data during connection loss and synchronize it after communication returns.
Build machine data acquisition step by step
Map the asset, select the connection method and validate every signal before rollout.
01
Inventory the equipment
Record machine, controller, available protocols, network access and required data points.
02
Choose the connection
Select a PLC driver, protocol, sensor, data acquisition module or another suitable method.
03
Map and validate signals
Confirm counters, state logic, units, ranges, timestamps and expected machine behaviour.
04
Monitor the data flow
Track connection health, buffer interruptions and expose the data to downstream systems.
Collect the machine data production teams actually use
The objective is not to read every available tag. Accevo identifies the signals needed for production execution, performance monitoring, quality and maintenance, then gives them a consistent equipment context.
Production signals
Collect cycle counters, produced and rejected quantity, cycle time and line speed.
Machine monitoring
Read running, microstop, stop, failure and connection states with timestamps.
Process parameters
Capture values such as weight, pressure, temperature, force and energy consumption.
Protect data continuity at the edge
Machine data collection must continue through temporary network or server interruptions. Accevo monitors connectivity and can buffer collected values for an agreed period before synchronizing them with the central platform.
- Connection status monitoring for every configured source
- Local buffering during temporary communication loss
- Timestamped synchronization after the link returns
- Authentication, encryption and authorized network access
- Consistent source data for MES, OEE and visualization
Connect machines through industrial protocols and hardware
Choose the best available source for each asset instead of requiring one controller standard.

Use machine data across manufacturing systems
One connectivity layer gives production applications the same counters, states and process values.
- MES execution: Update work-order progress and production reports from direct cycle and quantity signals.
- OEE and machine monitoring: Calculate availability and performance from equipment states and cycle times.
- Production dashboards: Show current status, speed and progress on operator panels and shop-floor screens.
Plan shop-floor data collection
Review your machine fleet, controllers, protocols, available signals and network constraints with Accevo. We will identify the right connection method for each asset and map the data needed by MES, OEE and machine monitoring.
Machine connectivity and data collection - FAQ
Shop-floor data collection captures production events and measurements from machines, PLCs, sensors and operators. It structures the data so MES, OEE, dashboards and other manufacturing systems can use it.
Typical data includes cycle and defect counters, cycle time, machine state, line speed, process parameters, energy values and connection status. Availability depends on the equipment and selected connection method.
Examples include OPC UA and DA, Siemens TCP, Allen Bradley, ADS Beckhoff, MTConnect, Heidenhain, Modbus TCP, Ethernet IP, Euromap, OMRON, web services and custom TCP or file interfaces.
Yes. Where a machine does not expose the required data through a modern protocol, Accevo can use I/O modules, sensors, counters, meters or another suitable acquisition method.
Accevo can buffer machine data for a configured period and synchronize it after the connection returns. Connection status is monitored so teams can see a data-source interruption.
Yes. It is the equipment-facing layer that acquires and structures industrial data. Accevo then makes that data available to production execution, performance monitoring and visualization modules.
