Industrial IoT & Data Systems
MQTT-connected machine monitoring, real-time OEE dashboards, and production data integration — built from the ground up for your floor.
Scheduling & Visibility
Gantt-based job scheduling, shift planning, and live production visibility — so supervisors always know what's running, what's next, and what's behind.
Smart Factory Visibility Platform (SFVP)
A full-stack factory monitoring system — live machine status, OEE tracking, job scheduling, quality logs, and production dashboards — deployed on your local infrastructure.
SFVP connects directly to your machines via plug-and-play SFVP-compatible devices. Supervisors and operators get real-time visibility into every machine's status — running, idle, fault, or offline — no complex integrations, no cloud dependency.
Built for injection molding, extrusion, and mixed machine fleets. Displays on office TVs, supervisor workstations, and operator kiosks — all from a single local server.
What SFVP Helps Teams Do
- Monitor every machine's status in real time across the entire plant floor
- Track output, OEE, idle time, fault conditions, and offline machines automatically
- Schedule jobs with a Gantt view — plan shifts, assign jobs, and see the full week ahead
- Display plant performance on office TVs and operator kiosks, auto-updated live
- Log quality events, scrap counts, and production targets per job
- Export shift reports, OEE summaries, and maintenance data as CSV
🏭 Runs On-Site, Not the Cloud
Deployed on a local mini PC on your network. No internet dependency, no subscriptions — your data stays on your floor.
📡 MQTT Machine Connectivity
Plug-and-play SFVP devices connect to your machines and stream live data. Works with injection molding machines, extruders, and more.
📅 Full Job Scheduling Built In
Gantt-based scheduling with Week, Day, and Month views. Assign jobs to machines, set targets, and track completion in real time.
📊 OEE, Quality & Reports
Built-in OEE calculation, scrap tracking, quality logs, and shift reporting — one platform for the whole operation.
Know Exactly What's Happening —
And What's Coming Next
SFVP isn't just live monitoring. It gives supervisors a complete scheduling system so the right jobs run on the right machines at the right time — and everyone can see it.
Drag & Drop + Auto Scheduling
Plan your production week visually. Drag and drop jobs across machines or let SFVP auto-schedule them based on machine availability, job priority, and cycle time. The system fills your schedule intelligently — you just confirm and run.
Live Machine Status Visibility
Every machine reports its current state — Running, Idle, Fault, Setup, or Offline — the moment it changes. No more walking the floor to find out why a machine stopped. Supervisors see everything from one screen.
TV Wall & Operator Kiosks
A large-format wall display for your shop floor TV shows the full machine grid, active jobs, and shift targets at a glance. Operator kiosks let floor workers see their current job, part count, and next steps — no paper traveler needed.
Job Completion Banners & Alerts
When a job completes or a machine goes into fault, the wall display automatically highlights it. Supervisors get instant visual alerts — reducing response time and keeping production flowing.
Real-Time Pager Alerts from Kiosk
Operators can trigger real-time alerts directly from the kiosk — machine fault, quality issue, material shortage, or job complete. Supervisors receive instant push notifications on any device on the network, keeping the floor connected without anyone leaving their station.
Stack Light Vision Optional
SFVP can optionally monitor physical stack lights (andon towers) using a vision sensor. It reads the red / yellow / green state of each machine's signal tower and maps that directly to machine status — no PLC wiring needed. Perfect for older machines with no digital output.
Shift & Daily Reports
At the end of every shift, SFVP generates a production summary: parts made, OEE by machine, downtime events, and scrap totals. Export to CSV for your ERP or review on-screen with your team.
Everything Connected,
Everything Visible
SFVP is a complete factory operations platform — not a dashboard bolt-on. Here's what's inside.
Machine Connects
Plug-and-play SFVP devices attach to your machines and publish live data via MQTT to a local broker on your network.
Data Processed
The SFVP backend (Flask/SQLite) processes every message — calculating OEE, cycle times, fault events, and part counts automatically.
Dashboards Update
React dashboards refresh in real time. Supervisor screens, the TV wall, and operator kiosks all update within seconds.
You Take Action
Supervisors schedule jobs, log quality events, respond to alarms, and export reports — all from one place, no paper needed.
Machine Connectivity
Real-time data from your production floor via plug-and-play SFVP devices — no proprietary PLC integration required.
- Injection molding machines
- Extruders & extrusion lines
- CNC, press, and packaging machines
- Plug-and-play monitoring devices — no custom hardware needed
Drag & Drop + Auto Scheduling

- Drag & drop jobs across machines and shifts
- Auto-schedule by priority, due date & capacity
- Week, Day, and Month Gantt views
