How Smart Factory Works

Smart Factory provides visibility into the manufacturing process through real-time data monitoring. Gather data, gain insights, and make decisions that will improve your factory floor. Track availability, reduce downtime, increase throughput and performance, improve quality and determine root cause, and correlate process data with downtime and scrap, all in real-time with Smart Factory.

Connectivity is simple and straightforward. When you schedule a call with a member of our team to learn more about manufacturing analytics, we will ask a series of questions about your machines to help determine the best method of connectivity, and determine from there, the next steps that need to be taken. Most of the time, manufacturers already have the equipment necessary to connect to the software. It’s that easy! There are three ways we connect your machines to the software:

• Hardware to connect existing controllers or PLCs
• Sensors or wireless nodes to retrofit machines to collect data
• In areas with no machines, an operator can provide data to PC’s or tablets

During the sales process, we will help you figure out the best method to gather data from your machines, lines, or department. We have a variety of solutions to connect to all kinds of equipment. Don’t worry – this a simple process that doesn’t take long. The entire implementation process can take less than 1 day.

We take data security very seriously. All of your data is encrypted in transit and at rest. Our data collection software only has the ability to push out to our software. Nulogy Smart Factory is as secure as your network security today. We run our software in a dedicated public cloud (AWS) environment.

Nulogy Smart Factory is designed with the busy manufacturer in mind – the implementation process is quick and straightforward. A Nulogy engineer and account manager will walk you through the entire implementation process. A typical implementation consists of 3 remote training sessions and 1 on-site visit. Small implementations can be completed in 1 day. A full plant implementation typically takes 2 weeks.

Yes! Nulogy Smart Factory provides a managed integration service (link TK) that connects with most ERP systems. In addition to ERP integration, Nulogy can connect with hundreds of other manufacturing software commonly found in the manufacturing environment.

Nulogy Smart Factory pricing is fixed-fee, tailored to the unique configuration of your factory, exceptionally cost-effective, and very transparent. It is comprised of 3 components:

1. Licensing per site per year
2. Hardware needed to connect the software to your floor
3. Implementation fees

Yes, we have an award-winning, highly-rated mobile app! The app runs on the Apple IoS and Android operating systems using either tablets or phones.
