sfHawk OEE Monitoring captures shop-floor data and calculates real-time Overall Equipment Effectiveness from availability, performance, and quality. It is designed for CNC, VMC, HMC, press, welding, and other production equipment. Dashboards can show OEE by job or machine and be filtered by machine, operator, shift, or part number. Loss analysis breaks downtime down by machine, reason, duration, shift, or production period, and compares actual cycle times with expected times. Vajra and Vajra Lite edge devices collect machine and peripheral data, with edge storage buffering information during internet outages. Vajra Lite supports PLC, MTConnect, OPC UA, IO, and serial connections; the FAQ also names OPC DA, Modbus, MQTT, Ethernet/IP, and Profinet. The system can collect data from ERP, MES, and SCADA systems and inspection data from specified measurement machines. Deployment is available on premises or in the cloud. Its web app works in a modern browser, while sfHawk services require a Windows server. A typical 20–30 machine deployment takes 6–8 weeks. Pricing is on request and depends on connected machines and deployed modules.
