FAQs
With rising production demands, unpredictable downtime, and limited manpower, Chennai-based factories are rapidly adopting PLC remote monitoring systems to stay in control.
Whether you’re in industrial automation, manufacturing, or water treatment, remote monitoring of your PLC-driven operations ensures that supervisors, managers, and maintenance teams can see and act on live machine data from anywhere—web or mobile.
✅ Instant alerts during equipment failure
✅ Zero downtime visibility even on night shifts
✅ Real-time metrics from multiple facilities
✅ Empowered field teams with mobile access
✅ Preventive maintenance with data trends
From Guindy and Ambattur to Sriperumbudur and Oragadam, Chennai’s industrial belt is embracing smart systems to enhance efficiency and cut losses.
No internet at the machine level
Legacy PLCs with RS485 output only
Operators manually noting readings in logbooks
Managers blind to machine utilization
Missed alerts due to lack of centralized data view
These problems lead to expensive breakdowns and lost productivity.
PLC: Collects analog/digital data from sensors
Gateway (ESP32/SIM800L): Reads data over Modbus RTU/TCP
Communication: Sends data via MQTT or HTTP
Backend API: Stores and processes readings
Dashboard/App: Displays machine health, trends, and alerts
Whether wired or wireless, we ensure data is captured, transmitted, and displayed without delay.
✅ Real-time data stream from PLCs
✅ Multi-plant, multi-device visibility
✅ Alerts via push, SMS, or email
✅ Offline support with auto-sync
✅ Mobile & desktop dashboards
✅ Custom reports (daily/weekly/monthly)
✅ Role-based access control
