Real-time machine monitoring

See every machine on your floor, live.

Digit Machine Monitoring turns live power data into real-time visibility for your facility, so you catch downtime, cut scrap, and keep every machine producing.

What you get

Production visibility, without the guesswork

Everything you need to know what's running, what's stopped, and what it's costing you, updated every ten seconds.

Live kW monitoring per machine

Read live power consumption from every machine on a 10-second refresh. A true pulse of your whole floor at a glance.

Automatic cycle time detection

Cycle times are detected automatically from power spikes. No sensors, no manual entry, no operator input required.

OEE scoring & uptime tracking

Track OEE per machine and uptime across the facility, so you can see exactly where availability and output are slipping.

ERP job sync

Syncs with your ERP to tie active production jobs to machines automatically. Works with any manufacturing ERP, no clipboards, no manual entry.

Mold library with cycle time intelligence

Every mold catalogued with target cycle times mapped against live actuals. No target data from your client? The Professional tier AI learns from historical runs and auto-assigns cycle time benchmarks over time.

Professional tier

Unlock more with Professional

AI-powered scheduling, cost reporting, and root-cause detection layered on top of everything above.

Capacity utilization and job planning

See every machine grouped by tonnage, which are running and which are idle, and get AI-powered recommendations on where to start the next job. Stop guessing at capacity — let the data decide.

Energy cost tracking & reporting

See exactly what every run and every part costs in real energy consumption, not an estimate. Track cost-per-run, cost-per-part, and facility-wide cost trends daily and weekly, down to the individual machine.

Downtime tracking with root-cause tagging

Every stop is detected and classified automatically. System-caused stops are tagged without lifting a finger; real floor stops get one-click reason codes from operators, so you always know not just that a machine stopped, but why.

Live production monitoring, tied to your ERP

See exactly how far every active job is toward its target quantity, on every machine, in real time — automatically synced from production data, no manual updates required.

The hardware

Precision sensors, zero disruption

Digit Machine Monitoring uses revenue-grade split-core current transformer (CT) sensors that clamp non-invasively around your machine's existing power feed — no rewiring, no downtime, no electrician required. Each sensor reads live current draw with revenue-grade accuracy (CAT III/IV rated) and feeds data into the Digit platform every 10 seconds. Sensors come in multiple sizes to fit any machine regardless of wire gauge or current rating, from compact 9mm CTs on smaller equipment to 20mm units on high-draw machines. Everything ships pre-configured and ready to install.

  • Revenue-grade accuracy (CAT III/IV rated)
  • Split-core design — clamps on without cutting wires
  • Multiple CT sizes to fit any machine
  • Supports up to 30 machines per meter
  • Live data every 10 seconds
  • No rewiring, no downtime, no electrician
  • Hardware included in your subscription
How it works

Up and running in an afternoon

Clamp a sensor to your machine

A non-invasive current sensor clips onto your machine's power feed in minutes. No rewiring, no downtime, no electrician required.

Connect to the network

The sensor feeds live power data to your facility's network. No new hardware infrastructure. It just works.

See your floor, live

Your machines appear on the dashboard immediately. Live kW, cycle times, OEE, and ERP job sync, all running within the hour.

Why Digit

You don't need a new ERP to see your floor

Legacy machine monitoring systems require you to replace your entire ERP, spend months on implementation, and pay six figures before a single machine goes live. There's a better way.

Legacy MES / ERP systems

  • Six-figure annual contracts
  • 4 to 9 month implementation
  • Replaces your existing ERP entirely
  • Requires dedicated IT and consultants
  • Months before your first data point
  • Locked into one vendor's ecosystem

Digit Machine Monitoring

  • From $149/machine/month
  • Live the same day
  • Works alongside any existing ERP
  • No IT team required
  • First data point within the day
  • Monthly, quarterly, or annual billing

Same real-time visibility. A fraction of the cost and complexity.

Already using Digit ERP? Machine Monitoring connects to your existing account instantly. New to Digit? Machine Monitoring is the fastest way to get started — and when you're ready for full ERP capabilities, they're already built in.

Before Digit Machine Monitoring, we operated with a pen and a piece of paper. Now I can pull up cycle time from my house and know when a machine is running, when it's not, and how efficient it is.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

We're here to answer your questions.

Learn how Digit works and get started in no time.

How much does Digit Machine Monitoring cost?

Starter and Professional tiers are both billed per machine, per month, with no long-term contract required. See our pricing page for full details on what's included in each tier.

What's the difference between Starter and Professional?

Starter gives you live power monitoring, automatic cycle detection, OEE scoring, and ERP job sync. Professional adds energy cost tracking, downtime tracking with root-cause tagging, live job progress, mold library intelligence, and AI-powered capacity planning.

How long does installation take?

Most facilities are up and running the same day. Clamping sensors to your machines takes minutes, no electrician or downtime required.

Do I need to modify my machines?

No. The sensors are non-invasive and clip onto existing power feeds. Nothing is hardwired or permanently changed.

Does it work with our ERP?

Digit Machine Monitoring syncs with any manufacturing ERP. If your ERP has an API, we can connect to it.

What if a machine isn't running?

The dashboard shows live status for every machine. If something stops unexpectedly, you'll see it immediately.

How does downtime tracking work?

Every stop is detected automatically. System-caused stops, like waiting on a job assignment, are tagged without any input from you. Real floor stops get surfaced to operators for one-click reason tagging, so you always know why a machine was down, not just that it was.

How does energy cost tracking work?

Live power readings are converted into real kWh consumption and tied to your facility's electricity rate, giving you accurate cost-per-run and cost-per-part figures, not estimates. Facility-wide cost trends are available daily and weekly.

Can I upgrade from Starter to Professional later?

Yes. You can move to Professional at any time, and your existing machine data carries over.

Start with your machines. Grow from there.

Get full visibility into your floor today — and when you're ready for inventory, production scheduling, and complete ERP control, it's already waiting for you.
