Machine Monitoring - Wireless
PROCESS OPTIMIZATION SYSTEMS FROM WERMA USA
WeASSIST – Process optimization in one minute. Keep an eye on your business at all times – digitally and in real time. WeASSIST helps you to identify problems before they arise. WeASSIST turns networking into an advantage and makes Industry 4.0 reality.
WeASSIST is Werma’s evolution of the tried and true SmartMonitor technology bringing their machine monitoring solution into the world of mobile data. Now instead of needing direct access to your onsite data plant floor data from a connected PC at your facility, the WeAssist platform moves your plant floor information to the cloud meaning you can access it via a mobile phone, tablet, or other connected device.
Werma’s technologies represent modern industry’s smartest solutions for factories needing to get data out of existing machines.
WeASSIST enables notification-based alerts on mobile devices to inform operators and managers on:
- Machine errors and downtime
- Create and manage machine categories
- Material resupply requirements
- Productivity reporting by machine, by area, by building, and more
The WeASSIST solution’s subscription model and cloud-based technology frees your plant floor data from the restrictions your company’s IT department might impose. With secure communications between machine-mounted Werma WeASSIST Transmitters mounted at the machine (typically mounted with Werma KOMBISign72 signal towers, but also compatible with many other brands) and a Werma WeASSIST Gateway to manage the data connection to the cloud.

SmartMONITOR – For more than 12 years, SmartMonitor has been industry’s solution for factories needing the most efficient solution possible to get data out of existing machines. SmartMONITOR is the clever MDE alternative for manufacturing companies who don’t want to invest months and/or hundreds of thousands of dollars to gain real insight into their machines’ actions.
- Identify and document errors and unproductive times more quickly
- Shorten response time and avoid downtime — event-driven and time-driven escalation of downtime event notifications (text messages, email, computer alerts)
- Highlight opportunities for improving processes and productivity using reports
The SmartMONITOR solution relies on secure communications between Werma WIN Transmitters mounted at the machine (typically mounted with Werma KOMBISign72 signal towers, but also compatible with many other brands) and Werma WIN Receivers attached to a Windows 10 PC where the WERMA-WIN software is installed.
How many elements can be monitored per WIN transmitter?
Up to 4 stacklight elements per WIN transmitter can be monitored (or up to 8 with the help of the blinking recognition states).
SmartMONITOR from Werma
Werma’s SmartMONITOR is a solution like no other available today. Imagine going from a wide variety of machines on your plant floor that are all islands to themselves — they each create some data about operations, but the data stops there. Your plant simply does not have an overall database to allow intelligent management.
- Do you need a system to not only inform you when unproductive machine states happen but to also automatically document and measure them?
- Can you imagine a system that can nearly instantly transform a collection of machines from all over the world into a comprehensive, efficient, and most importantly MANAGEABLE production process?
- Do your machines today have the ability to identify hidden potential in production, logistics, or mail-order retail – whether at manual workstations, shipping workstations, or in automated production?
If the answer to any of these questions is yes, then your production plant needs to see a demo of Werma’s SmartMONITOR – the smart solution for factories. SmartMONITOR is the clever MDE alternative for manufacturing companies who don’t want to invest months and tens of thousands of dollars to gain real insight into their machines’ actions.
