The digital heart for integration between machines, operators and business systems
LinkMachine Core is the basic module of the LinkMachine platform, designed to connect industrial machines, operators and systems information in a simple, reliable and scalable way.
It is the ideal starting point for companies that want to digitize production flows, collect real data from the field, reduce manual errors and prepare for Industry 4.0 requirements without upsetting the existing infrastructure.
What the Core LinkMachine does
The Core provides the software infrastructure needed to:
Production data collection
- Machine starts and stops
- Machine states and signals
- Production counts and events
Operator interaction
- Guided data entry
- Confirmations and reports
- Operational notes and anomalies
Production flow management
- Recipe change
- Lot change
- Association of data with order or job
Traceability
- Operator activity history
- Timestamp events
- Machine and line involved
Architecture designed for real industry
LinkMachine Core was created for real production environments, where PLC, CNC, HMI panels and machines of different ages coexist and industrial networks that are not always perfect.
The goal is not to create complexity, but make data reliable, available and usable.
- Modular architecture
- On-premise installation
- Operation even without internet connection
- Expandable via dedicated modules
- Compatible with standard industrial hardware
What he doesn't do (intentional choice)
To maintain operational simplicity and stability, the Core does not replace complex ERP system.
- It is not an ERP
- It is not a full enterprise MES
- It does not replace the ERP system
Its role is to connect, to normalize and make field data reliable.
Who is it aimed at?
- Manufacturing SMEs
- Companies with heterogeneous machines
- Integrators and system integrators
- Realities that want to start gradually
- Companies looking for projects that are sustainable over time
Solid foundation for system expansion
The Software Core is the starting point for all LinkMachine modules.
