sfHawk OEE Monitoring
sfhawk.com
What it is
sfHawk OEE Monitoring is production software for manufacturers and industrial enterprises. It automatically captures shop-floor data and calculates real-time Overall Equipment Effectiveness from availability, performance, and quality. The system is intended for CNC, VMC, HMC, press, welding, and other production equipment. Dashboards provide job- and machine-level OEE views 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 values. 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, serial, OPC DA, Modbus, MQTT, Ethernet/IP, and Profinet connections. sfHawk can connect with ERP, MES, SCADA, and listed inspection systems. It runs on premises or in the cloud, with a browser application and Windows server requirement. Pricing is on request.
