Proven inspection rounds on a 3D model of your plant.
MACMONITOR proves every inspection visit with a signed tap at the equipment, checks each reading against the plant's limits, and puts every finding on the equipment the same shift, on a 3D model of your plant.
Tag to control room
An NXP NTAG 424 DNA on-metal tag at each inspection point. Every read is signed with AES-128 and a counter.
A field app on rugged Android phones: readings, checks, photos and notes. Glove-sized buttons, English or Spanish, works offline.
The MACMONITOR server on one plant PC, with no cloud. It checks each tag read and each reading against limits.
Dashboard and 3D view, urgent alerts, work requests for your CMMS, and daily field data to MACDATA.
What MACMONITOR solves
A paper round sheet cannot show that a point was visited, and a hot bearing written on it can take days to reach maintenance.
What it does
- An NFC tap at the equipment proves each check was done
- Readings and photos attached to every check
- Findings shown on a laser-scanned 3D model of the area
- A condition history for every asset
What it catches
- Missed or skipped points: each point needs a tap, and missed points show on the dashboard the same shift
- Rounds filled in from the control room: a copied or replayed tag read fails, and a tag counts only at its own point
- Hot bearings, gearboxes and pinions: readings checked against warning and alarm limits, and red opens a finding with an urgent alert
- Leaks, spillage, seal wear and noise: choice and yes/no checks with a severity, and photos on the finding
- Slow drift in a reading: every reading kept under the asset's plant tag and trended for months
- Findings that never become work: the supervisor acknowledges and raises a work request for the CMMS
What plants get from it
- Proof without paperwork: a signed tag read shows who was at which point, and when
- On the equipment: every visit, reading and photo filed under the plant tag, on a 3D model built from a laser scan
- Built for the crew: rounds work offline and sync at the control room, keeping the time of each tap
- Grows as data: new routes, checks and tags are added with no new software
Secure by design
- Inside the fence: no cloud and no internet at runtime
- It never connects to or writes to the DCS or PLCs
- Keys held by the plant: tag keys stay on the plant server, and the plant owns the certificate authority
- Part of MAC Suite: confirmed findings feed MACDATA, MACDETECT and MACREL
What we need from you
- The target area: kiln, mill or another shop
- Access to the plant's site and network
MACPROTEC supplies the hardware (NFC tags, rugged phones and a server PC if needed) and does the laser scan, all priced in the proposal.
How we work with you
Pilot reviewed at week 12
Your current round sheets, checks and limits, captured in our intake workbook.
Network, Wi-Fi and server location agreed with IT. Tag points walked with the area lead.
We laser-scan the area and build the 3D model, named by plant tag.
Server installed, and tags programmed with plant-held keys, fitted and enrolled.
Inspectors trained, first round verified, pilot reviewed at week 12.
