Muvia Industrial · Industrial IoT

Your machines tell the business what they are doing.

An edge node connects to the PLCs you already have, reads the machines’ signals and brings them to the cloud: stops, energy use, states and alarms. If the network drops, it holds them and sends them when it returns.

  • Siemens S7
  • OPC UA
  • Modbus TCP
  • Also on Raspberry Pi 4
Example of the alarm register after a night shift: the hardening furnace above its threshold for six minutes, taken over by maintenance; a 38-minute press stop, classified as missing material. Two nodes: one online, one on a cellular network.

What changes on the plant floor.

Scenes that happen every week, with the same cause: the machines know what happened, the business does not.

  • The stop found at shift change

    Today the line stops at night and you find out in the morning, rebuilding the cause from memory.

    With Muvia Industrial the PLC reads the stop, with start and end. An alarm tells whoever needs to know, and the register keeps who took it over.

  • The energy bill nobody can split

    Today one bill arrives for the whole plant. What each line uses stays an estimate.

    With Muvia Industrial meters and network analysers are read line by line: energy use split by shift and by part.

  • The batch the customer sends back

    Today to understand how it was made, you cross-check logbooks, sheets and memories.

    With Muvia Industrial every batch has its process history: temperatures, pressures, times. You answer with data.

  • The service call with no data

    Today the technician leaves without knowing how the machine ran and which alarms it raised.

    With Muvia Industrial the machine carries an edge node: service sees what it did and which alarms it raised before even setting off.

From the PLC to the dashboard, in three steps.

  1. 01

    Install the node

    With one command, from a USB stick, or pre-staged. It runs on Debian or Ubuntu, on an industrial PC or a Raspberry Pi 4.

  2. 02

    Connect the machines

    Pick the driver and the signals to read. Signals can be declared before the machine is even installed.

    • Siemens S7
    • OPC UA
    • Modbus TCP
    • SQL Server
    • SEW-Eurodrive
  3. 03

    Use the data

    Wall dashboards on the floor, alarms with a register and ownership, shift reports. Calculations can run on the node, in Python too.

The technical details: drivers, edge node, fleet

If the network drops, the node keeps going.

On a plant floor the connection is not always good. The node is built for that.

It holds the data
When the cloud is unreachable, the node keeps the data and sends it when the network returns.
A console on site
The technician sees and configures the node from the floor, even without the cloud.
Cellular networks too
The node recognises cellular links.
The fleet under control
The state of every node and driver, and an alert when a node goes offline.

For those who run plants and those who build them.

  • Plant and maintenance

    Know what is happening on the line, as it happens.

    • Stops read from the PLC with start and end, the cause classified in the register
    • Alarms with ownership and classification
    • Energy use by line, by shift, by part
  • Machine builders

    Every machine sold, connected.

    • A node on board every machine
    • Each customer has their own company, separate from the others
    • Service follows the whole fleet with a single login

Frequently asked questions

Siemens S7 and OPC UA, read and write; OPC UA also by subscription. Then Modbus TCP, SQL Server tables read at intervals, and SEW-Eurodrive drives. A simulator lets you try it without machines.

Let’s start from one machine.
