Industrial monitoring softwareMicroBusiness Applications

CNC monitoring.
A clearer view.

Monitor machines with OPC UA, FANUC FOCAS, MQTT, MTConnect, Modbus TCP, Siemens S7 and EtherNet/IP. Tracer collects data on Windows and displays charts and history in a private web portal.

Features

Less scattered data.
More insight into production.

From a machine reading to a chart in your browser. Follow what matters without losing the context.

01 /

Data, at the source.

Read machine status, programs, counters and variables available on the control. You choose what to monitor.

02 /

Real-time charts

Select the variables to keep under control and view their trend over time in clear charts, ready to share.

03 /

The right access for each role.

Customers see their own machines. Assessors view their assigned companies. All through a private account.

01 /

Machines and variables in one cockpit.

Choose a machine, inspect available values and select the variables to monitor.

02 /

Track variables over time.

View trends for selected variables, choose the reading interval and pause monitoring.

03 /

MQTT configuration

Set up the broker, TLS, credentials and topic filter. Read simple values and JSON fields.

04 /

MTConnect configuration

Connect an HTTP/HTTPS agent, browse DataItems and set the current-value polling interval.

05 /

Configuration Modbus TCP

Coils and registers · FC01–04 · map and byte order. The new protocols require a register, address or tag map. No write commands.

06 /

Configuration Siemens S7

Absolute DB/I/Q/M addresses · classic S7 access. The new protocols require a register, address or tag map. No write commands.

07 /

Configuration EtherNet/IP

Logix tags and CIP attributes · explicit reads. The new protocols require a register, address or tag map. No write commands.

Protocols

Start with
your machines.

Tracer connects to the shop-floor network and reads variables from compatible controls. The Windows software collects data; the web portal makes it accessible.

Compatibility depends on the control and protocols enabled on the machine. Let's check it together.

How it works

From your company network
to monitoring, in three steps.

01

Automatic network analysis

Install Tracer on Windows. Scan for OPC UA and FANUC or manually configure the other protocols.

02

Variable selection

Choose which production, operating or energy consumption variables to monitor for each machine.

03

See it on the web

Sign in to view machines, charts and historical readings, even away from the shop floor.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Which CNC machines can I monitor?

Tracer supports OPC UA, FANUC FOCAS, MQTT, MTConnect, Modbus TCP, Siemens S7 and EtherNet/IP. Configure a broker and topics for MQTT, or an agent URL for MTConnect. Available data depends on the machine and source. Contact us to check compatibility.

How does data collection work?

The Windows application connects to machines on the shop-floor network. Choose the variables and upload interval, then access charts and historical readings in your private web area.

Is there a free version?

Yes. The Basic licence is free, has no expiry date and lets you start with up to 3 machines. The Professional plan is available for larger projects.
