Capture and analyse machine data
Permanently record and analyse machine and production data in production, shipping logistics and manual workstations - for effective production and permanent process optimisation.
»Capture, visualise and utilise process data in real time to optimise production
Make visible what is actually happening on the shopfloor in order to control operations faster and more reliably.
Analyse production disruptions
Systematically evaluate machine and process data, identify the causes of disruptions and permanently reduce downtime – for stable and efficient production.
Real-time call and notification system
Record machine performance and staff activities in real time, identify deviations early and make production processes more transparent.
Increase productivity
Optimise processes, deploy resources effectively and minimise downtime – for higher output whilst maintaining consistent quality, measurable via performance indicators such as downtime, OEE and order-related KPIs.
✔ Without interfering with the IT infrastructure
✔ SaaS solution: data available from anywhere at any time
✔ Older machines can also be integrated - Plug & Play
✔ Customised configuration options
WeASSIST Features
Gain a solid basis for data-driven decisions with process data acquisition. Analyse trends, identify potential for improvement and implement targeted measures to increase efficiency.
A quick start with WeASSIST
Transceivers and Andon boxes report the status of machines and workstations right to the software via the gateway. Problems are immediately visible and process optimisations can be derived permanently via analyses.
WeASSIST Transceiver
24V signals from machines or manual workstations indicate the status on the signal tower and transmit this status wirelessly to the gateway via the integrated transceiver.
WeASSIST Gateway
The gateway receives the status of all transceivers on site wirelessly and sends it to the WeASSIST software (Microsoft Azure Cloud) via Ethernet.
WeASSIST Software
The cloud-based software displays the status of machines and workplaces via individual dashboards – easily selectable as a no-code platform.
WeASSIST
Web App
Your production data and analyses can be accessed via any end device (browser-based or via iOS and Android app for mobile devices). The Active Directory also ensures that central authentication and authorisation remains in your hands.

Typical challenges
in production and logistics
Typical situation: Machine downtime is often only detected once backlogs have already built up or someone happens to pass by.
With WeASSIST: All relevant machines and workstations at a glance – in real time. Downtime is detected immediately.
Benefits:
- Live status (running / stopped / fault)
- Transparency across lines and areas
- Prioritization of the most critical interventions
Typical situation: The cause of downtime can only be described vaguely. A proper root-cause analysis is hardly possible.
With WeASSIST: Downtime is recorded and evaluated by cause, duration, and frequency.
Benefits:
- Recording of downtime and causes
- Analysis by line, shift, or time period
- Pareto analyses instead of assumptions
Typical situation: Data is stored in Excel files, shift logs, or individual knowledge – incomplete and unstructured.
With WeASSIST: Centralized shopfloor and production data – standardized and traceable.
Benefits:
- Single, consistent data base
- No isolated Excel solutions
- Up-to-date figures instead of estimates
Typical situation: Maintenance notifications are often informal or overlooked. Maintenance is only involved once downtime has escalated.
With WeASSIST: Clearly defined response logic with call-for-action and acknowledgement and escalation (if necessary).
Benefits:
- Targeted triggering of incidents
- Binding acknowledgements with clear responsibilities
- Faster response times, fewer escalations
Typical situation: Different figures, definitions, and data sources make solid decisions difficult.
With WeASSIST: A shared, fact-based view of performance and losses.
Benefits:
- Standardized KPIs (e.g., downtime, OEE, trends)
- One consistent data set for all stakeholders
- Less discussion, more decisions
Typical situation: After measures are implemented, it remains unclear whether things actually improved.
With WeASSIST: Changes become measurable over time.
Benefits:
- Before/after comparisons
- Analyses across days, weeks, and shifts
- Objective evaluation of measures
- Clear decision basis for next steps
Typical concern: New systems mean effort, downtime, IT coordination, and long implementation phases.
With WeASSIST: WeASSIST is retrofit-capable and designed for a gradual rollout without a major project.
Solution:
- Retrofit instead of rebuild
- Suitable for pilots on individual lines or areas
- Scalable from first deployment to full rollout
- Create value with 1-2 days
