We live in a world where you can check the weather of any city, the score of any football game, and even start up your car from your phone—so why can’t we get that same instant, automated, and smart visibility into the factory floor? Those blind spots leave huge amounts of money on the table. Guidewheel has found a way to illuminate those blind spots at scale by starting with a simple truth: every machine–regardless of make, model, or age–uses power. We first clip a sensor around the power draw of any machine (like a FitBit™ for Factories) to read the machine’s electrical “heartbeat” and provide an instant, first layer of real-time visibility into your factory floor. No disruption, no months-long deployments, no learning curve. Easily scale and keep a pulse on every factory with a powerful system that gets smarter with every machine added. Then layer on additional sensors and functionality at the pace that works for your team. Bridge the gap to smarter factory operations with Guidewheel AI-Powered FactoryOps.
