Monitoring Booster

Real-time machine data for predictive maintenance.

Monitoring Booster combines Grafana, Prometheus and OpenTelemetry to give manufacturers full visibility across machines, sensors and IT systems. Monitor live data, detect anomalies early and plan maintenance before failures disrupt production.

Your advantage

Prevent failures before they stop production.

Maintenance used to be reactive: a machine failed, production halted, the team looked for a fix. Monitoring Booster reverses that pattern — technical signals become planning tools that support stable, efficient production.

  • Early anomaly detection

    Spot the first signs of trouble in vibration, temperature or voltage data before they turn into a stoppage.

  • Custom alerts

    Set warning and alarm thresholds for every asset, so the right team is notified at the right moment.

  • Condition visibility

    See which parts wear out faster and under what conditions, and use that evidence when planning replacements.

  • Smarter maintenance planning

    Schedule service exactly when it is needed instead of following a fixed calendar or waiting for a failure.

  • Less unplanned downtime

    Reduce disruption and shorten reaction time by acting on real production signals, not after-the-fact reports.

  • Faster decisions

    Give maintenance and production teams a clear operational picture, available instantly in one place.

Industrial challenges

Why manufacturers struggle without live monitoring.

  • 70%

    No real-time data access

    Most companies still do not use live machine data, which delays every technical and production decision.

  • +40%

    Time-consuming reporting

    Manual report preparation extends the analysis process and burdens already stretched technical teams.

  • Siloed

    Scattered information

    Machine, sensor and IT system data live apart, making root causes and correlations hard to identify.

  • 10×

    Unplanned downtime

    Unplanned stoppages can cost up to ten times more than scheduled maintenance of the same equipment.

How it solves the problem

One view of production. Action before failure.

Instead of reacting after a breakdown, schedule maintenance on real production signals.

  • Complete production overview

    Data from machines, sensors and systems is centralized into one consolidated view of operations.

  • Data-driven decisions

    Real-time and historical readings let teams make informed technical decisions without guesswork.

  • Act before problems escalate

    The system raises alerts at the first sign of deviation, so maintenance can be scheduled proactively.

  • Flexible architecture

    Start with a single dashboard and scale across lines, plants or locations at your own pace.

  • Seamless integration

    Monitoring Booster uses OPC Gateway — no PLC interference and no costly infrastructure changes.

  • IT stability and security

    The solution runs on-premises or in the cloud, aligned with your company security policies.

FAQ

Questions we hear most.

What exactly does Grafana monitoring offer and why is it helpful in production?

Grafana Monitoring provides a centralized, visual interface for real-time monitoring of metrics across machines, infrastructure and applications. Instead of dealing with fragmented data sources, you get a unified view that enables immediate detection of system load, performance issues or potential failures — full transparency across your production process.

What are the advantages of Grafana compared to other monitoring tools?

Grafana stands out for its flexibility, high scalability and intuitive interface, including interactive dashboards and custom visualizations. It is open source, easily extendable via plugins and supports Unified Alerting as a centralized alert management system, so it often outperforms commercial tools in efficiency and adaptability.

How does Grafana integrate with our existing systems?

We begin with a workshop to identify your requirements and use cases. Then, following our 4D model, we connect Grafana to your data sources — such as Prometheus, InfluxDB or log files — and build dashboards and alert rules. The goal is seamless integration into your existing IT/OT environment.

What can we expect during the introductory workshop?

During the workshop you learn the basics of Grafana: connecting data sources, creating dashboards, setting up alerts and modeling use cases. If needed, we also run a short demo or connect your pilot data, so the learning is hands-on and immediately useful.

What are the technical requirements?

You need a data source such as Prometheus, InfluxDB or logs from your production environment, a stable network connection and a server (local or cloud-based). In some cases a metric collection agent, for example Prometheus Node Exporter, or a log aggregator may also be required.

Do you assist with defining dashboards and relevant KPIs?

Yes. We work with you to define key metrics such as system load, response times and error rates, and design dashboards that provide the most value. On request we set threshold alerts, configure notifications and help interpret results in a business or production context.

How do you ensure data security and compliance?

Grafana supports role-based access control, secure authentication and optional encryption. We make sure sensitive data stays local or under your control, and we involve your IT department from the planning stage to align with compliance requirements and internal policies.

How can we prepare our teams to use the solution?

We offer hands-on training for both IT and production teams — from the basics to building dashboards independently. We also support the change process with communication, documentation, operating instructions and feedback rounds.

When is Grafana especially beneficial?

It is especially useful where full visibility of production processes, fast error detection, resource optimization and process monitoring are critical. Clients use it for predictive maintenance, production control and energy or resource usage analysis, often complementing internal control centers or MES systems.
