It consists of a data capturing device and cloud-based software that can be used to track and monitor machines and operators. ThingTrax Smart Gateway device connects to machine PLCs to collect and send machine data to the Cloud. The ThingTrax cloud then uses inbuilt machine learning and artificial intelligence algorithms to detect anomalies in machine and motor operations.
