Production monitoring + maintenance
Live production monitoring and preventive maintenance, from the data your machines already write.
Tuotera Monitoring
Status, progress, cycle time, downtime and quality in one shared view.
Running, stopped, setup or out of contact, in the same colours everywhere.
The cell overview lists every production cell with its current work order, status, progress, expected completion and the next job in its queue. The monitoring grid keeps each machine in a fixed place, and full-screen mode turns it into a shop-floor display.
Plan each machine's queue and follow planned versus produced quantity.
Work orders carry the product, ordered quantity, cell, tool, cavity count and planned cycle time. The list opens in machine-queue order: each cell's running job first, then its queue. Planners drag waiting jobs into a new order, and nothing is saved until they confirm.
Actual cycle time per mould cycle; red when over 2 % slower.
Actual cycle time is the machine's run time divided by its mould cycles, the same unit as the planned cycle time, so the two compare directly. The work order's production statistics show planned and actual cycle time, ordered, good and rejected quantities, and running and stopped hours.
Operators log setup, cleaning, fault or waiting from cell control.
From cell control, operators register what the cell is doing when it is not producing: installation, maintenance, cleaning, setup, fault, waiting or another activity. Activities appear on the work order's timeline and in activity reports by work order and by cell.
Checks on the running job; rejects split into setup and run scrap.
Inspectors record a check against the cell's running work order. Ticking All OK is enough when everything is fine; a deviation gets a written note. Tuotera stores both who inspected and who entered the check.
Run time, shift time and free capacity per cell and shift.
The machine utilisation report shows, per cell and per day, how long the machine ran, the span from first start to last stop, the shift time and the free capacity that remains. Shifts are set per cell with effective dates, so changing a cell's shifts never rewrites the past.
Work-order reports for the whole order, per day or per shift.
Download any work order as a PDF report, for the whole order or split by day or by shift. The report carries your own logo, uploaded once in the settings, and lists the quality checks made against the order.
Imports the CSV files your data loggers already write. No machine changes.
Each data logger writes its readings, such as stop signal, mould counter and reject counter, into CSV files on an FTP server. Tuotera picks them up automatically and matches each file to its cell by the logger's ID.
Tuotera Maintenance
Plan by calendar or real production; track orders, parts and tools together.
Each asset with interval, duration, safety notes, parts and tools.
Assets are organised by production cell. Each one carries its maintenance interval, expected duration, safety notes and the spare parts and tools its maintenance usually needs, so the right items are suggested when an order is planned.
By calendar interval, or by strokes and pieces from production.
Some maintenance belongs on the calendar; some depends on how hard a machine or mould has worked. Calendar plans fall due a set interval after the last execution. Production rules read cumulative stroke or piece counters from monitoring and raise an order when the interval is reached.
Preventive, corrective, inspection and calibration orders with a clear status flow.
Each order covers one asset and moves through New, Planned, In progress, Completed and Closed, or Cancelled. Every step is its own permission, so planners, technicians and managers each get the right access. Activities are checked off as OK, Not OK or Needs attention, with comments and photo or PDF attachments.
Reusable maintenance tasks with their parts and tools, shared across assets.
Define a maintenance activity once, such as cleaning a mould or testing a safety circuit, together with the spare parts and tools it needs. Attach it to every asset that uses it, in the order the work is done. When an order is planned, the asset's activities are copied onto it, so later changes to the library never rewrite past orders.
Stock kept as a ledger of movements. It never goes negative.
Spare-part stock is not a number someone overwrote. It is the sum of recorded receipts, issues, returns, consumption and adjustments, so every change can be traced and the balance can never drop below zero.
Location, status and checkouts: see which tools are free.
Keep every tool with its type, quantity, storage location and status: active, in maintenance or archived. A tool checked out to a maintenance order shows as in use until it is returned, and the return closes the checkout without erasing it from the history.
Better together
Start with monitoring and add maintenance when you are ready.
Production counters raise maintenance orders when the interval is reached.
Monitoring counts mould cycles and pieces per cell. Maintenance rules read those cumulative counters, so a service due every so many strokes is raised from real production, not from an estimate. If the production data cannot be read, the counter simply does not move, so no wrong order is raised. Calendar-based plans keep working alongside.
A cell is producing or under maintenance, never both.
Maintenance cannot move to In progress while a work order on that cell is started or in installation, and a work order cannot start while maintenance on the cell is in progress. The rule works in both directions and applies to the asset's current cell. Paused and waiting work orders do not block maintenance.
Production, downtime, quality and maintenance stay with the same cell.
Production figures, downtime and activities, quality checks and completed maintenance all stay connected to the same cell. When you need to decide whether a machine needs attention, or find out why a job ran slow, the whole story is already in one place instead of spread across separate systems. The same records serve supervisors and the maintenance team alike.

FAQ
Tuotera is browser-based software for manufacturing that combines production monitoring (MES) and preventive maintenance. Monitoring shows the live status of every production cell and work order; maintenance plans and tracks maintenance orders, spare parts and tools.
Tuotera is built for plants that run machine cells against work orders, such as plastic injection moulding. It serves production managers, planners, operators, quality inspectors and maintenance teams.
Usually not. Tuotera imports the CSV files your machines' data loggers write to an FTP server, so machines with loggers need no changes. If yours have none, contact us and we will go through the options.
Changes made in Tuotera, such as starting a work order or logging an activity, appear on other screens immediately. Machine figures update as soon as each data logger's file arrives and has been checked as complete.
Tuotera reports machine utilisation rather than a full OEE figure. The utilisation report shows run time, the span from first start to last stop, shift time and free capacity per cell and day, alongside cycle time against plan and rejects.
Actual cycle time is the machine's run time divided by its mould cycles, the same unit as the planned cycle time. It shows green when at most 2 % slower than plan and red when slower than that.
Yes. Maintenance rules can use strokes or pieces counted by production monitoring, so an order is raised when an asset has actually produced its service interval. Calendar-based plans are supported too, and both are checked every 15 minutes.
Your administrators do. Every function sits behind a permission, roles such as planner, operator or maintenance technician get only what they need, and every protected action is checked on the server.
