Not at the end of the shift. Not in tomorrow's report.
Right now — every cycle counted, every downtime logged,
every line performing as per plan.
This is what IndusWorks makes possible.
For any machine. Any factory. No PLC integration required.
Your shift supervisor spends the first part of his morning collecting numbers from the floor, reconciling them against what the machine operators recorded, and entering it all into a format someone upstairs can read. By the time it's done, it's already outdated. And it's been wrong before — production targets hit on paper that weren't hit on the floor.
A machine stops for 20 minutes. The operator restarts it and moves on. It doesn't make it into any report because it wasn't "significant." Add those up across three shifts and 10 machines and you've lost a shift worth of output every week — invisibly.
You're in a meeting, or on a customer call, or at another plant. Something isn't right on the floor. You find out hours later, sometimes the next day. By then the batch is done, the shift is over, and there's nothing to do but absorb the loss.
PLC access. Modbus register maps. OPC-UA. Ethernet across the floor. You've had the conversations. You've gotten the quotes. The integration work alone is a six-month project and a number that's hard to justify. So it stays on the list.
IndusWorks is a Manufacturing Execution System built for factories that don't have enterprise infrastructure — and don't want to build it just to get production visibility.
A compact device that mounts on any industrial machine and reads its output using raw sensor pulses. No PLC access. No new cabling. No changes to the machine. Connects over your existing WiFi and starts sending cycle data immediately.
Live production counts, machine status, shift performance, and OEE — for every machine, from any device. What it replaces: the clipboard, the spreadsheet, the morning report, and the guesswork.
The Smart Cycle Counter is installed on each machine by your team. No electrician. No IT support. No machine downtime. If the machine has a proximity sensor or any pulse output, the device reads it.
The device finds your network, authenticates, and begins transmitting. You open the IndusWorks dashboard and see your first live cycle counts within minutes of installation.
Real shift output by machine. Actual downtime events — including the 15-minute stops that never made it into any report. Machine utilisation rates you can act on, not just discuss.
You know which machine is consistently underperforming. You know which shift has the highest unplanned stoppages. You know your actual OEE, not the estimated one. Decisions that used to be based on gut or lagging reports are now based on data that's a few seconds old.
We work with factories where the output can be measured in cycles — and where visibility into those cycles has been missing.
Median time from device delivery to all machines live on the platform.
Unplanned downtime reduction within the first 90 days across deployed plants.
36 via Smart Cycle Counter + 22 via PLC integration across active deployments.
If it has a sensor output, we've connected it. No exceptions across all deployments.
IndusWorks was built by engineers who have spent time in and around Indian manufacturing — not studying it from a distance, but working inside the problem.
We've seen what happens when enterprise software gets sold to a factory that doesn't have an IT department. We've watched MES implementations stall for six months because no one could get PLC access approved. We've heard plant managers describe their production tracking system and watched them pull up a Google Sheet.
We built IndusWorks because the problem isn't that manufacturers don't want visibility — it's that every solution available assumed infrastructure and resources that most manufacturers simply don't have. The Smart Cycle Counter exists because we couldn't find a hardware solution that worked without PLC integration. So we built one.
We are not a software company that decided manufacturing was an interesting market. We are a manufacturing technology company. The difference matters — and if you've dealt with the other kind, you already know why.
If you're considering IndusWorks, the most useful thing we can do is understand your specific situation before we talk. Tell us about your plant and we'll come back to you within one business day — with a response that's actually relevant to your operation.
