Track and record your machine line status in real-time including production counts, job info, uptime/downtime causes, and personnel response time automatically with SmithWatch
You can't fix what you can't see.
Most small and mid-size plants still rely on clipboards, operator memory, and end-of-shift guesswork. Downtime goes unrecorded. Bottlenecks go unproven. Accountability stays subjective. Enterprise MES platforms exist — but they cost six figures, take months to deploy, and weren't built for your floor.
Built for every level of the operation
Tier 1 — Per Machine
Tier 2 — Centralized
Tier 3 — Fully Managed
What SmithWatch actually does
Non-invasive sensors detect machine state — running, idle, jogging, overloaded, and more... — every second.
No clipboards. Every transition from running to idle is timestamped and categorized automatically.
Interactive check-in/check-out with departure cause tracking. Know who was on what machine, when, and why they left.
Mean Time To Respond measured precisely through interactive operator acknowledgment — not estimates.
Hourly, daily, and weekly production summaries delivered straight to managers' inboxes. No login required.
Floor operators, supervisors, and executives each see the right data at the right level — no noise.
Built by a manufacturing veteran.
Not a software company.
SmithWatch was created by a Level 3 Manufacturing Technician with 15 years on the floor in food and beverage packaging. Not by consultants guessing at your problems from a conference room.
Every feature exists because it solves a real problem I've lived with — machines going down with no record, operators leaving stations with no accountability, supervisors making decisions on gut feeling instead of data.
The system runs on rugged, affordable hardware purpose-built for plant environments. No enterprise sales cycle. No six-figure contract. Just the data your floor already generates, captured and delivered to the people who need it.
Three steps to visibility
Non-invasive current transducers clamp onto power lines. No wiring changes, no production interruption. Under an hour per machine.
Machine state, operator events, and production metrics stream to your dashboard in real time. Reports land in your inbox on schedule.
See exactly where time and money are lost. Hold the right conversations with the right data. Prove ROI in weeks, not quarters.
Currently accepting pilot partners. If you run 5–50 machines and want visibility without the enterprise price tag, let's talk.
