Why Scout?
Production control

All kinds of machines
For the most popular CNC machines and PLCs, no electrical modifications: the data comes directly from the controller. Conventional machines are connected with the BIOS-IO-01 module.

Customer reviews
Over 1,900 machines for over 130 customers are monitored in Scout every day.
The clear interface lets you follow the current status of all machines. The extensive mechanism for collecting data from machines allows the monitored parameters to be adapted to the customer, and so makes it easier to take decisions on production optimisation.
Mariusz LencSkraw-Mech
A great tool with plenty of possibilities. It lets us monitor the state of our machines and react immediately to any problems. The reports and summaries are very useful for us: they show efficiency, machine idle times, alarm history and even the history of programs run. Another big advantage is the support and the constant improvement of the product, in line with what customers expect.
Aleksander AsłamowiczKuźnia Jawor S.A.
Scout collects information from the machines automatically and saves it in a database. I can finally throw away my pen. No more copying values by hand – everything is a few clicks away.
Tomasz KalinowskiBAMET
Above all, Scout is easy to use and effective at collecting the data we expected. The online view means we can access it from anywhere in the world. In our case, Scout helped us spot inefficiencies and bottlenecks.
