See what happened between the plan and the P&L, in time to act

Micro-stops, slow changeovers and idle capacity stay hidden until it is too late to change them. That is an operating gap, not a team failure. Guidewheel connects old and new equipment, and guides your team to the next best action.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What automotive manufacturing processes does Guidewheel support?

Guidewheel provides real-time visibility across stamping, machining, molding, coating, assembly, and quality control by monitoring each machine’s electrical signature.

How does it help meet OEM throughput and quality targets?

It surfaces unplanned stops before they derail schedules and gives operators and managers real-time data to hit strict throughput and quality targets.

Does it require integrating with our PLCs or control systems?

No. Sensors connect to each machine's power cable, so the starting configuration need not require a PLC integration; confirm site requirements. Installation is planned around site safety and operating requirements, and validate the state signal on representative old and new machines.

How fast can we get started?

Timing depends on your machines, site access, connectivity and agreed scope. Our team helps plan installation, validate the setup and make the first useful data part of daily decisions.
