Connect what you already have
Measuring gauges, coordinate measuring machines, probes on machines, machine signals and company systems: everything lands in one database. Gauges connect to the tablet straight in the browser, by cable or Bluetooth, with no drivers or extra software on the workstation.
Measurement data from three sources
Dimensions, weight, roughness, ratings. Every result goes into the part control plan, the measurement history and the same control chart, wherever it comes from.
Measuring gauges
Calipers, micrometers, bore gauges, indicators, scales, roughness testers. By cable, USB or Bluetooth: the operator presses the button on the gauge and the value enters the field. Go/no-go gauges and rules are handled as a pass / fail result.
Coordinate measuring machines and external software
Import of data from result files of CMMs, optical comparators and measurement programs. Results go into the part control plan like manual measurements, with the same verdict and history.
Probes and sensors on production machines
Measurements from probes and sensors installed on the machine, imported from result files. The run signal and cycle counter of the same machine go separately, through the gateway.

Before implementation we check the gauge on your own unit. Your gauge is not here? If it sends data through a serial port, USB or Bluetooth, we add a profile as part of the implementation.
Production data: machine signals
The run signal, cycle counter and alarms reach the system through a gateway, without touching the controller program. From that OEE, downtime and changeovers are calculated.
Machine controller
The run signal and cycle counter are read from the machine controller through the DiGi gateway, without touching the machine program.
Added sensor
When the machine has no controller with communication, a cycle sensor and a small input module are enough. We do not touch the machine program.
Operator tablet
No integration at all: the operator records start, stops and pieces. A good way to start a pilot.
Data exchange with ERP and other systems
DiGi is the source of shop floor data. It takes orders and master data from your systems and sends production, quality and batches wherever they are needed.
ERP
Parts, orders, standards and raw material batches into the system; production confirmations, consumption and inspection results back.
Warehouse system (WMS)
Deliveries and batch numbers from the warehouse, product pallets and batch quality statuses back.
Production planning (APS)
The order queue per machine into the system; actual cycle, changeover and downtime times to the planner.
Maintenance (CMMS)
Breakdowns reported by the operator and downtime to service tickets; service windows into the machine calendar.
Reporting and BI
OEE, measurements and events available through API and exports, for your own data warehouse or Power BI.
No more double entry
We agree the scope and method of data exchange with your IT department or system vendor. We start with what gives the most: orders and parts.
- Master data and orders pulled from the system they originate in: ERP or planning
- Production, quality and batches sent wherever they are needed: ERP, warehouse, maintenance, BI
- Exchange through API, files or database views, on a schedule or continuously
- Every integration is agreed individually, depending on the system and its version
