Machine & Robot Monitoring for the Factory Floor
Beacon Onshore clamps a wireless sensor on any machine — CNC, press, or robot arm, brand new or thirty years old — and shows you live run / idle / down state, true utilization, OEE, and why a machine stopped. No PLC integration. No shop-floor IT project. Running in an afternoon.

Clamp on the sensor
Magnet or zip-tie to the spindle, motor, or frame — about 10 minutes per machine.
It reads the machine
Vibration and motion tell it run / idle / off. Data streams to the cloud over wifi or a cellular gateway.
You see the floor
Live state, utilization, OEE, and a downtime Pareto — from any browser, on the plant floor or off it.
Real Sensor Data, Not a Concept
This isn't a pitch-deck mockup. The full pipeline — clamp-on sensor, field gateway, ingest API, live dashboard — is real, deployed infrastructure you can open right now, not a demo video recorded once and replayed.
A Real Ingest Pipeline
Sensor data streams through a verified API endpoint into a live dashboard — the same production route every deployed gateway actually uses today.
Works Behind Any Firewall
The field gateway only ever makes outbound calls to Onshore's cloud — no VPN, no port-forwarding, no IT project to get it on an unfamiliar network.
Open It Yourself
The live console is a real, running product at beacon.onshoresystems.ai — click through and see actual machine state, not a screenshot.
Built on Our Own Infrastructure
Same production stack Onshore runs its own platforms on — this wasn't stood up specifically to demo well.

The sensor, the gateway, the dashboard — every piece on this page is something we can size and quote for your actual machine mix this week, not next quarter.

Live machine state
Every asset on one screen — running, idle, faulted, or off — refreshed continuously.
Real utilization & OEE
The figure you're estimating today, measured: availability × performance × quality, per asset and per shift.
Downtime Pareto
Stoppages ranked by cause and lost hours, so the biggest losses surface first.
Robots as first-class assets
Arms and AMRs monitored the same way — state, cycles, faults, e-stop — read-only, never commanded.
Alerts on unplanned stops
Know a line went down when it happens, not at the end of the shift.
Mixed floor, one view
Any brand, any age, in a single dashboard. New equipment is added as data, not a migration.
Why it's different
- Works on any machine regardless of age or brand — if it vibrates when it runs, Beacon reads it
- Nothing wired into the controller — no PLC tags, no OPC-UA project, no vendor lock
- Installs in minutes per machine, not a multi-month rollout
- Tier-1 monitoring only — motion, safety, and e-stop stay entirely with your certified controller
- Built and operated by Onshore Systems on the same production infrastructure that runs our own platforms
Who it's for
Logistics & 3PL
Warehouses running robot arms and AMRs that need a vendor-neutral view of fleet state and uptime.
Job shops & small manufacturers
Mixed, older equipment and no appetite for a plant-wide IoT project.
Ops leaders
Anyone who can't get a straight answer on true machine utilization — or whose last MES/IoT effort stalled on integration.
