What type of machine(s) or human-led production would you like to monitor?
Which signals are you looking to track (utilisation, production count, line speed, energy etc)?
Provide HD quality images of the machine cabinet(s) can also be helpful.
What are your expectations for implementing production monitoring?
What’s the key result that you would like to see to make Busroot an integral part of your production process and reporting?
Here is a link to the we ask you to fill out so we can evaluate compatibility and the hardware we need to send you.
to a document that needs to be completed by the person that will be installing the hardware. The information required at this stage is:
Internet status (please see additional notes at bottom of this email)
For each machine (serial no, machine name and power supply)
Signal source(s) for each machine
Will our hardware require Whitelisting (IT team)?
Once this information has been sent to us in the work order form format, we will confirm compatibility and prepare the hardware for installation. Please confirm the address and who we should address the package to.
We have prepared a guide to help you complete the machine information requested .
To check the WiFi signal it is best to stand next to each machine and use one of the following apps to monitor signal strength
If your in-house maintenance/engineering team will complete the installation please let us know the installation date. Alternatively, we will liaise with you for a suitable date for one of our partners to visit.
The remaining fields of the work order form should be completed during the installation and shared with your Busroot contact when completed.
Once the installation is complete. We will setup your Busroot platform and schedule a call to calibrate the data with you (usually in 3-5days of the installation). This is to verify the data we receive from the machines is what is actually happening on your factory shop-floor.
We will setup weekly calls for the first 4 weeks to monitor the data. As well as show you how to navigate the Busroot platform.
- Please double check the WiFi password as autocorrect (or similar) can alter characters (capitalisation for example).
- The Firewall information should be completed by the IT team
- In the case of device white-listing, we can supply the MAC addresses if required for you IT team
- We find 5 machines can be installed in one day with minimal impact to production. Machine downtime depends on entering the cabinets we need to install. Some can be entered without needing to power down the machine. If the machine does need to be powered down then a rough estimate is between 5-15 minutes.
Should you require further specifications regarding the hardware, they can be found

- If you have requested or required to add the WiFi information yourselves we can share the instruction with you to do this.
