Hi ,

Whether you're trying to cut energy costs, avoid unplanned downtime, or just get eyes on what's actually happening on the plant floor, real-time machine monitoring gives you the information you need to act. 

If you're looking for a practical example of how to do it—using real equipment, standard protocols, and a system that's running 24/7—try out a new live demo that shows exactly how we’ve set up our own machine monitoring at Opto 22.

Live from Opto 22’s headquarters in Temecula, California, the demo shows:

• Real-time power and energy consumption from our manufacturing facility
• Live compressor and air dryer data—temperatures, dew point, amps, run status
• Historical energy and air usage charts
• A live camera feed from our utility room
• MQTT Sparkplug B metrics—devices, nodes, throughput, latency
• Full system diagnostics, tag structure, and health stats

If you’re thinking about setting up something similar, this demo shows what’s possible with open protocols and flexible edge hardware. Give it a try!

Thanks for your interest,
-The Opto 22 Team
