Know exactly which machines are running, right now.
Vigil gives manufacturing teams instant, real-time visibility into their entire production floor. No expensive MES systems. No PLC changes. Live data in minutes.
You can't improve what you can't see.
Most manufacturing businesses can't answer a simple question: "How many machines are running right now?" without walking the floor.
Enterprise MES systems cost six figures and take months to deploy. DIY SCADA needs specialist PLC programming. Your team deserves better.
No real-time visibility
Decisions made without data. Problems discovered too late.
Poor uptime tracking
No accurate data on machine utilisation across shifts.
Missed alarms
Machines sit in alarm state for hours before anyone notices.
Shift handover gaps
Critical context lost between shifts. No structured handover.
Everything you need to monitor your production floor.
Purpose-built for manufacturing. Every feature designed around how factories actually work.

Machine Detail
30-day uptime charts, hourly breakdowns, alarm logs, and machine notes for structured shift handovers.
Custom Dashboards
Build your own dashboard layouts with draggable, resizable widgets. Site summaries, alarm lists, uptime charts — arranged your way.
Shift Performance
Compare uptime shift-by-shift. Highlight best and worst performing shifts. Spot patterns across day, afternoon, and night shifts.
Operator Handover
Structured shift handover notes between operators. Machine-specific or site-wide. Track who said what, and when.
Live Machine Telemetry
MTConnect and OPC-UA machines stream spindle speed, feed rate, active program, and alarm data in real-time.

Guided Onboarding
Step-by-step setup wizard walks you through connecting machines, configuring shifts, and inviting your team.
From zero to live monitoring in three steps.
Connect
Wire a BrainBox I/O module to your machine's run signal, or connect directly via MTConnect or OPC-UA for rich telemetry — spindle speed, feed rate, and active program. No PLC changes required.
Deploy
Install the lightweight Vigil Collector on a small Linux PC at your site. It connects to your machines locally and streams data securely to the Vigil cloud. Configure machines in the admin panel.
Monitor
Open your dashboard and see every machine's status in real-time. Set up alerts, generate reports, and put Andon displays on the shop floor.
Works with what you already have.
Connect via BrainBox I/O modules, MTConnect, or OPC-UA. Plus a small on-site collector to stream data to the cloud.
