Real-time Monitoring, Controlling Production Line Dynamics
Constantly grasp the operational status and production progress of each machine in the factory, elevating management efficiency.
Machine Utilisation Monitoring System for Manufacturing
Utilization Fairy
Keep your machines.
Utilisation calculates itself.
Retrofits onto punch presses, injection moulding machines, packaging machines and die-casting machines.
No line stoppage, no machine changes—every cycle uploads to the cloud automatically.
Utilization Fairy is a machine utilisation monitoring system developed in-house by YenProtek. It requires no machine modification and can be retrofitted to older machines, automatically counting cycles and uploading them to the cloud so you can track utilisation rates in real time.

Quick Installation! Efficient Cloud Monitoring Even for Legacy Machines
Amid the digital transformation trend, many factories still rely on manually recording and entering production data for each machine, which is not only time-consuming and labour-intensive but also error-prone. YenProtek offers a simple, easy-to-install solution that brings all kinds of legacy machines (such as punch presses, injection moulding machines, and packaging machines) into the era of smart cloud monitoring quickly, even if they cannot connect to a network!
How It Works
Upgrade Without Replacing Machines! YenProtek's Smart Monitoring Solution Automates Utilisation Data Collection for Punch Press Manufacturers
YenProtek's machine utilisation monitoring system installs quickly, with no need to replace existing equipment or stop the production line. Simply add a control box next to the machine and it is ready to go. Whether punch presses, injection moulding machines, packaging machines, die-casting machines, or other industrial equipment, every operating cycle is recorded in real time through the control box and transmitted instantly to the cloud platform. The system automatically tallies output data, calculates utilisation rates, and integrates them into an RWD (responsive web design) monitoring platform with clear, visual reports and production analysis. Factory managers can remotely check machine utilisation anytime from a computer, tablet, or phone, saving time on manual record-keeping, reducing the risk of errors, and improving production line management efficiency across the board.

Low-Barrier Digital Transformation Without Replacing Machines or Halting Production Lines
Mixing old and new machines from different brands on the same production line is the first hurdle in many factories' digitalisation. Improving internal production efficiency, strengthening real-time line management, and making data transparent are the key breakthroughs for manufacturing transformation.
YenProtek's Smart Machine Utilisation Monitoring System uses easy-to-install control boxes and wireless communication technology to quickly connect existing machinery (new or old, of any brand), collect operational data in real time, and automatically calculate utilisation rates, giving managers constant visibility into the performance of every production line.
Combining a visualisation platform, anomaly alerts, and cloud data integration, the system not only greatly reduces the risk of manual transcription and data-entry errors, but also pinpoints bottleneck workstations and optimises scheduling and staffing. Even small and medium-sized factories can quickly adopt core Smart Manufacturing capabilities, producing more with the same workforce, strengthening their business fundamentals, and meeting future challenges head-on.

Case studies
From one punch press shop to an entire stamping line
A punch press processing company in Taichung wanted to collect production line data (the production status and utilisation rate of each machine, etc.). However, most machines in the plant were legacy models unable to connect to a network for data collection, and the punch presses varied not only in age but also spanned multiple brands. The company therefore asked YenProtek to help plan a solution that would bring modern data collection and monitoring to its existing machines without modifying them and with fast installation.

Connected live to an EV 0.25mm stamping line with one feeder and one puller, it collected, analysed and visualised machine operating data in real time, helping line managers keep track of production efficiency and abnormal conditions as they happened.
Read the event storyFrequently Asked Questions
Can it work with older machines that can't connect to a network?
Yes. Simply install a device containing a counter and communication module next to the machine to record every cycle and upload it to the cloud. It works with both new and older machines.
Does installation require stopping the line or modifying machines?
No. There's no need to replace existing equipment or stop the production line. Recording starts as soon as it's installed.
Which machines does it work with?
Punch presses, injection moulding machines, packaging machines, die-casting machines, and more, regardless of machine age or brand.
Is data stored in the cloud or on-premises?
Either one. Data can be stored on a cloud server or on an on-premises server in your factory.
Can it calculate OEE?
Yes. In addition to utilisation rate and production counts, Utilization Fairy can also calculate Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE).
Can it integrate with MES and ERP?
Yes. Utilisation data can be integrated with MES, ERP, and other systems, and can also be shown on Command Center electronic display boards.
Can I use this in my country?
Connection frequency bands, local telecoms networks, and certification requirements vary by country. Please tell us the country and site where the product will be used, and we will confirm the suitable communication version and supply arrangements.
