Machine Cycle Timing, Downtime Tracking and Parts Counting is a set of on-site equipment and data-collection solutions from Polverson Robotics for the manufacturing sector. At its core, it is not a typical cloud SaaS product, but rather a combination of industrial hardware, PC-based logging software, and custom automation integration. It mainly addresses parts counting, machine cycle monitoring, downtime logging, and visual inspection needs in small manufacturing workshops.
Parts Counter counts repeated actions in an industrial process for tracking parts output. It supports one finished-part sensor and an optional reject-part sensor, and can be configured with production targets. Machine Cycle Timer measures the time for a single manufacturing cycle, keeps 5-cycle and 100-cycle averages, and alerts operators when the cycle slows down. Uptime/Downtime Calculator records equipment running and stopped states in real time, and displays downtime logs on a TFT screen. Data Collector can aggregate data from multiple machines in one place via radio, and records CSV files by shift. Cycle Timer can also connect to a PC via USB, with software for display and CSV generation, making it easier to analyze in Excel. There are also machine-vision solutions such as 3D parts quality inspection starting at $4999, as well as detection of leftover parts in molds.
Pricing is mainly based on hardware purchases and project quotes. For Uptime Data Collector, the 1–5 machine scenario is priced at $799 per machine, with a receiver and PC required separately; for 6–10 machines, it is $899 per machine and includes a receiver and PC, though pricing may vary due to custom programming. Vision inspection projects are around $3000–4000 or start from $4999. No free version, trial, subscription plan, or online payment information was found.
Its strengths are its very specific use cases, centered on output, cycle time, downtime, and quality control, helping management review production efficiency through CSV data. It also has custom capabilities across robotics, sensors, PLCs, and machine vision. The drawbacks are that it has weak cloud-platform characteristics, and does not disclose common SaaS capabilities such as permission management, team collaboration, APIs, data security compliance, or enterprise system integration. Analytics and reporting also remain largely at the level of local displays and CSV files.
It is suitable for small discrete manufacturers involved in injection molding, stamping, cutting, drilling, and similar processes, especially workshops that want to retrofit a single machine or a small number of devices at relatively low cost. Access from China is unknown. Because hardware delivery, after-sales support, and payments are involved, more practical alternatives for domestic users may be local MES systems, OEE equipment networking platforms, industrial IoT gateways, or machine-vision integrators.
