Guidewheel

Guidewheel is a San Francisco company whose FactoryOps platform monitors machines through non-invasive sensors that clip onto a machine's power supply. By reading electrical signals, the system shows when equipment is running, idle or down, and turns that into downtime alerts, OEE and utilization metrics, and shift performance views for operators and managers. The company began as an energy management tool and expanded into production monitoring based on customer use. It serves mid-sized plants and large manufacturers in plastics and packaging, food and beverage, steel and metals, automotive, building materials and consumer goods.
