Measured,
Then Foreseen

Measured Line Forecast
and Prevention

Monolog is a measurement and forecasting solution that measures production time on the sewing floor and shows line status and forecasts from that data.

G1 // AFTER THE COUNT

Counted,
Then Ahead

After Capture

Measured data leads to line status, output forecasts and staff reallocation suggestions.

1-A. Now → Next → Before It Happens

Three Stages After Capture: Real-Time View, Output Forecast, Preventive Action

Monolog shows the line as it is now from measured values, forecasts the next state at the current pace to find the bottleneck, and has staff reallocated to balance the line before the bottleneck grows.

One grid cell is one workstation; bar length is output today. Bottleneck position and reallocation direction are illustrative examples.

G2 // TIME SCALE

From Seconds
to Seasons

Seconds to Seasons

Time measured every cycle accumulates into the factory SMV and becomes the basis of Monolis costing.

2-A. Time Scale

From One Measured Cycle to Factory SMV to Costing Standard

Each lower stage groups records and filters outliers, until one standard value per operation is fixed. The shrinking number of dots illustrates the reduction and is not an actual quantity.

Structure

Values measured at the workstation reach the screen through the zone computer and cloud.

4-A. Workstation → Zone Computer → Cloud → Screen

Edge Collection Continues Without Internet, Auto Transfer on Recovery

Workstation records pass through the Wi-Fi router and are stored first on the zone computer in the factory.
If the internet drops, edge collection continues; when it returns, queued records upload to the cloud in order.

Security on OPC-UA · AAS Standards and Mutual Authentication, Edge to External Use

OPC-UA, the collection standard, covers the whole path into Monolis from the workstation meter through the zone computer.
The zone computer acts as the OPC-UA gateway, converting MQTT · Modbus · REST signals into OPC-UA variables, and communication on this path is protected by signing, encryption and X.509 mutual authentication.
AAS organizes master data, Lot tracking, BOM and carbon footprint (PCF) data in the DB into 7 official IDTA Submodels,
served via a standard API for the EU Digital Product Passport (DPP), carbon border adjustment (CBAM) evidence and buyer audits.
OPC-UA covers the entire collection path, protected by signing, encryption and X.509 mutual authentication. AAS organizes Lot tracking · BOM · product carbon footprint (PCF) data into 7 official IDTA Submodels and provides them through a standard API.
Factory setup: workstation meters and Andon, Wi-Fi router, zone computer, internet gateway, SIJE Cloud, screens
