Integration Platform

OPC UA + iMQTT to Agentic AI

MonitorZ connects your remanufacturing equipment using industrial-grade OPC UA and iMQTT protocols, feeding a live data stream to an AI agent that monitors every engine, every station, every shift.

OPC UA Node Mapping — Torque tools, CMMs, dyno cells, and test benches mapped to OPC UA address space. All data standardized and timestamped.
iMQTT Broker QoS 2 — Industrial MQTT with quality-of-service level 2 guarantees every sensor reading reaches the platform — no dropped data.
Agentic AI Analysis — AI agent subscribes to all topics, correlates compression, thermal, and torque data, and autonomously generates actionable recommendations.
Automatic Escalation — When AI detects a critical anomaly, it creates a work order, alerts the supervisor, and logs it in the quality record — without human intervention.

Remanufacturing-Specific Features

Built by people who understand the difference between new manufacturing and remanufacturing

Core Management

Track cores from receiving inspection through every remanufacturing stage. Grade cores on arrival, manage core bank inventory, and maintain full chain-of-custody documentation.

Dynamometer Integration

Live dyno data ingestion via OPC UA. Per-cylinder compression trending, full-load test profiles, and automated pass/fail comparison against OEM factory specs.

AI-Powered Diagnostics

Agentic AI analyzes wear patterns, compression signatures, and thermal data to predict failures, recommend corrective actions, and learn from every engine processed.

Disassembly Inspection

Structured teardown inspection forms with photo capture, wear measurement recording, and automatic BOM generation for required replacement parts.

Warranty & Certification

Auto-generate remanufacturing certificates, warranty documentation, and full test reports. Every unit ships with a complete digital record of every operation performed.

Parts & Kit Management

Engine-family-specific rebuild kits, gasket sets, and bearing inventories. Auto-consume parts during assembly with full traceability to supplier lot and batch.

OEE & Throughput Analytics

Real-time OEE by station, first-pass yield trending, rework root cause analysis, and daily throughput against target — always visible on the control room screen.

Multi-Stage Work Orders

Route engines through disassembly, cleaning, inspection, machining, assembly, and dyno testing as a single work order. Every operation tracked, timed, and signed off.

OPC UA + iMQTT

Connected Equipment

Torque wrenches, CMMs, honing machines, hot tanks, and dyno cells all connected via OPC UA. iMQTT streams live sensor data to your AI agent and control room continuously.

Why Reman Shops Choose MonitorZ

The Operational Challenges We Solve

Diesel engine remanufacturing has complexity that generic ERP systems simply weren't designed for. Here's where operators lose time — and how we fix it.

Pain Point

Paper-Based Dyno Data Collection

The Problem

Techs hand-write compression readings, then transcribe them to spreadsheets hours later. Defects slip through. OEM spec comparisons happen after the fact — if at all.

MonitorZ Solution

OPC UA streams every dyno reading live. AI compares against OEM specs in real time and flags issues before the engine leaves the cell.

Pain Point

No Visibility Into Core Pipeline

The Problem

Shops can't answer "how many cores are in cleaning right now?" without physically walking the floor. Cores sit idle, throughput stalls, and customer commitments get missed.

MonitorZ Solution

Core bank tracking with real-time stage visibility — receiving, grading, cleaning, machining, assembly, dyno, and shipping — in one control room view.

Pain Point

Rework Identified Too Late

The Problem

Defects found at final dyno test mean the engine gets torn back down — after full assembly labor has been invested. Average rework adds 6–12 hours per unit.

MonitorZ Solution

Agentic AI analyzes wear signatures and compression patterns at the inspection stage, catching failures before assembly begins.

Pain Point

Warranty Documentation Done Manually

The Problem

Warranty certs and test reports are assembled from multiple spreadsheets after the fact — prone to gaps, errors, and customer disputes that are hard to defend.

MonitorZ Solution

Every operation, torque spec, test reading, and tech sign-off is captured automatically. Warranty cert and full test report generate at certification — zero assembly.
