AUTOMATION  |  DATA ON THE EDGE

Know exactly what your machines are doing. Live.

webowa builds compact industrial monitoring and automation for machine shops — coolant condition, machine utilisation, pump energy — turned into live dashboards, records and two-way mobile alerts. Retrofit to what you already run, with your data kept on your own site.

Products

Four units. One connected system.

Each unit works on its own or reports into the same dashboards and alerts — so you can start with one machine and grow across the whole shop.

Coolant Monitor

Coolant Monitor

Concentration, pH, temperature, level — and machine utilisation

A compact unit that reads coolant concentration (Brix), pH, temperature and sump level in real time, and uses the pump run signal to log machine utilisation. Alarms and status reports go straight to your phone, and every reading is stored as an auditable COSHH record. Magnetic mount, 5″ touchscreen, wired or wireless, and it installs in about half an hour.

Screw Pump Inverter Upgrade

Screw Pump Inverter Upgrade

Cut energy, extend pump life

Most high-pressure coolant pumps run flat out all day, throttled by valves and wasting energy as heat and noise. This retrofit adds a variable-speed drive and closed-loop pressure control, so the pump delivers exactly the pressure the process needs — no more, no less. Most installs pay for themselves within 12–24 months.

Auto Fill system

Auto Fill System

Stable coolant concentration, hands-off

Serves up to 20 machines from one low-pressure distribution system. It mixes coolant to the correct concentration automatically, delivers accurate controlled top-ups, detects empty drums and switches over on its own — while tracking water and oil usage per machine.

Data Monitoring Unit

Data Monitoring Unit

Every sensor, every machine, one system

A compact industrial data hub that connects to virtually any sensor, signal or machine — temperature, pressure, flow, vibration, current, machine status and more. New sensors are added in software, not new hardware. Live dashboards, long-term history and alarms straight to the right person's phone.

How it works

From a signal on the shop floor to a problem solved.

Every webowa unit follows the same six steps — whether it's watching coolant, a pump or a whole production line.

Collect

Sensors and signals you already have: pump run, levels, pressures, temperatures, Modbus devices.

Store

Each unit keeps its own full history on site — nothing lost if the network drops.

Visualise

One master device serves factory-wide dashboards to any browser on your network.

Analyse

Trends, utilisation, energy and patterns that show where time and money go.

Report

Scheduled status to your phone, alarm histories and compliance records on demand.

Solve

Find the cause, fix it, and prove the fix worked with the same data.

Closed networkUnits and master on their own network, separate from office IT.
No cloud feesNo subscriptions or data charges — buy once, own it.
One masterOne device collects every machine into central dashboards.
Two-way chatAlerts, status and settings from your phone.
Dashboards

See every machine. Spot problems before they cost you.

Real screens from live webowa systems — maintenance and production views built from the same units.

Factory overview dashboard

Factory overview

Every machine on one screen, colour-coded so maintenance knows exactly where to go.

  • Totals for online, offline, in alarm and top-up requests
  • Concentration, pH, temperature and level per machine
  • Green running, orange alarm, blue top-up, grey offline
Device live dashboard

Device live view

Gauges with alarm bands, alarm status by sensor and time since each sensor last reported.

  • A silent sensor is flagged red — never trusted
  • Alarm start and clear times for every sensor
Coolant history trends

Device history

Trend any reading over any period, with minimum, average and maximum against alarm limits.

  • Confidence score rejects bad readings automatically
  • See dilution, top-ups and evaporation drift
  • Audit-ready records for COSHH
Utilisation live

Utilisation live

Current state, time in state and current operation, with utilisation today and over seven days against plan.

  • Spot an idle machine straight away
  • No PLC or CNC changes — from the pump run signal
Utilisation history

Utilisation history

Cutting hours, part changes, tool changes and minor stops, with an hour-by-hour time breakdown.

  • Compare shifts, days and machines
  • Target long changeovers and repeated stops
  • Measure the effect of every improvement
Two-way mobile chat

Two-way mobile chat

Talk to your machines from your phone.

  • Instant alarm and back-to-normal messages
  • Scheduled or on-demand status: sensors, state, utilisation, cutting time
  • Change settings by message — authorised users only
Proven savings

Measured on a 7.5 kW Knoll pump, 2 mm nozzle

The inverter slows the pump to pass only what the nozzle needs — nothing dumped back to tank. Around 2.5 kW saved whether you're running 40 or 70 bar.

60%
Less power at 40 bar — 4.0 kW down to 1.6 kW.
39%
Less power even at full 70 bar — 6.4 kW down to 3.9 kW.
£1,400–2,800
Saved per pump, per year, on typical 2 mm nozzle duty.

*Fixed-speed baseline: pump runs at 50 Hz delivering full flow (~50 L/min) with a relief valve returning the surplus to tank. Inverter figures measured on a 7.5 kW Knoll pump with a 7.5 kW inverter. Annual saving assumes ~2.5 kW, 2,000–4,000 running hours/year, electricity at 28p/kWh (typical UK industrial, 2026) — adjust to your own tariff.

Why webowa

Built for the shop floor, not the brochure

Retrofit, not rip-out

Units pick up existing signals and pumps. Nothing about how your machines operate has to change to start getting data.

Your data stays on-site

Records live on the unit. Encrypted remote access only for you and the people you authorise — no data held to ransom.

Alerts that matter

Configurable thresholds and logic mean you're told when something's genuinely wrong, not nagged into ignoring it.

Compliance made easy

Automatic records for coolant checks (HSE MW05 / COSHH) and temperature logs, generated on demand.

Open interfaces

Modbus RTU/TCP, analogue 0–10V and 4–20mA, digital I/O and direct machine-network connections built in.

No ongoing fees

No cloud storage, data charges or monthly subscriptions. Buy the hardware and the system is yours.

Utilisation for free

The same unit that watches your coolant logs machine state and utilisation — no extra hardware.

Grows with you

Start with one monitor on one machine. Add units and sensors over time — all into the same dashboards.
