[Discover the feature](https://www.jitbase.com/demo) ## **“Machine active” doesn’t mean “in production”** Most monitoring systems stop at active/inactive. That’s not enough to understand what’s really happening on the shop floor. - No distinction between setup, inspection, or production - OEE metrics lack context and accuracy - Bottlenecks are hard to identify - Data stays raw, not actionable 💬 ***The result: incomplete insights and missed opportunities for improvement.***   ![Two shop floor operators working with outdated tools, one reviewing a manual flowchart on a whiteboard and the other using a laptop with Excel, illustrating the lack of real-time visibility before adopting JITbase.](https://www.jitbase.com/hs-fs/hubfs/jitbase-before-mes-problem-shopfloor.webp.webp?width=1200&height=600&name=jitbase-before-mes-problem-shopfloor.webp.webp)   Y   ![Industrial supervisor wearing PPE and reviewing production data on a tablet, with an interface inspired by JITbase.](https://www.jitbase.com/hs-fs/hubfs/jitbase-supervisor-tablet-factory-floor-monitoring.webp.png?width=1200&height=600&name=jitbase-supervisor-tablet-factory-floor-monitoring.webp.png)   ## **Intelligent interpretation of machine signals** JITbase continuously reads CNC machine signals (programs, M-codes, alarms, spindle activity, etc.) and applies a logic model to **automatically determine the machine’s functional mode**: ✅ Setup ✅ First-off ✅ First-off inspection ✅ Production ✅ Idle 💡 ***No configuration, no operator input — just real context, in real time.***     ![Operator in a machining workshop using a tablet with a scheduling interface inspired by JITbase production planning dashboards.](https://www.jitbase.com/hs-fs/hubfs/jitbase-production-planning-tablet-cnc-operator.webp.webp?width=800&height=400&name=jitbase-production-planning-tablet-cnc-operator.webp.webp)   ## **How it works** 1️⃣ JITbase collects live machine signals and events 2️⃣ It analyzes behavior patterns (program start, tool change, spindle, feed, stop) 3️⃣ The system identifies the current mode automatically 4️⃣ OEE reports and dashboards are enriched with full production context **You go from raw machine data to *interpreted, meaningful insights*.** ![Integrated production workflow showing a supervisor viewing JITbase planning, CNC machines sending live data, and an operator using the JITbase tablet interface in a real machining environment.](https://www.jitbase.com/hs-fs/hubfs/jitbase-connected-workflow-integration.webp.webp?width=1200&height=600&name=jitbase-connected-workflow-integration.webp.webp) ## **Why it matters?** Knowing a machine is running is one thing. Knowing *what it’s doing* and *why it’s not producing* changes everything. With **JITbase**: ✅ Understand context behind downtime and setup time ✅ Improve OEE accuracy ✅ Identify true bottlenecks faster 💬 ***Data that finally speaks the language of production.*** ![JITbase infographic titled ‘Management with your existing scan data,’ showing real-time dashboards, planning automation, live job updates, real-time WIP updates, and production analysis with clear industrial-style visuals.](https://www.jitbase.com/hs-fs/hubfs/jitbase-real-time-production-management.webp.webp?width=1200&height=600&name=jitbase-real-time-production-management.webp.webp) ## **Testimonial** > “Before, all we saw was ‘machine active’. Now we know exactly when it’s in setup, inspection, or production. It’s the first time we can see where we really lose time.” > — ***Production Director, Aerospace Shop*** > > > > ***[![Access to Case Studies](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/2691701/interactive-173442241150.png)](https://www.jitbase.com/hs/cta/wi/redirect?encryptedPayload=AVxigLKgxXSuDlm%2BzCYiQO6%2FpY8R5SJ1IlWCWSEu6v3PF%2FKhJCGgY90LHxMqAmmKnEsunf%2FsO7h05vCQCbqlGYL2fuqB23mBg8QgPll7orZEZ6d1H5cqdWOaw20TUdntTgdLtZjat%2FYtzqrfaYukUS8bKs6NZjzMf7M7c796suoJx9ThQt89&webInteractiveContentId=173442241150&portalId=2691701)*** ![Digital screen showing live JITbase machine status and task progress in a smart factory.](https://www.jitbase.com/hs-fs/hubfs/machine-data-dashboard.webp.webp?width=800&height=400&name=machine-data-dashboard.webp.webp) ## **Pro Tip** > ✅ Raw data isn’t enough — context turns it into action. Automatic mode detection transforms basic monitoring into real performance understanding. ## **Experience Automatic Functional Mode Detection** Go beyond traditional monitoring.
