Module M-02 · Explore

The chart you need now, not the one you designed last month.

Explore answers the question you have right now: choose lines, tick metrics, set the time range - the chart updates as you click. Overlay the alarms that fired, compare per line or per customer, copy the link and send it to whoever needs to see it. The screen below is the real one, running on simulated data: go ahead and play with it.

          How it works

          Tick metrics, read the chart

          Every metric the machine reports, in a list you can search - grouped the way a maintenance engineer thinks. Tick two, the chart draws; tick a third, it redraws.

          • Different units, two axes

            Plot power in kW against motor speed in percent and Explore puts each on its own axis, automatically.

          • Any range

            Last hour to last year, this month or last, or a custom range. Zoom in on the ten minutes before a stop, step back, reset.

          • Last, average, min, max

            Choose what each point represents, and how many points you want on screen.

          • Per line, all combined, per customer

            The same metrics, sliced by the level you care about - one line, the whole plant, or one customer against another.

          • Live or historical

            Turn on Live and the chart follows the machine; leave it off and replay a shift that already happened.

          • Share the view

            One click copies a link that reproduces the exact chart - metrics, range, scope - for a colleague or for the customer.

          • Alarms on the chart

            Tick an alarm and its firing windows overlay the chart, every fire and clear in a table below. "Why did it trip at 08:20?" is answered by looking.

          • Every value has a history

            On a machine page every tile carries a sparkline; click it and its last 24 hours open on the spot. Explore combines; the tile checks.

          • Every value has a definition

            Hover a metric: gauge or counter, polling interval, valid range - and the PLC tag name, for the engineer who needs it. The full data model is on the connectivity page.

          Two readers

          The same chart, two jobs

          • Your customer's supervisor

            Opens Explore in the branded portal to answer "what happened on the night shift" - without exporting anything to a spreadsheet.

          • Your service team

            Opens the same chart with the alarm overlaid and answers the support call from the desk. The −58% in on-site visits in the customer story came from exactly that.

          Next - in development

          Ask for the chart in plain words

          Describe the chart - "J2 motor current against TCP speed, last week, Cell-02" - and Explore builds it.

          Measured results

          What reading the data changed in the field

          Outcomes measured across Mavex deployments with a plastic extrusion machine manufacturer.

          • −58% On-site service visits Live machine metrics answered most first-response calls remotely.
          • −40% Unplanned downtime for your customers Delivered via branded portal - predictive alerts gave machine buyers visibility they never had before.
          • +31% OEE improvement for your customers Live and historical data exposed inefficient workflow patterns that were previously hidden to management.

          Results based on early customer deployments. Individual outcomes vary by industry, machine type, and operational context.

          Common questions

          Questions we hear about Explore

          Here are the questions we hear most - answered directly, without the sales pitch.

          All questions, general and technical

          Do we have to build charts in advance?
          No. Explore builds them on the fly from the metrics already being collected. The views you want on every machine page are configured once per machine model - see Custom Dashboards.
          Can our customers use Explore?
          The feature is available to them only if you want to expose it.
          Can we export the data?
          Every view has a shareable link that reproduces the exact chart. To actually export the data, contact us and together we will look at the best solution for your case.
          How far back does the data go?
          Explore offers ranges from the last hour up to the last year, plus custom dates. Retention beyond that is set per installation.
