The Smart Production Counter Display by Robato Systems is a next-generation networked LED production counter designed for factories that require real-time, accurate and connected production monitoring. With support for WiFi, Ethernet, PLC integration, sensor input and Android app control, this smart counter automatically synchronises with your production management software, on-prem or cloud.

How it works

How the Smart Counter Works From the machine to your dashboard

Every count starts at the machine, shows on the LED display and travels over WiFi or Ethernet to your production software, which sends the next job straight back.

The smart production counter system on one sheet: four machines' counters showing job ID, target, actual, remaining, status, operator and cycle time, connected over WiFi and Ethernet to Robato cloud or on-premise production software and a production overview of 12 machines; below, the four input and control options (sensor-based counting, PLC-based integration, manual push-button counting, Android app configuration) and the software connectivity (cloud SaaS integration, on-premise server, multi-machine dashboards, Smart TV dashboard)

Stage 01, at the machine

Multiple Input & Control Options

Choose the input method and control option that best suits your production environment.

  • Sensor-based counting

    • Connect photoelectric, proximity or mechanical sensors directly
    • Each sensor pulse increments the production count automatically
    • Supports NPN/PNP sensor types
  • PLC-based integration

    • Receive counting signals from your PLC outputs
    • Perfect for automated lines where PLC manages cycle logic
    • Map PLC data to production-counting logic
  • Manual push-button counting

    • Accept manual input for confirmation-based counting
    • Ideal for processes requiring operator confirmation
    • Simple and intuitive operation
  • Android app configuration

    • Set targets and batch size
    • Adjust brightness & display mode
    • Reset counter or shift data
    • Select job ID or operator ID

Stage 02, on the display

Smart LED Production Counter for Connected Manufacturing

Unlike basic counters, the Smart Production Counter Display can automatically fetch critical production data and display it in real time.

This makes it the perfect solution for modern factories that aim to eliminate manual entry, reduce errors and drive performance with connected, intelligent systems.

A connected factory floor: an operator at a machine under a Robato smart production counter showing job ID J-4587, target 1000, actual 762 and 238 remaining, more counters down the line, each linked over WiFi to cloud production software, and the same counts on a wall of machine dashboards, a laptop, a phone and a tablet beside a Robato network gateway
Job J-4587 at the machine: target 1000, actual 762, 238 to go, and the same counts on the dashboards.

Automatic data fetching

  • Job ID
  • Target value
  • Actual production count
  • Shift details and operator ID

Stage 03, over the network

Smart Connectivity with Cloud & On‑Premise Software

Seamless integration with production management systems

Whether you use Robato's Cloud SaaS Production Monitoring System or an on-premise server, the smart counter automatically pushes and pulls data.

  • Cloud SaaS integration

    • Real-time data sync through WiFi/Ethernet
    • Access from anywhere with internet
    • MQTT/API support for IoT platforms
  • On-premise server

    • Hosted on factory server
    • High security for controlled environments
    • LAN-based connectivity

Stage 04, in the software

Multi-Machine and Smart TV Dashboards

The counts from every connected machine come together in one view, for supervisors at their desks and on the big screen in the control room.

  • Multi-machine dashboards

    • Target vs actual performance
    • Shift-wise and operator-wise insights
    • Downtime alerts and colour-coded warnings
  • Smart TV dashboard

    • View multiple machine counters on one screen
    • Ideal for supervisor rooms and control centers
