Many companies flinch before introducing an IT-supported machine-data acquisition. On one hand there are high investment costs which rise concern and on the other lengthy IT- projects with involvement of external consultants and high complexity often are wanted to be avoided. But now the start-up company LineMetrics developed, based on Lean Management, a new concept which overcomes all these obstacles - machine data acquisition as a service. In doing so there has always been a clear focus: All application, arising from this idea, starting with downtime analysis up to energy management visualization tools are committed to one principle: SIMPLICITY - A concept, not only SMEs can benefit from. Besides, this idea is not significantly new. Plug& play and the use of webservices is already in most realms of our daily life very common and, over the last few years, has turned into a basis for many other operations.
