COLLECT
Connecting to the brain

Passive, read-only link to your ELAU PacDrive. No sensors, no hardware. Deploy via VM, IPC, or local host.

ANALYSE
Turning data into depth.

Our secure pipeline processes millions of data points. We store your full history — long after your PAC has cleared its logs.

ACT
Powering your team.

Four purpose-built modules deliver live breakdown support, asset risk alerts, and OEE tracking from day one.

VALIDATE
Closing the loop.

Post-intervention monitoring confirms the fix held. We flag recurring patterns to make future diagnosis instant.

Why no sensors?
Because you don’t need them.

Sensors measure what’s happening outside your machine. Machine Analyser reads what’s happening inside it – directly from the PAC, the source of truth.

SENSOR BASED APPROACH

✗ Hardware installed on every machine
✗ Sensors measure external signals only
✗ Can’t read fault codes or error logs
✗ Installation takes days or weeks
✗ Ongoing hardware maintenance required
✗ Sensors fail or drift over time
✗ High upfront cost – CapEx required

WITH MACHINE ANALYSER

✓ No hardware on the machine – ever
✓ Reads directly from the machine’s brain
✓ Full fault codes, error logs and parameters
✓ Live in under a day
✓ Nothing to maintain or replace
✓ Data source is the PAC – always accurate
✓ Pure OpEx – less per day than a cup of coffee

Better data. No hardware. Fraction of the cost.

External sensors only measure symptoms. Machine Analyser connects to the source.

Your ELAU PacDrive already tracks fault codes, drive health and I²T values. We read this data directly and passively – without touching a single setting.

✓ No CapEx – forget hardware, installation and calibration costs
✓ Pure OpEx – professional analytics for less than a cup of coffee per day
✓ True Depth – access hundreds of internal parameters no sensor can reach

Flexible deployment.
Built around your IT. 

Whether you need cloud scalability or on-premise sovereignty, Machine Analyser adapts to your infrastructure – not the other way around.

CLOUD HOSTED
Cloud

Secure & Scalable

  • Setup: Data transmitted securely via SSL/TLS to a private cloud.
  • Benefit: Access your dashboard and machine data from anywhere, on any device.
  • Best for: Sites looking for maximum accessibility and zero server maintenance.
ON-PREMISE
Locally Hosted

Total Data Sovereignty

  • Setup: Fully local deployment – no data ever leaves your internal network.
  • Benefit: Full functionality retained without a single byte crossing the firewall.
  • Best for: Pharma, healthcare or sites with strict no-cloud governance.
OFFLINE CAPABLE
Hybrid Sync

Always On, Even Offline

  • Setup: Continuous local collection that syncs automatically when connectivity returns.
  • Benefit: Zero data loss during network outages. Built for dark sites or unreliable networks.
  • Best for: Older industrial environments or remote facilities.

The Data Journey:
Encrypted. Engineered. Enterprise-Ready.

A secure, high-fidelity pipeline from your PAC to your team.

1. PAC Source

Read-Only Data

The Process: 
Passive, read-only extraction from the ELAU PacDrive controller.

The Safety: 
Guaranteed zero impact on machine logic, cycle times or production stability.

2. Secure Transfer

Encrypted & Outbound

The Process: 
Encrypted transmission via your existing IPC or a Windows VM.

The IT Win: 
Outbound-only data flow. No inbound firewall ports or listening services required.

3. Azure ETL

Cloud-Scale Processing

The Process: 
Automated ETL on Microsoft Azure to normalise millions of data points.

The Flexibility: 
Proven cloud architecture  with local SQL options for offline and pharma sites.

4. Actionable 

Live Insights

The Process: 
High-resolution machine health and fault history delivered to any device.

The Value: 
Instant root-cause analysis across multi-sites. Accessible from anywhere.

The questions IT and Engineering
teams actually ask.

These aren’t curiosity questions. They’re buying blockers. Here are the definitive answers.

  • Will this affect my PAC cycle time or machine performance?

    No. Your motion control and machine logic remain 100% unaffected.

    Machine Analyser uses a passive, asynchronous communication driver. It is architected to operate as a low-priority background task - ensuring your motion control and machine logic execution are completely unaffected. We monitor the heartbeat. We don't interrupt it.

  • Do I need to install any new sensors or hardware?

    Zero hardware required.

    Zero hardware required. Machine Analyser extracts high-resolution data - including I²T, error codes, and specific fault sequences - directly from your existing ELAU PacDrive controllers via your current network infrastructure. Depending on your set-up the option to have no hardware installed on or near the machine is available, as are many other options

  • How is our data secured during transfer?

    Outbound-only. No inbound ports. Your network stays dark.

    Data is encrypted via SSL/TLS before leaving your network. Critically, the connection is outbound-only. Machine Analyser does not require any inbound ports to be opened - meaning your internal network remains invisible to the outside world.

  • We're a pharma site — can we keep all data offline?

    Yes. Full Local Sovereignty deployment available.

    While we offer Azure-backed cloud scalability, we provide a Local Sovereignty deployment - 100% on-premise hosting on your internal SQL servers. Data never leaves your facility. Full platform functionality is retained.

  • What happens if our network goes down?

    Zero data loss - store-and-forward logic handles it automatically.

    Our Hybrid Sync technology uses store-and-forward logic. If the connection is interrupted, data is buffered locally at the source and automatically resynced once connectivity is restored. Zero data loss, even during extended network outages.

  • Can Machine Analyser write changes back to the PAC?

    No. Strictly read-only by design - not policy.

    The communication layer is strictly read-only by design. There is no programmatic path within the software to write, modify or force any PAC variables or code. This is an architectural constraint - not a setting that could be changed or overridden.

Have a specific IT requirement?
We’ve heard it before.

DMC works through every technical and security requirement before deployment. If your IT team has questions, bring them to the conversation.
