In the world of manufacturing, data access and data integrity are among the core components of digital transformation. NightWatch, developed by trex Digital, is a platform where data collection processes in production lines are redefined based on reliability, verifiability, and sustainability.

At the core of the solution is an architecture based on official communication protocols determined and supported by the manufacturer. This approach creates an industry-standard structure that provides a permanent and secure data flow, replacing short-term "quick demo" applications in the field. NightWatch offers a data collection infrastructure designed to securely achieve digital transformation goals with its manufacturer-compliant architecture.

The flexible structure, which ensures data integrity among different brands of machinery, maintains continuity against variable data formats, device updates, and equipment renewals. For businesses, a stable foundation is provided that allows for the long-term and sustainable management of data collection processes. NightWatch is an integrated data collection layer that encompasses not only machine data but also information from sensors, PLCs, energy management systems, and environmental sensors on the production line. This structure provides comprehensive visibility where data related to production performance, quality parameters, and energy consumption are unified on a single platform.

trex Software Development Manager, Ali Özgür, said, “NightWatch is an open platform that removes restrictions on production data, offering businesses full control. Unlike closed and licensed systems, its flexible, developable, and scalable structure makes it possible for data to be used freely.” Özgür stated that the system, which can operate in Edge and cloud architecture and enables the detection of alarms and anomalies, simultaneously shares the results with business management systems such as ERP, MES, and WMS. He noted that this makes it a solution that serves not only to monitor data but also to add value to production processes by making sense of it.
