Machine Monitoring Overview

Before we started using Caddis, we often struggled to pinpoint the reasons behind our machinery's inefficiencies. We relied on guesswork and anecdotal evidence, which left us in a spot of making uninformed decisions. Since integrating Caddis, our understanding of our machinery—and how to optimize them—has improved dramatically."

Mike Morette

Owner, The Sharp Tool Company

We weren’t fully aware of how many resources were underutilized and how much more we could achieve.”

Ralph Zimmerman

President, LeClaire Manufacturing

Caddis has allowed our operators and supervisors to effectively manage their machines and departments in a very short amount of time. We have tried other machine monitoring applications and Caddis is by far the easiest to navigate and utilize. I look forward to integrating Caddis throughout our entire facility."
