Wouldn’t it be great if our machines could communicate?
If they could tell us where the problems lie, how to fix them, and how to help them work to the best of their ability. Imagine the time and money you would save if you could act on that information regularly.
Introducing Smart Connected
Machines that talk AND perform better.
ACG’s Smart Connected provides you with an instant connection to your machines, giving you real time data on their health so you can monitor performance, diagnose problems, and ensure they’re always running optimally.
We are immensely grateful for your Smart Connected team’s expertise. You have significantly contributed to the overall improvement and performance of our machine.”

Easy to use.
Setting up Smart Connected couldn’t be easier – simply plug-and-play:
01 Install
A sensor is put in place to detect your machinery and establish a gateway for the connection.
02 Connect
Once the sensor is in place, we help you connect to the Smart Connected device. Since this is a cloud-based software solution, we’ll need to connect with your Wi-Fi just as you would a new internet connection.
03 Display
Now your machine is up and running you’ll want to visualise the results. Simply download our app on your smart phone or download our platform on your PC and get started.
Easy to understand.
Once Smart Connected is installed, it will start transmitting machine health-related data in an easy to digest format. The Smart Connected user interface will translate this data for you to monitor all kinds of machine settings, Key Performance Indicators and trend visualisations. You will also receive alerts and reports to keep you updated.
We understand how important your data is to you and we take every possible precaution to protect its privacy.

Customer success story
Zydus Lifesciences
With the help of Smart Connected solution, Zydus Lifesciences, managed to improve OEE and win an award in the process. Having implemented Smart Connected solution on their BQS blister packaging machine, Zydus succeeded in achieving zero losses due to minor stoppages. The results were so notable that they entered the 46th National Kaizen Competition, a cross-industry competition for performance evaluation.
It is with utmost happiness that we share with you that we have won a gold award!!! Your collaboration and guidance have been instrumental in this success.
