Operators don't log in to a screen or fill in a form. They carry on as before.
How many hours did your machines actually run?
Kaya measures how many hours each machine actually ran by reading its tower light through the cameras your factory already has. You see every machine's hours, day by day.
No sensors, no new cabling, no production stop. Your cameras keep working as before.
How Kaya works
Each light is set up once
During setup you draw a zone around each lamp in the camera view and pick the machine it belongs to. If a camera or machine moves, you redraw the zone, and that's it.
No guessing when it can't see
If a camera drops out or something blocks the lamp, Kaya marks that time as no evidence.
Which machines does it work on?
Make, model and age don't matter. The camera just needs a clear view of the tower light. Kaya works on CNC machines, presses, moulding machines, packaging lines, assembly cells and robotic cells.
In every frame, Kaya checks which colour the light is. The percentage under the video shows how sure Kaya is of the colour it saw.
If your lamps use other colours or blink in a different way, we can train Kaya on your lamps.
Amber light, nobody at the machine
A machine can sit on amber for a long time during a break, a shift change or a mould change. Sometimes there's a fault and nobody has come to look yet.
When the light is amber, Kaya also checks whether someone is at the machine. If nobody is, it shows that time separately and leaves it out of runtime. When the light is green, the time counts as running even if nobody is at the machine.
Example: one machine's afternoon
The light turns amber and nobody comes to the machine. This time doesn't count as runtime.
Someone comes to the machine. The light is still amber, and Kaya records the time as stopped.
The light turns green and the machine runs until midnight.
From a whole month to a single minute
The screen opens on the month's totals. Click a machine to see its runtime day by day, and click a day to see that machine's runtime within the day, minute by minute. Click a minute and the camera frame from that moment opens.
Monthly report per machine
See how long a machine ran, how long it stood and how long it spent in alarm over the month, all on one page. With your ERP connected, work orders appear next to the hours, so a work order left open while the machine stood still is easy to spot.
Kaya also counts parts. It watches the mould or tool move on camera and adds each machine's part and cycle counts to the report. Part counting is a separate add-on. It needs an ERP connection, because the number of cavities in each mould comes from the ERP.
The month-end report
With your ERP connected, Kaya prepares a separate report for each of your customers. It shows which machine ran for that customer, on which day and for how long. Print it or download it as PDF or CSV.
More features
Shop-floor screen
Show Kaya's data to your team on a screen on the shop floor. The floor team can see how long each machine ran or stood idle.
Past months
If your recorder still holds older footage, we can often report on past months too. How far back we can go depends on how long the recorder keeps footage.
Your own AI assistant
Once Kaya is connected to your own AI assistant, you can ask about your machines in plain words, for example how many hours a machine ran last month or how many hours were worked for a particular customer. The answers come from your factory's own measurements.
ERP connection
Kaya connects to Odoo today, and other ERP systems are planned. The ERP brings in work orders, operators and customers. Only the tower light decides runtime, and no ERP record can change it.
What Kaya doesn't do
Kaya is a reporting tool. It doesn't control machines and it isn't a safety system. Reports are daily.
Kaya looks at the machine from the outside, so it can't see controller data such as spindle load or alarm codes. It measures the Availability part of OEE. With part counting on, Performance can be calculated too. Quality needs scrap counts from your own systems.
Setup takes about an hour
Set it up yourself or with us. Setup first shows you how to connect Kaya to your own AI assistant, and from then on the assistant guides you through each step. Either way, nobody needs to visit your factory.
If your camera recorder (NVR/DVR) can be reached over the internet, you enter its address and login on the setup page, and nothing is installed at the factory. If it can only be reached from inside the factory, a small Linux virtual server goes on your network. That server isn't connected to any machine, and your cameras never have to be opened to the internet.
Try it free for 30 days
We measure how long your machines run for 30 days, free. When the trial ends, we go through the results with you. All we need first is a quick check of whether your cameras see the lamps clearly enough.
Every screen recording and camera frame on this page comes from a working factory. Faces are blurred, and company, machine and customer names are changed. The figures are scaled by a fixed factor.

How can I measure machine runtime without sensors or PLC access?
Kaya measures how many hours each machine actually worked by reading the machine's signal or tower light from camera footage. It does not attach sensors, switches, current clamps or any other hardware to the equipment. It needs no access to the machine controller, PLC, G-code or machine protocol. The only requirement is a tower light or signal lamp that a camera can see.
How do I see how many hours my machines ran for each customer?
When your ERP or job data is connected, Kaya shows hours per customer. The tower light decides the hours. Which customer they belong to comes from the work orders in your ERP. You can print the report or export it to PDF or CSV.
Can I track runtime on old machines from different brands?
Yes, as long as each machine has a tower light that a camera can see. Kaya works with any brand, age or type of machine. Nothing is installed on or inside the equipment, and machine warranties stay as they are. If you add a tower light to a machine that has none, Kaya can measure it.
How can I get the Availability part of OEE from my existing cameras?
Kaya provides the runtime and downtime data used to calculate Availability. It uses the factory's existing CCTV when the cameras can see the tower lights clearly. Where they cannot, additional cameras may be needed, or the camera angles may have to change. Performance needs part counts and an ideal cycle time, and Quality needs good and scrap counts.
Can I find out how long my machines ran last month if nobody tracked it?
Often, yes. If the recorder still holds the footage, Kaya can analyse past recordings. How far back it can go depends on the recorder's retention period.
What is Kaya?
Kaya measures how many hours each machine actually worked. It reads the tower light from camera footage. You can use the per-machine reports for invoicing, quoting and capacity planning.
What kind of equipment can Kaya monitor?
Kaya does not depend on machine make or industry. The only requirement is a tower light or signal lamp that a camera can see. It works on CNC machines, presses, moulding machines, packaging lines, assembly cells, robotic cells and other industrial equipment.
Who is Kaya designed for?
Kaya is for businesses that need to show their own management how many hours a machine ran. That includes contract manufacturers, companies that invoice by the hour, companies comparing hours across machines or sites, and businesses that use machine hours for cost accounting.
Is the trial free?
Yes. You pay nothing for the first 30 days.
How long does setup take?
About an hour. You can set it up yourself. Once Kaya is connected to your own AI assistant, it guides you through each step. Or the Glotech team can manage the onboarding with you. If a small device has to go on your factory network, the time stays the same as long as you have a Linux server ready.
Does anyone need to visit our factory?
No. Setup is done entirely remotely.
