Manufacturing Process Monitoring Software
See every process parameter, as it happens, not after the part is done.
Book a MeetingManufacturing process monitoring tracks critical process parameters as production happens, giving quality and operations teams a live view of process health instead of a summary pieced together after the fact. sfHawk's platform captures this data automatically through the Vajra edge device, supporting manufacturing process tracking and real-time process control software capabilities from the same connected system.
contact us →Tracks Every Stage of the Process, Not Just the Output
Manufacturing process tracking follows a job through each stage of production, so a deviation gets caught at the step where it happened, not discovered later in a finished part.
Gives Process Control Software Real Substance
Process control software depends on accurate, real-time parameter data. sfHawk feeds that data straight from the machine, so control decisions are based on what's actually happening, not a delayed report.
Flags Parameter Deviations the Moment They Happen
Process tracking software that only logs data after the fact has limited value. sfHawk's alerts fire the instant a parameter drifts out of range, giving operators time to correct course before a part is scrapped.
Visualizes Process Health With Live SPC Charts
Live SPC charts turn raw parameter data into a trend line operators can actually use, making it easy to spot a process drifting out of control before it produces a defect.
Connects Directly to Integrated Quality Alerts
Integrated quality alerts tie process deviations straight to the quality team, closing the gap between a parameter going out of spec and someone actually finding out about it.
Ties Critical Process Parameters to Full Traceability
Every parameter captured here feeds the same lineage record used in sfHawk's manufacturing traceability software, so a quality issue can be traced back to the exact process conditions that caused it.
Process Control Software Capabilities
This is the highest volume term in this space, and sfHawk backs it with real functionality. Live SPC charts give operators a continuous visual read on process stability, plotting parameter data against control limits so a drift is visible long before it becomes a defect. Integrated quality alerts sit on top of those charts, notifying the right person the moment a reading crosses a threshold, rather than waiting for an end of shift quality check to catch it. Together, these two features turn process control from a periodic inspection task into a continuous, automated function running quietly in the background of every job.
Critical Process Parameter Tracking
Parameter data captured here connects directly to sfHawk's manufacturing traceability software, so the same numbers that power real time process control also build the permanent lineage record tied to every part. There is no separate system to maintain and no gap between what's monitored on the floor and what's recorded for traceability.
Vajra
The Vajra is connected to industrial machines and peripheral equipment such as gauges, compressors, sensors etc. The Vajra collects and wirelessly transmits a range of operational data to servers. It is useful to show real-time data inputs for your shopfloor teams and make a complete paperless factory, enabling all day to day shopfloor tasks to be run through the Vajra.
- Collect accurate and real-time production data.
- View accurate production losses.
- Empower operator to enter critical operations data.
- Implement machine interlocks.
- View digital documents on the machine.
- Data storage facility so internet downtimes don't cause data loss.
Vajra Lite
The Vajra Lite connects to Industrial machines and equipment through PLC, MTConnect, OPC UA, IO, and Serial communication. It collects, processes, and wirelessly transmits real time operational data to servers and cloud systems.
- Cost effective solution with similar compute possibilities.

Why Manufacturers Choose sfHawk
Everything you need to know.
What is manufacturing process monitoring?
Manufacturing process monitoring tracks critical process parameters as production happens, giving teams a live view of process health instead of a report assembled after the fact.
What's the difference between process monitoring and process control software?
Process monitoring captures and displays parameter data as it happens. Process control software goes a step further, using that data to trigger alerts and support decisions that keep the process within its intended limits.
Can sfHawk alert operators to process parameter deviations in real time?
Yes. Integrated quality alerts notify the right person the moment a parameter drifts out of range, so corrections can happen before a part is scrapped, not after.
How is OEE monitoring software different from production monitoring software?
Production monitoring software tracks output, cycle times, and throughput. OEE monitoring software goes a step further, combining that production data with quality and availability figures to produce one unified efficiency score. sfHawk's platform is designed to capture both, since accurate OEE depends on production data feeding into the calculation.
How fast can OEE improve after implementing OEE tracking software?
Based on sfHawk customer results, meaningful OEE gains have shown up in as little as three months, with improvements of 8% to 20% reported across different CNC manufacturing environments. The speed of improvement depends on how quickly a plant acts on the bottlenecks the data reveals.
