32+ variables straight from the PLC
MODBUS TCP/IP, RS485 and analog signals. What the PLC already computes stops being locked inside the cabinet.

KINNIL DAQ
Before improving any number, you have to be able to trust it
“I don't have data I can trust.”
The layer that makes everything else possible: it reads your PLCs' variables, normalises them and turns them into alerts and reports. And where there's no PLC to read, it measures anyway.
What it actually does
Everything the machine is already saying, captured
Sensing where there is no signal
Current, vibration, temperature, pressure, RPM and vision. A twenty-year-old machine with no PLC delivers data just like a new one — that's our ideal case, not the exception.
Processing on site (edge)
The Nidus gateway decides in the plant and runs without a connection. If the link drops, the measurement isn't lost: it syncs when it comes back.
Its own channel, your network untouched
Transmission goes over Kinnil's own 4G cellular channel. We don't ask for access to your control systems or consume your bandwidth.
How it gets switched on
It's the first layer: the one you install once
DAQ is what physically goes into the plant and what every other module runs on. That's why installing it well decides whether the rest is useful: a badly taken signal contaminates every number that comes after it.
A typical line is fully measuring in under 2 weeks, at 1 day per machine and without stopping production. The only physical requirement is a 120 V power outlet.
- 01Survey: which machines exist and what signal each one offers
- 02We decide per machine whether to read the PLC or measure outside
- 03Nidus and sensing installed, 1 day per machine
- 04Signal validated against what the floor actually shows, point by point
The other modules
They all run on the same data and the same hardware. Turn on one, turn on six — the bill grows per machine, not per module.

Frequently asked questions
What people ask about data acquisition
Does it work with old machines or machines without a PLC?
Yes — that's our ideal case. Non-invasive peripheral sensors: we read current, vibration and vision without touching the machine, which loses no warranty.
Do you need access to my network or my internet?
No. Kinnil equipment processes on site and transmits over its own channel. Your network and your control systems stay untouched.
What happens if the link goes down?
The Nidus keeps measuring and processing in the plant, because it runs without a connection. When the channel comes back, the information syncs and the history stays complete.
