Unclear status
Is that cell running, waiting, or down—and for how long?
FEAI MACHINE MONITOR
FIND THE PRODUCTION YOU’RE LOSING.
FEAI Machine Monitor turns CNC machine data into clear production intelligence—so you can see what’s running, find what’s costing you time, and know what to investigate.
No credit card. No trial. No time limit.
Connect supported CNC machines through MTConnect.
Requires an accessible MTConnect data source. Some machines may require an MTConnect agent, adapter, or machine-side configuration.

CNC machine monitoring, MTConnect, and OEE guides
Plain-language pages for shop owners who want utilization and downtime truth — not another MES.
The problem
Production disappears in idle time, slow cycles, and recurring downtime.
Shop owners and production managers need a clear view of what machines are doing—without buying an expensive MES or guessing from the floor.
Hidden loss
Recurring micro-stops and setup delays rarely show up in end-of-day stories.
Hard to prioritize
When everything feels urgent, you need ranked opportunities—not more spreadsheets.
How it works
Connect. Monitor. Find. Improve.
1. CONNECT
Connect supported CNC machines through MTConnect when an accessible Agent or compatible endpoint is available on your shop network.
2. MONITOR
See machine status, cycles, downtime, alarms, OEE, and production history.
3. FIND
FEAI surfaces recurring downtime, slow cycles, setup problems, and efficiency opportunities.
4. IMPROVE
Investigate the problem, make an improvement, and track the result.
Live machine monitoring
See what’s running, idle, or down.
A shop-floor dashboard built for production managers—local-first on Windows, with diagnostics when connectivity needs troubleshooting.
Find production loss
Turn machine data into actionable improvement opportunities.
Identify recurring efficiency problems and understand where production is being lost—then decide what to investigate next.
OEE & downtime
Utilization, OEE, and downtime analysis you can explain on the floor.
Track availability and performance signals from machine data. Configure ideal cycle times where needed. Export reports for the team.
Intelligence
From monitoring to ranked opportunities.
Growth and above unlock benchmarking, cycle intelligence, opportunity detection, and FEAI insight features already built into the desktop product. Higher tiers add capacity/shift intelligence and AI-assisted analysis options.
Pricing
Pay by machines, not users.
Monitor up to 2 machines free. When your shop grows, upgrade without rebuilding your monitoring setup. Unlimited users.
Before You Connect
FEAI Machine Monitor reads CNC machine data through MTConnect.
To monitor a machine, an accessible MTConnect data source must be available on your shop network.
If your shop already has MTConnect connectivity, FEAI can connect using the available endpoint.
Some CNC machines may require an MTConnect agent, adapter, or machine-side configuration before monitoring is possible.
Not sure if your shop is ready? FEAI includes built-in connection diagnostics to help determine whether an MTConnect endpoint is available.

FAQ
Common questions
What is FEAI Machine Monitor?
A Windows desktop application for CNC shops that monitors machine status, OEE, downtime, and production history using available machine connectivity such as MTConnect, with local-first data storage.
How many machines can I monitor?
Free: up to 2. Shop: up to 5. Growth: up to 10. Scale: up to 25. Pro: up to 50. Enterprise: 50+ / multi-site via sales.
Can I start free?
Yes. Free for up to 2 machines. No credit card. No trial. No time limit.
Do I need a credit card?
Not for Free. Paid plans use Stripe Checkout for subscriptions.
What CNC machines are supported?
Supported CNC machines that provide accessible MTConnect data through an MTConnect Agent or compatible MTConnect endpoint. Connection requirements vary by CNC/controller and shop network. We do not claim universal CNC compatibility.
Does FEAI Machine Monitor require MTConnect?
Yes. FEAI Machine Monitor uses MTConnect to retrieve supported CNC machine data. The machine must provide accessible MTConnect data through an MTConnect Agent or compatible MTConnect endpoint.
Do I have to install an MTConnect Agent?
Not necessarily. Some shops already have MTConnect connectivity in place. Depending on the CNC controller and existing shop configuration, an MTConnect Agent or compatible data source may already be available. Some machines may require additional configuration or an adapter.
Does FEAI configure my CNC machine?
FEAI Machine Monitor is monitoring software. It does not automatically modify CNC controller settings or configure machine controls. The machine must provide accessible MTConnect data. FEAI includes connection diagnostics to help identify connectivity problems.
What if I don't have MTConnect?
Your machine may require an MTConnect Agent, adapter, or machine-side configuration before FEAI can monitor it. The appropriate setup depends on the CNC/controller and existing shop network.
Can FEAI find my machines?
FEAI Machine Monitor can Scan LAN for MTConnect endpoints on the selected local network using a read-only probe. Scan may not find every CNC. You can always enter the endpoint IP, port, and path manually and use Diagnose Connection.
What is MTConnect?
A public manufacturing connectivity standard used by many CNC/device agents to publish read-only machine data over HTTP. FEAI Machine Monitor is a client of that standard — it does not create MTConnect data by itself.
Does FEAI control my CNC?
No. FEAI Machine Monitor is a read-only monitoring/analytics application. It reads supported machine data and does not automatically write to or control CNC machines.
Does it work without internet?
Desktop monitoring and local SQLite history are designed to operate locally. Internet connectivity is required for licensing and commerce functions (signup, paid checkout, activation, billing portal).
How is pricing calculated?
By machines monitored—not user seats. Unlimited users on paid plans.
Can I upgrade later?
Yes. Start free with 1–2 machines and upgrade when you need machines 3–5 (Shop) or higher tiers.
Can I cancel?
Paid subscriptions can be managed in Stripe Customer Portal (Manage Billing). Access continues through the paid period and documented grace policy; local machine history is not instantly destroyed on cancel.
Do I need special hardware?
No expensive proprietary hardware is required when machine data is already available through supported connectivity such as MTConnect. Some shops may still need an agent/adapter depending on the machine.
Ready to see what you’re losing?
Monitor up to 2 machines free. No credit card. No trial. Requires an accessible MTConnect data source.
