About

Guidewheel, legally Safi Analytics PBC, makes FactoryOps, a factory operations platform built on non-invasive sensors that clip onto machines and read their electrical signals. The software shows when each machine is running, struggling or idle, and tracks downtime, OEE, production, cycles and energy use. The company started as an energy-tracking tool and says it supports more than 400 manufacturers.

Sensors clip onto existing machines in minutes with no controller integration, so plants of any age get machine-level data without a long deployment.
