WeASSIST questions, answered.
Call (877) 727-8757 if your question isn't here.
What is WERMA WeASSIST?
WeASSIST combines cloud software and WERMA hardware to monitor machines, manual workstations and material flows. Status information and production analysis appear in one shared view for production and logistics teams.
Can WeASSIST work with older machines?
In most cases, yes. WeASSIST is designed for retrofits: transceivers read the 24 V signals that machines and signal towers already produce. Compatibility depends on the signals available, so share your machine details and we will check them.
How does the system collect and transmit data?
Transceivers capture 24 V status signals from machines, signal towers or Andon call buttons and send them by industrial radio to a WeASSIST gateway. The gateway connects to the WeASSIST cloud through Ethernet.
Does WeASSIST need a local server or programming?
No local server or software installation is needed. WeASSIST runs in the cloud and dashboards are configured without code. Hardware installation, network access for the gateway and signal configuration still need to be planned for your site.
Can I monitor downtime and OEE?
Yes. WeASSIST records stoppages and their duration for downtime analysis and supports OEE monitoring. OEE needs availability, performance and quality inputs, so the signals and targets are configured for your application.
Can our team use WeASSIST on mobile devices?
Yes. WeASSIST works in a web browser and in apps for iOS and Android, including push notifications. What each person sees depends on their user permissions.
What determines the cost of a WeASSIST system?
Pricing depends on how many machines or workstations you monitor, the hardware each one needs, the number of gateways and the software subscription. Send us your details for a written quote with lead times.
