An industrial machine monitoring system is designed to do these:
- Capture data from machines.
- Transfer the data to a computer that has software for analyzing the raw data.
- Report the data to people, or send it to other software or other machines.

The computer can be on-premise, meaning within the physical boundaries of the organization, or on the Cloud. Connection can be via a mobile phone network or via wired or WiFi LAN and broadband. These are the options available for machine data collection.
On-premise system
Sensors on machines send data to a server within your organization. The connection between sensors and the server can be wired or WiFi LAN. Users can see reports on the production monitoring system if they are on the same LAN, from within the shop floor.
Cloud based system
The sensors on machines send data to a Cloud server outside your organization. The connection between sensors on the machine can be direct IOT, via a mobile phone network, by wired LAN or WiFi LAN. Users can see reports from anywhere on earth, on the Web. In the case of the direct IOT via the mobile phone network, there is no IT infrastructure required on the shop floor for data transfer. In the wired or WiFi LAN systems, you need LAN cabling, switches, access points, repeaters, etc. In the on-premise system, you additionally need a server within the organization.
Here are the layouts for various machine monitoring solutions.
