PLEET Stop – Get a complete overview of production stoppages in real time
With PLEET Stop, you get a precise and actionable overview of your production stoppages. The system is designed for manufacturing companies that want to reduce downtime, optimize operations, and make decisions based on data—not gut feelings.
Track and Understand Your Production Downtime
When a production machine stops, it is crucial to know the cause. With PLEET Stop, the operator can easily identify the cause of the stoppage directly at the machine via an intuitive on-screen display or through the PLEET app. It takes only a few seconds—but provides valuable insight.
The system automatically collects data on:
- When production will stop
- How long will the stoppage last?
- What is the reason for the stoppage?
PLEET can also communicate directly with the vast majority of production machines. This means that the system can automatically retrieve the causes of stoppages directly from the machine, without the need for manual recording. This ensures even more accurate data and reduces the risk of errors.
Overview of the distribution of causes by production machine
PLEET Stop provides you with a detailed overview of the causes of stoppages for each individual production machine. This means you can quickly identify the biggest challenges in your production.
Among other things, you’ll get:
- Clear visualization of the most common reasons for stops
- Insight into Which Machines Cause the Most Downtime
- A solid foundation for optimization and prioritization
Real-time overview of production
With PLEET Stop, you always have a real-time overview of production. You can monitor operations live and respond immediately if any problems arise.
Benefits of real-time data:
- Faster response time when stopping
- Better Coordination in Production
- Increased efficiency and less wasted time
Display solution directly on the machine or via the PLEET app
A user-friendly screen can be set up at each machine, allowing the operator to record the causes of stoppages. The simple screen layout ensures that recording these causes becomes a natural part of the work process—without disrupting production.
The display solution can also be accessed via the app, which is part of PLEET Notify. The PLEET app can be used on a phone or tablet. You can read more about PLEET Notify here: https://pleet.dk/pleet-notify/
Data and Statistics for Analysis
All data can be extracted and used for further analysis. For example, you can export statistics on reasons for termination to Excel so you can continue working on optimization, reporting, and documentation.
By default, PLEET comes with a range of pre-built reports that help you identify patterns, bottlenecks, and areas for improvement in production from day one. This means you’ll quickly gain insight into where you can optimize—without having to build complex analyses from scratch yourself.
You’ll have immediate access to actionable data, allowing you to respond quickly and work in a structured way to make improvements.
Here’s what you get:
- Data-Driven Decision-Making
- Opportunity for continuous improvement
- Documentation of Production Performance
Reduce downtime and speed up restarts
Once you know the causes of your stoppages, you can take action to address them. PLEET Stop helps reduce downtime and ensures a faster restart of production.
The result is:
- More stable operation
- Increased Productivity
- Better Bottom Line
That’s why manufacturing companies choose PLEET Stop
PLEET Stop isn’t just a tracking tool—it’s a tool for real optimization. When you gain insight into your production stoppages, you also gain the ability to eliminate them.

5 Good Reasons to Understand the Causes of Production Shutdowns
Click the arrows to expand the explanations.
You can quickly resume production
Once you know the cause of the machine stoppage, you can quickly take the necessary steps to resume production. This reduces downtime and increases productivity, which can have a direct impact on the company’s bottom line.
You can minimize additional costs
Unplanned machine downtime can lead to increased costs due to lost production, overtime, and possibly the need to repair or replace equipment. By identifying the cause, you can minimize these additional costs.
Easy to Plan Maintenance
Understanding the cause of the machine stoppage makes it easier to plan maintenance work and production schedules to avoid future disruptions.
It strengthens your business relationships
Frequent machine downtime can affect your delivery times and reliability with customers and suppliers. Being able to handle these situations professionally and effectively strengthens your business relationships.
You'll avoid wasting time on troubleshooting
By accurately diagnosing the problem, you can avoid wasting time and resources on solving the wrong problems. This helps optimize the use of labor and spare parts.
How do you use PLEET to detect when the machine has stopped and to resume production?
In principle, there are three methods for determining whether your machine has stopped and for identifying the cause.
The choice of method in each specific situation depends, among other things, on the machine type, complexity, and your preferences.
Method 1
An operator notices that it has stopped and records the cause by pressing the “stop cause” button on the PLEET terminal.
Method 2
A PLEET input module is used to detect when the drive signal disappears, indicating that the machine has stopped. The operator can then either select the cause immediately on the screen or edit it later, changing it from “Unknown cause” to the actual cause.
Method 3
PLEET is directly connected to the machine’s control system. Through this connection, PLEET retrieves the current status. Here you can see whether the machine is running; if the machine is stopped, PLEET can indicate the reason for the stoppage.
