Committee member, Cheryl Hird thanking Rob De Oliveira from Matech.
The March 2026 SAIMC Johannesburg technology event was proudly hosted by Matech. The SAIMC Johannesburg management committee extends its sincere appreciation to Rob De Oliveira for his time, and for delivering an insightful presentation focusing on business intelligence made simple.
Coreview is an industrial monitoring solution that provides real-time machine performance data to support informed, data-driven operational decisions. Designed to be non-intrusive, the system integrates seamlessly with a wide range of field sensors and instruments, allowing companies to gain visibility into their production processes without disrupting existing operations. With a simple and intuitive setup, management teams can quickly begin monitoring and reporting on key production metrics. Once connected, Coreview continuously collects and processes data, presenting it through an easy-to-use online portal. This allows operators, supervisors and management to monitor plant performance and identify opportunities for improvement.
One of Coreview’s most valuable capabilities is its detailed downtime analysis, and by highlighting when and where production interruptions occur, the system provides clear insight into the causes of lost productivity. Over time, this data reveals trends and patterns that help organisations identify recurring issues, optimise workflows, and improve overall efficiency.
Implementing Coreview is straightforward. The process begins by installing a standalone field device and connecting it to a relevant process sensor on a machine or plant. The system supports a wide range of measurable metrics, including meters, weight, temperature, flow and units produced. After completing a simple configuration on the Coreview portal, users can immediately begin monitoring performance and generating reports.
Coreview can typically be installed within one working day. It provides accurate and reliable data processing, and eliminates manual data capturing. Secure cloud access ensures that production data can be viewed anytime, from anywhere. The system also tracks both machine and workforce performance while providing a cost-effective solution for measuring overall equipment effectiveness, enabling companies to benchmark their operations against local and international industry standards.
