Delivering Affordable Manufacturing Automation Solutions
The GenesisMaxim Equipment Monitoring and Control System is a standardized automation system that provides centralized SCADA capabilities to virtually any manufacturing line or process. The system combines state-of-the-art PLC and PC power with a single pre-configured software package that is ready to install right out of the box with no schematics and minimal engineering required. The result is a modern automation solution for approximately half the cost of proprietary one-off systems.
GenesisMaxim Automation System Features
Minimal Engineering, Simplified Coding, and No Schematics
The GenesisMaxim is wired using an innovative coding system that enables fast setup and easily directs an operator from a device or piece of equipment to its corresponding active line of code within the controls software. This system simplifies the location, connection, and troubleshooting of any I/O.
No Proprietary Components, No Planned Obsolescence
The standardization built into the GenesisMaxim allows manufacturers to protect the valuable uptime that is often lost by expensive, time-consuming proprietary systems that require specialized parts and expertise for maintenance and repair. Standardized replacement parts typically cost about 20% less than proprietary systems. They are also readily available from a wider selection of vendors, and they can quickly and easily be replaced by a system operator or by OEE DataWatch.
OSHA Compliance & Safety Built-In
Software and controls are housed in a low-voltage compartment in the top of the cabinet, while a separate compartment at the bottom houses electrical components. This allows operators to gain safe, easy access to controls for troubleshooting live automation without the need for personal protective equipment or lockout/tagout and without disrupting uptime. This design complies with OSHA requirements for operational safety.
Secure Communication for Remote Troubleshooting
The PC component of the GenesisMaxim displays real-time process data screens and can securely deliver process and equipment information to authorized personnel anywhere via an internet-ready device. The PC is equipped with two (2) ethernet cards and a dedicated IP address that limits communication to one-way, out-only data streaming, so process data is secure. The cyber-secure internet communication also allows system integrators, operators, and OEE DataWatch to remotely troubleshoot and service the system from anywhere with an internet-enabled device.
Complete Start-to-Finish Support
OEE DataWatch supports every automation project from initial quote and programming through delivery and installation on the factory floor. Support includes free access to OEE’s growing library of online training tutorials that are designed to place manufacturers in complete control of their automation system. OEE engineers are also available after delivery to assist with setup, maintenance, and troubleshooting.

OSHA Compliance
Built-In OSHA Compliance Built-In OSHA Compliance
Traditional automation systems place the burden of OSHA compliance and safety on the manufacturer, which unnecessarily results in longer lead times and larger financial investments. The GenesisMaxim eliminates this needless burden and expense for manufacturers with an out-of-the-box design that has OSHA compliance and safety built in.
Top-to-Bottom Safety
The GenesisMaxim Equipment Monitoring and Control System is designed with two separate locking compartments, top and bottom. All low-voltage controls are conveniently housed in the top compartment, while a separate compartment at the bottom houses the electrical components.
Troubleshooting without PPE or Lockout/Tagout
With the high-voltage electrical components housed separately in a compartment below the low-voltage controls, operators can gain safe, easy access to controls for live troubleshooting without the need for personal protective equipment or lockout/tagout. Down below, the high-voltage electrical compartment is locked at all times and requires system shutdown and lockout/tagout for safe entry. This dual-compartment configuration provides a centralized automation solution that complies with OSHA requirements for operational safety right out of the box.
SIL 3 E-Stop Circuit
Every GenesisMaxim includes an E-stop that connects to a SIL 3 relay with built-in redundancy. This feature provides remote equipment shutdown capability to protect the safety of line operators in an emergency. Additional E-stops can be easily added to safeguard additional lines and equipment as needed.
