DRU-DOCTOR-MONITOR: Setting a new benchmark in digital supervision for wire production

Technological leadership in wire production is no longer defined by mechanical performance alone. Unplanned downtime, hidden energy losses, scrap generation, and lack of process visibility now have a direct impact on competitiveness and margins.

In this context, process control, data transparency, and digital integration have become decisive factors. DRUIDS Process Technology has built its positioning around this reality, combining advanced machine design with digital supervision tools developed specifically for wire drawing and galvanizing applications.

From raw data to operational control

DRU-DOCTOR-MONITOR reflects DRUIDS’ approach to equipment design: digital supervision is not an add-on, but an integral part of the line architecture. The system integrates natively into DRUIDS wire production solutions such as the DRU-GAL eco-galvanizing lines and DRU-VECTOR drawing lines, and is designed to understand real wire production dynamics, from speeds and recipes to alarms, consumptions, and quality deviations.

By collecting data directly from PLCs and sensors, DRU-DOCTOR-MONITOR provides real-time visibility of key indicators including output, availability, OEE, energy use, and alarms. Operators, maintenance teams, and management access the same data set through role-specific dashboards, improving coordination, and eliminating blind spots that often hide inefficiencies and losses until they become costly problems.

Supporting proactive and cost-efficient production

The system shifts operations from reactive intervention to proactive control. Alarm analysis and trend monitoring support preventive and predictive maintenance strategies, reducing unplanned downtime. At the same time, detailed tracking of energy and consumables allows wire producers to calculate cost per ton, compare recipes, and optimize operating parameters, with direct, measurable impact on margins and long-term operational sustainability.

Transparency, traceability, and long-term optimization

DRU-DOCTOR-MONITOR centralizes quality data acquisition and supports production planning within a single monitoring environment, leveraging historical process analysis to ensure full traceability, audit readiness, and data-driven continuous improvement across industrial operations. It is a strategic tool that reinforces DRUIDS’ role as a long-term technology partner for the wire industry.
