Why can't I see data as soon as I install?

Amper requires a calibration period to ensure the accuracy of your readings. During this time, we monitor signals to confirm that our hardware is correctly translating what your machine is saying. We don't want you making decisions with bad data!
How long will it take for me to see live data?
plus sign icon
Calibration periods depend on your number of machines. Pilots can expect a 7-10 day calibration period, while full factory deployments are around 14-21 days.
Can I use barcode scanners to enter information in Amper?
plus sign icon
Bluetooth scanners will work! For fields you can type in, insert text by clicking into the field and then scanning the barcode.

Hard-wired USB scanners do not work well since they usually disable normal typing.
Why does my machine show up as "idle" if it's in production?

The Amper system has a 7-minute delay when updating information. Wait 10 minutes and re-check the status of your machine in Amper. If issues persist or certain data doesn't look right, let us know at support@amper.xyz, as we may need to recalibrate your machines.
Why are my reports publishing incorrect data?
