The article deals with a monitoring system designed for the needs of a specific production plant. Its primary purpose is to provide online information about ongoing production processes at monitored workplaces. The system will make it possible to monitor the usability of the machines and the load on individual machine elements to increase production efficiency and prevent machine breakdowns. Furthermore, it will allow to monitor the load on the tool and predict its wear in order to prevent irreversible damage and the production of scrap. To test the applicability of the system on a milling machine, a sample was designed, the elements of which were produced in two ways - HPC and trochoidal milling. With these methods of milling, different manifestations of the tool load were assumed. The experiments proved the functionality of the system. The method of transmission, recording and storage of data has proven to be fully functional. The additional results were knowledge of machine load during both milling methods.
