Wintriss Controls Group is introducing hardware to complement its ShopFloorConnect overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) and production tracking software.
The Acton, MA–based company designed the Tracker to streamline and optimize data collection while minimizing operator involvement. The device allows users to monitor a variety of process parameters, offering a selection of pre-programmed digital inputs such as run/idle and counting, along with analog inputs for temperature, pressure, flow, voltage, and electrical current.
According to the company, it manufactures press automation, die protection, and safety controls for the metal stamping industry, along with data collection software for all types of discrete manufacturing.
Suitable for tracking injection molding operations
Temperature and pressure data are particularly valuable for tracking injection molding operations. Operators can view inputs in different formats based on their preferences.
Keith Magnant, general manager of Wintriss Controls Group, shared his excitement about the product launch.
“Based on customer feedback for a more intuitive and easy-to-use hardware solution, we developed the Tracker to automatically send unique machine data to ShopFloorConnect software,” he said.
The Tracker is WiFi-enabled and pre-configured for seamless integration into both new and existing ShopFloorConnect installations across a range of machines.
Device eliminates manual entry tasks
This cost-effective solution automatically collects critical data without requiring manual entry of job information or downtime reasons. For example, an injection molding department using ShopFloorConnect to track uptime, downtime, and OEE can now add a Tracker device to each machine. The device can be connected to a temperature sensor on one analog input and a pressure sensor on the other. If either parameter falls outside an acceptable range, the Tracker triggers an output connected to an alarm.
By reducing the need for manual data entry and providing real-time monitoring of key process parameters, the Tracker helps manufacturers improve efficiency and better manage their production environments.
