The Challenge

The customer needed to monitor non-contact alignment and non-contact process temperature in different positions along a 100-meter production line. Space around the line is tight and operators and forklift trucks are passing by constantly. Installation of correctly routed cables from sensors back to the control station would have been expensive and would have taken too long and caused too much disruption to ongoing operations.

About The Customer

A manufacturer of high-performance industrial building products.

The Solution

The system was configured with SensiNet sensing nodes to monitor temperatures with infra-red sensors and align processes using precise laser alignment sensors. SensiNet OnCall software was used to display the data and generate alerts. The alerts from the OnCall software can be transmitted to pre-determined recipients by a number of means including Skype, e-mail, SMS text message, GPRS and web page.

Data Collected

Device Diagnostic Status, Maintenance Requirements, Temperature

Operational Impact

[Efficiency Improvement - Operation]
Problems are indicated to line operators when the condition of a device or associated equipment changes beyond predetermined limits.
[Data Management - Data Analysis]
Cloud solutions enable aggregation of 'big data' to enable more robust analytics for continuous process optimization.
[Efficiency Improvement - Maintenance]
Real-time status reports enable maintenance personnel to remotely diagnose the status of a device.
