Industrial Display is a complete system linked to optical sensors on your production line which allows monitoring of production performance both on and off the shopfloor. The Industrial Display is very flexible and comes in many guises but essentially it works as follows:
For each production line the number of units which should have been made is calculated on an on going basis (The TARGET).
Each time a unit is produced by your production line it is registered by the system (The ACTUAL).
From the target and actual production figures the efficiency of the production line is calculated (The EFFICIENCY).
All the figures are displayed on either (or both) individual line display(s) or a scoreboard showing all the lines on a single display.
The whole system is controlled by either a central PC or local controller and allows complete preprogramming of shift patterns and production rates.
Individual Industrial Displays
In most cases a 'master' line display is positioned on each production line, this takes an input from an appropriate sensor and also looks after commands from either the computer or local control unit. Further 'slave' line displays can be added on any line to replicate the information from the 'master' display. Industrial Displays are built to suit your exact requirements in terms of layout, color coding, character size (depends on viewing distance), single/double sided, number of digits (depends on how many units you anticipate making), with or without clock, your company logo and any other printing etc.
Scoreboard Displays
In most situations a scoreboard is added as a 'slave' display to replicate information from the 'master' lineboards. However where the line boards have been omitted it is possible for the scoreboard to act as a master and take inputs from the sensor and be controlled by a computer. A scoreboard placed in a prominent location is always an excellent addition to the system as it promotes competition between the lines by allowing easy and direct comparisons to be made.
Software
The control software comes included with any lineboard or scoreboard no matter how large the investment. Mimic software is also available which allows any PC on your network (LAN or WAN) to display live information from the system anywhere within your organisation.
Variations
Every Industrial Display is unique and is completely tailored to suit each customer. We are keen to incorporate new ideas into the system, the following are examples of variations on the theme:
Target and actual figures based on a rolling strike rate rather than counts of units produced.
The addition of a field to show how much longer it will take to produce the final shift target quantity based on current performance.
Fault Reporting
Any standard display can be interfaced via opto isolated inputs to any PLC. Commonly an 8 bit binary input will trigger one of 256 messages, other operating schemes can be concocted to suit individual requirements. A unique feature to Industrial Display is the ability to display the time at which the page was triggered hence showing the workforce the time at which the fault condition occurred.
