Process Efficiency Monitoring System
To ensure sustainable efficiency and cost savings, SABA is introducing a revolutionary PLC-based monitoring system. This system measures adhesive consumption and production rates to provide production personnel and management with both instantaneous and long term feedback on system efficiency.
First, information on piece count and adhesive consumption is captured in the PLC. Calculations are performed and compared against a benchmark to indicate whether the proper amount of adhesive is being used on each piece. Operators and line management receive instant feedback via a light bar. In addition, data can be securely transmitted to an internal PC for further management reporting via Microsoft Excel or other programs. This allows you to track adhesive consumption by employee, shift or plant, on a daily, weekly or monthly basis. You even don’t have to be on location, the data is accessible via the (wireless) internet. |
