Connected Worker Hardware

Sensor solutions for real-time production tracking and OEE enhancement

Maximizing Operational Efficiency

01

Continuous OEE Calculation

Incorporates comprehensive metrics such as machine cycles, speed, expected and actual output, accounting for factors like unsold time, planned maintenance, blocked mold cavities, and downtime, ensuring a thorough OEE assessment.

02

Effortless Production Data Distribution

Seamlessly delivers production data to the factory floor or remote locations without requiring operator interaction, streamlining information dissemination and promoting real-time decision-making.

03

Precision Loss Identification

Pinpoints and identifies areas of losses by leveraging multiple output sensors, offering precise insights into the factors contributing to efficiency gaps.

04

Data-Driven Instrumentation

Provides data that not only supports but actively facilitates the instrumentation and retrofitting of existing machines, ensuring a data-driven approach to equipment optimization.

05

Holistic Production Insight

Aggregates production data across lines and plants, presenting a holistic view of OEE for a specific line, an entire plant, or the organization, enabling strategic decision-making based on comprehensive insights.

06

Comprehensive Data Compilation

Compiles data efficiently by pulling information from individual sensors or various controllers, PLCs, or PCs on the production floor, offering a centralized and accessible data repository for analysis and reporting.
