This groundbreaking sensor integrates a current switch (or other on/off contact) to track machine availability. This sensor is the ideal solution for many applications monitoring on/off, true/false, open/close types of discrete conditions.
Edge computing at the sensor node calculates the amount of time electrical current is flowing above a set threshold, as well as the time not running. It then counts the number of transitions, along with the percentage of time equipment is active. The system triggers text, email, and telephone alerts when the downtime exceeds certain user-set limits. A count-reset button on top of the enclosure resets the count at the end of a shift. Resets can also be configured to automatically be triggered at a certain time.
- Works as a idle machine sensor, while also tracking 7 manufacturing KPIs, including: machine utilization, production counts, downtime events, OEE, stop counts, total downtime, and total active time.
- Current state of the equipment, up or down, is also displayed.
- Because the sensor node must always be on to detect any transition, it is powered by a 120V wall transformer via jack at the bottom of the enclosure.
- The sensor transceiver node wirelessly transmits the data via a gateway to the Leap SensorManager user software, PLC, or other plant monitoring software.
- Quickly download data to an Excel spreadsheet to use in machine availability calculations, or display the data on your production floor using our custom dashboard option.
- Ideal for monitoring machine utilization and ROI on large capital investments.
