Improve on calendar scheduled Preventive Maintenance.
You need actual run time and number of cycles on machines and tooling for effective maintenance scheduling. Instead of manually reading meters and counters, use MDT-02 Machine Data Transducers to electronically link all types of production machines to EAM/CMMS.
Export data to EAM/CMMS and analyze equipment performance.
MDT-02 is a $295 networked "black box" that connects directly to all types of production machines. It communicates with Windows ProductionACE software that automatically exports machine cycle count and total run time to your EAM/CMMS. Software also provides a real-time dashboard of machine utilization, productivity and OEE calculations: percent of capacity, yield, uptime, standard rate.
Beyond PM: Improve your manufacturing productivity.
ProductionACE can be economically upgraded to a complete machine monitoring, data collection, production scheduling and Preventive Maintenance application including a bi-directional link from the production floor to your ERP system.
Economical to install.
MDT-02 doesn't need 120VAC power to run--it gets power from a Communications Interface at PC. Your plant electrician can install MDT-02 because it accepts switch, open collector and 24 to 120V AC/ DC machine cycling signals that already exist in the machine. Its housed in the familiar "single gang" metal electrical junction box so it can easily be mounted anywhere.
Economical to purchase.
A complete system costs under $500 per machine (a 15 machine system), including on-machine MDT-02 Machine Data Transducers, multi-user ProductionACE software and 1000' of communications cable.
