PROCESS MONITORING

Production disturbances are expensive to any manufacturer. A few seconds can be of significant importance when it comes to material and process problems. Product failures and subsequent scrap costs can be avoided by quicker response to corrections when observing performance against known parameters.

With a wireless Ascom process monitoring solution, suspect deviations are instantly sent to operators as text messages, wherever they are. This, of course, means that operators can respond more quickly to any potential problems and staff on the floor can act independently. Process alarms no longer have to go to a control room, only to be sent again to an employee. The messages go directly to the people best able to handle the situation nobody has to be sitting all day – and all night – in a control room gazing at screens. Workers can attend to other tasks, but remain reachable in case they need to respond.
