Plant-Monitoring Software Has Expanded Capabilities
NPE2024: Monitoring system is said to improve plastic processors’ uptime, reduce costs, and improve service and maintenance operations.
MiVue, a division of the ACS Group, has expanded the capabilities of its plant monitoring software for plastics processors. New features and modules that have been recently added include:
- Job Report Module for lot tracking and quality accountability.
- Material Usage Module to track manufacturing material assets and cost.
- Preventive Maintenance Module to ensure proper unique maintenance schedules are followed for each machine type.
- Overall layout and control improvement based on customer input.
The monitoring software can collect information for a wide range of auxiliary equipment, including:
- Accumeter Continuous Loss in Weight Blenders
- BD Gravimetric Batch Blenders
- VacTrac Plus Conveying Systems
- T50 Central Granulators
- LHE Central Chillers
- GPL Portable Chillers
- Temperature Control Units
- GH Extrusion Control Hopper
- GH-F Gravimetric Additive Feeders
MiVue digital manufacturing connection kits offer plant managers more insight into their equipment by providing a wealth of robust production data, including material usage. Data-driven understanding of their processes improves plastic processors’ uptime, reduces costs, and improves service and maintenance operations.
MiVue’s cellular router connects injection molding and extrusion machines with auxiliary equipment through secure and encrypted data transmission. Featuring powerful analytics and cloud-based data storage, MiVue software can be used on any web-enabled device. Users receive text and email alerts to keep processes running smoothly.
