Software Helps Processors Make Better Business Decisions

Maguire Products’ Tracker Monitoring and Reporting Software is billed as a cutting-edge, web-based equipment and software solution that empowers processors with comprehensive monitoring and control capabilities for all Maguire WSB Blenders, MGF Feeders, ULTRA Dryers and FlexBus Conveying Systems.

With seamless accessibility via any internet browser, Tracker is said to ensure real-time insights and secure data transmission for downloading data into a third-party database for reporting and analytics. This enables integration with ERP or other software systems for enhanced operational efficiency.

The company says Tracker represents a significant advancement in process optimization, quality control and cost management for Maguire customers. It provides invaluable support for ISO reporting and material validation, including postconsumer recycled (PCR) usage and equipment status monitoring, which ultimately facilitates smarter decision-making.

Maguire says Tracker is user-friendly and easy to install. Tracker includes a Maguire MT Hub capable of connecting an unlimited number of Maguire units using regional hubs, if necessary, over a customer’s existing network. A software subscription includes secure encrypted cloud-based data storage, rolling software updates and remote technical support after initial startup for 90 days.

Operators can perform various tasks, including sending recipes, monitoring material usage, reviewing system setup, and addressing alarms and process interactions, all from a single web-based platform, using any device. Additionally, Tracker enables remote monitoring of dryer parameters, material status, conveying operations and more to enhance operation visibility and control.

Upon log-in, users can configure their Maguire auxiliaries based on their specific operational needs, organizing equipment by type, plant location or production cell. The dashboard interface provides two access levels — operator perspective and production view — enabling users to remotely interact with Maguire blenders, feeders and ULTRA dryers. Maguire GT will also enable customers to connect with the conveying controls remotely, viewing statuses and load frequencies, and checking overall performance.
