basic information
Key features of the system: • Simple, low-cost modular design: Available for various types of molds/forming machines or general automated process monitoring, including "horizontal," "vertical," "electric," "hydraulic," and "hand press." • Efficient and robust 868 MHz wireless communication. • Real-time monitoring of the production process: Sensors transmit radio waves, which are received by a gateway for monitoring. • Statistical analysis of collected data is possible. • Plug-and-play solution: Immediate access to data through the use of a prepared centralized cloud-based platform. Enables visualization of data while keeping initial investment low. • Automatic notifications generated for necessary maintenance: Maintenance alarms can be sent when a pre-set cycle is reached. • Use of POE (Power Over Ethernet) connection for the gateway reduces wiring and allows for quick and intuitive installation. • Sensors based on energy harvesting technology (self-powering) do not require an external power source.
