What are Smart Factory Solutions, and how can they benefit my factory?
Smart Factory Solutions use digital displays and production monitoring systems to make important factory information easier to see and understand. They can display production targets, actual output, OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness), downtime, machine status and workplace safety information.
Can Custronics displays connect to our existing PLC and production machines?
Yes. Depending on the selected display and system configuration, Custronics industrial displays can receive data from compatible PLCs, controllers and other equipment. Supported communication options may include RS232, RS485, Modbus RTU and Ethernet TCP/IP, as well as selected analogue and digital signals. Compatibility should be confirmed against your existing PLC model, communication protocol and data requirements before ordering.
Can the system display production targets, actual output, OEE and downtime in real time?
Yes. The display can be configured to show relevant production information, such as target versus actual output, achievement percentage, machine status, downtime duration, reject counts and OEE. Automatic updates depend on the connected data source, communication method and system configuration.
Are Smart Factory display systems suitable for Malaysian factory environments?
Yes. Industrial display solutions can be selected for a variety of factory environments, including manufacturing plants, assembly lines, warehouses and production areas. The appropriate enclosure, display brightness, mounting method and operating specifications depend on the installation location.
