Software Automatically Logs Downtime
and Reasons in Real Time
Wintriss Controls Group Booth S4737
Wintriss Controls Group will display ShopFloorConnect asset-utilization software, able to collect data from stamping presses, press brakes, laser-cutting machines, tube lasers, tur-
ret presses, machin- ing centers, auto- mated saws, welding machines, injection molders, paint lines and packaging machines. The soft- ware displays real- time machine-status information on a PC or mobile device— no need to install
any special software. It automatically delivers reports showing downtime analysis and OEE, and provides the vital real-time data missing from many ERP and MES systems.
ShopFloorConnect is a turnkey solution that is scalable and flexible, and quickly can be implemented into any discrete man- ufacturing environment. It comes factory-configured to com- municate directly over your LAN with the ShopFloorConnect
Machine Interface (SMI). The SMI installs on any machine, and using only two readily available control signals can track the machine’s operating status, production rate and part count (where applicable)—with no operator involvement. It features built-in Ethernet connectivity to communicate with the ShopFloor- Connect server over an existing network.
