The
Process Monitor Device (P.M.D.)
is designed to eliminate human error during the change
over and assembly process. The system will monitor all
part errors. On the operator screen, a graphical representation
will display both feeder and nozzle errors. This allows
operators to repair problem feeders or nozzles before
defects can be caused. In short, data generated from
the P.M.D. will
allow quick diagnosis of production issues as well as
satisfy management reporting requirements. |

•
Feeders are given a unique ID
• When parts are loaded, they are
attached to the feeder. The operator scans in:
- part number
- quantity
- vendor information
- data code
- feeder ID number
• The P.M.D.
identifies feeder changeovers based on the current program
• The P.M.D.
will track the feeder and part location whether it is
on a machine or rack
waiting to be used
• All data is stored on a SQL database.
Reports can be generated from anywhere in the
facility. Customized reporting
is available.

Here are
some of the main benefits of using the P.M.D.
system:
• Eliminate human error (wrong parts on the machine)
• Automated changeover (reduces changeover time)
• Simplify troubleshooting (preempt defects)
• Traceability (parts usage, data codes, vendors)
• Locations of feeders and parts assigned are
known
• Records both cycle and down time |
