Summer may be coming to a close, but the temperature isn’t coming down. OSHA’s putting in plans to help us beat the heat, and Phase IV’s Wireless Leap Sensor system can help. […]
I witness first-hand what makes Destination Imagination so special and why I think DI does a great job of teaching kids real-life skills.
Imagine having a tool that not only tracks production in real time but also provides invaluable insights into downtime events, stop counts, production rates, line rates and Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE). Meet the Leap Production Counter & Manufacturing Downtime Sensor – a game-changer for anyone involved in manufacturing operations. […]
It’s a week into January – raise your hand if you’ve already broken your New Year’s resolution. Well, you’re not alone. It’s been reported that 80% of resolutions get broken by February. So this year, instead of the usual New Year’s resolutions- be healthier, quit a bad habit, finally learn how to do that one thing you’ve always said you wanted to do– let Phase IV help you make some New Year’s resolutions that you can […]
The holiday season is upon us! Here’s our ultimate holiday gift guide with ideas for what our customers tell us they really want to make their work lives a little easier in 2024. […]
Kaizen’s principle is “Be visible: performance and improvements should be tangible and visible.” And Phase IV couldn’t agree more. […]
Shigeo Shingo, an industrial engineer who pioneered the Toyota Production System (TPS) said, “The most dangerous kind of waste is the waste we do not recognize.” Manufacturers are on a never-ending quest to identify and eliminate waste. The more efficiently a factory runs, the more profitable it will be. The key is identifying the waste and turning it into an improvement. […]
We say it all the time: “Our sensors are up and running in just five minutes,” and we really do mean it. When we designed the Leap Sensors system, we knew one key would be to ensure the installation process was as streamlined as possible. That’s why our wireless sensors arrive pre-configured and ready for “plug and play” installation. We’ve removed the hassle of pulling wires and time-consuming software setup. Adding additional sensors to the Leap Sensor system […]
In a factory, compressed air is as essential as electricity and water. It powers pneumatic pistons, tools, cleaning equipment, and more. The challenge, however, is keeping the lines moisture-free, since air in the lines can easily form condensation […]
