Turn Your Haunted Factory into a Smart Factory This Halloween!

Just for Fun|

As the leaves turn and shadows grow longer, factories everywhere prepare for the spooky season. But instead of carving pumpkins, why not carve out a plan to banish the ghastly gremlins lurking in your machinery? This Halloween, let’s explore how installing wireless sensors can help you turn your haunted factory into a smart factory, all while tackling those classic spooky problems that seem to haunt industrial settings.

How a Wireless Temperature Monitoring System Can Help with a Heat Illness Prevention Plan

News|

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. This summer has tied last year’s summer for the hottest recorded summer, but as hot as it may be, there are indoor workplaces that are even hotter. It’s not unusual for foundries to reach 180 degrees Fahrenheit, well beyond safe working conditions for the human body. This is […]

Enhance Manufacturing Efficiency with the Leap Production Counter & Manufacturing Downtime Sensor

News|

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.

This is not your average digital production counter. It goes beyond mere counting by offering real-time data […]

Keep Your Resolutions with Help from Leap Sensors

Technology Explainers|

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 […]

How the Leap Sensor System Works with a Kaizen Event.

News|

Kaizen’s principle is “Be visible: performance and improvements should be tangible and visible.” And Phase IV couldn’t agree more. 

But what is Kaizen? Ultimately it is a method that when implemented, creates a system of continuous improvement. The word “kaizen” comes from the Japanese meaning “change for the better.” In English, we think of Kaizen more simply as “improvement”. Specifically with manufacturing, the goal of Kaizen is to “go lean” by improving current standardized processes and […]

A Manufacturer’s Guide to the 5 Most Important Wireless Sensors

News, Technology Explainers|

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.

This is exactly why […]

Proof! You Really Can Install a Leap Sensor System In 5 Minutes

News|

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 […]

Ensuring Compressed Air Quality with a Wireless Pressurized Dew Point Sensor: A Game Changer for Industrial Applications

New Products, Technology Explainers|

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

What is Pressurized Dew Point?

There’s always moisture present in the ambient air (think humidity). When the air temperature drops, the moisture condenses and forms dew. Dew point is defined as the temperature at […]
