Production Line Counter Wireless Sensor with Downtime Monitoring

Production Line Counter with Downtime Monitoring Specifications

Using proximity sensors, this wireless sensor counts and timestamps items as they pass by on a conveyor, using the time intervals to monitor downtime. A reset button on the top of the sensor resets the counter to zero. Set custom email, text, and telephone alerts for both the production counter and the downtime timer.

• Production Line Counter
  • Counter increments as each item passes by the sensor.
  • Easy to reset using the count-reset button on the top of the enclosure.
• Production Event Timer
  • The production event timer reports the time since the previous item passed the proximity sensors.
  • Ideal for tracking downtime. (See screenshot of the SensorManager software and Excel file.)
    • Timestamps and production count are recorded with the downtime timer records.
• Fast and easy installation.
  • Mount proximity sensors and connect the cables to the Leap Sensor enclosure.
  • Plug the wall transformer into a wall outlet to power the proximity sensors.
  • Wireless transmission of data to the gateway – transmission range of several hundred feet, depending on factory conditions.
  • The data may be displayed with the SensorManager software or may be passed from the gateway to a PLC or other plant software.
