Industrial Grade 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.
