Manufacturing Condition Monitoring

From Tekscan, Inc.
 

 

One of the challenges faced by production managers and engineers is to minimize damage and loss of product during manufacturing. Sensor Wireless Inc. has developed specialized wireless technology to solve these problems. Their wireless sensors transmit data on the handling and environmental parameters found within each system and allow users to view the results in real time. In just moments users can determine root cause and improve quality.

Sensor Wireless developed a monitoring system for well-known beverage and breakfast cereal manufacturers. Sensor Wireless approached Tekscan, Inc to develop a customized force sensor that could be integrated into their wireless system to accurately and effectively determine forces applied to bottles and boxes by production line rails, robotic grippers, and adjacent bottles/boxes during production. Tekscan responded by creating a custom sensor that coordinates with Sensor Wireless Inc's electronics to relay this information, which is vital in preventing breakage or dents in the final product.
