CAPTURE Capture Actionable Data The devices that outfit automated production lines—sensors, tower lights, motor drives, valves, and other components—transmit electronic signals as part of their basic functionality. For example, whenever a sensor detects an item moving along a conveyor, or activates an indication light, or identifies that a motor is running hot, there is a pulse of activity. By adding a system to monitor these signals, you can unlock a wealth of valuable information. By monitoring a single sensor, you begin to understand cycle time, throughput, and uptime. If you had multiple...
