MONITORING BOX LAUNCHED
SICK (UK) Ltd has launched a new system that enables the monitoring and preventative maintenance of sensors, machines, process and plants. It is called “The Monitoring Box” and uses pre-configured apps on a wide range of SICK sensors. Consequently, the Box is able to provide transparent data monitoring through an intuitive, browser-based dashboard.
Device data is then processed via IoT gateways to enable local data storage on either a user’s premises or via a secure connection to the SICK cloud. It is also possible to adapt the Box for specific operating requirements in order to offer live status feedback and historical analysis.
Once customers are logged in, they are able to view all their registered devices with the AssetBrowser and then view incidents and graphical representations to identify historical patterns and trends, and use the Data Explorer and Event Log to review a record of alarms and notifications.
Neil Sandhu, Product Manager for Measurement and Systems at SICK UK, states: “Bolt on the SICK Monitoring Box and transparent information about the health of your machines is just a few short steps away….machines and systems become more available and efficient. Unplanned maintenance time is reduced and operating staff can be deployed more efficiently to respond to any issues that occur. You will extend the operating life of machines through a better understanding of historical trends and patterns.”
