Real-time process monitoring and archiving
Due to increased operating speeds, today’s modern high-performance/LBX-SBX stacking systems run too fast for the operator to observe the product flow and to identify potential jams at the machine’s critical transition points. Simply stated, the board is just traveling too fast!
Recognizing this need, the Geo. Martin Company has developed the SmartView™ Board Surveillance System (BSS), which consists of four cameras, strategically placed, such that all critical transitional points are digitally recorded. Should a jam, or loss of sheet control occur, the video can be recalled and slowed, allowing the operator to quickly identify and address the root cause of the problem. SmartView is available on all new RDC Stackers, and retrofittable to existing Geo. Martin Stackers.
4 Cameras:
- 2 high-speed at the Operator & Drive Side at Die Cutter to Layboy/Scrubber™ Transition
- 1 for Operator Side at Layboy/Scrubber to Transfer Deck
- 1 for Drive Side at Stacking Deck to Hopper
All Support Electronics including:
- High Definition Monitor integrated into Stacker Operator Station
- Industrial CPU located in Air-Conditioned Stacker Cabinet
- Surveillance Software installed to watch both real-time and slow replay
