Control Solutions and Delta Technical Systems release Machine Monitoring and Control (MM&C) unit for facilities maintenance

September 12, 2007

In a joint development effort, Control Solutions, Inc. and Delta Technical Systems announce the release of a Machine Monitoring and Control (MM&C) unit designed with Eaton Cutler-Hammer components. The MM&C addresses the increasing need for real-time machine data collection and display which networks with production management systems. This is an especially useful device for facilities managers who want to track machine maintenance data that is not available from their proprietary or closed control systems.

Without disturbing the current control scheme/control wiring, the MM&C unit can interface with machine controls or sensors to display, trend and report vital maintenance and production information to facility managers. The MM&C unit can connect machines over a network to an information server for important data collection, analysis and reporting. Data can be transferred over a company wide or independent network through secured wireless transmission, copper or fiber cabling media. Data collection devices such as bar code and RFID scanners are easily integrated into the unit for capturing operator and work order information. This increases manufacturing productivity and eliminates costly recording errors.
