Machine interface enhances data-collection capabilities
Machine InterfaceLETS machine interface (LMI) operator terminal collects production data from any production machine. Users can feed production data to ERP or Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) software, schedule automatic generation of production and Overall Equipment Efficiency (OEE) reports and view machine status in real time. The LMI comes with a built-in RJ-45 connector to facilitate connection to the Ethernet. The unit has a 5.6-inch color touch screen that provides easy access to programming functions. Users can select the data to be collected, which includes parts count and preset, scrap count, machine idle time, and downtime reasons. Collected data can be identified by job number, tool number, and/or part number. Operator number can also be captured. Create up to 32 downtime reason codes and control the order in which downtime reasons display on the terminal.
