Assembly Line Monitoring System(ALMS)

          Generally a product made of several Components and Processes is manufactured by adding various different Components at different Assembly stations and by running it through several Processes again at different stages. Manufacturing such products necessiates movement of semifinished product from one stage to the next stage which is handled by a conveyor belt kind of a system. At every stage there could be several Components that are added or several Processes that the product is subjected to. In this method of manufacturing at every stage there is a dependency on the previous stages to get a semifinished product, to add some more Components, and to pass it on to the next stage. This method also runs the risk of Assembly line hold up due to any problem in any one of the stages. Thus it is very crucial, to identify stages that are causing hold ups and communicate immediately the exact reason for such hold ups, to the concerned personnel. Speed at which these signals are picked up and communicated actually determines the hold up time of Assembly lines.

      The Assembly Line Monitoring System designed by Process Care Systems helps in immediately sensing any hold up in any one of the stages automatically and communicate reason for hold up either automatically or with some more inputs from the operator at a particular stage instantaneously.

   Advantages of our ALMS:

           Assembly Line Monitoring System interconnects all the stations in an assembly line to a supervisor. Every assembly station is provided with a Station Monitoring Unit (SMU) which allows the operator at a particular station to convey any problem at the station causing the assembly line hold up. Commonly encountered causes are allocated hot keys to immediately convey the cause for the holdup by pressing a relevant key. Provision is also made to make a voice call to the supervisor either to communicate a cause for holdup not found on the keypad or to describe already conveyed cause in detail. The addition of this voice channel makes the system user-friendly even for the operators with very little education and only knowing the regional language.

   Product Features:

	Station Monitoring Unit can send if a station is down automatically by continuously monitoring activity at the Station.
	Programmable threshold time after which a station is declared to be down in the absence of activity.
	Both audio visual alarms are activated when a station is down attracting the operator to communicate the reason for down by pressing a relevant key.
	Option is available to pickup extra four ON/OFF inputs from a process or machine.
	Voice channel is provided to describe problem associated with a station to enable communication in a regional language.
	LED based Jumbo displays can be integrated to publicize problems at different stations.
	Usage of LCD Supervisory display unit makes the system work in a stand alone mode without any help of a PC.
	Provision is made to segregate the reasons for down at several stations and route them to the respective departments to be showed on an LED display board.
