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 Smart 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 key to immediately convey the cause for the holdup by pressing a relevant key.

   Product Features:

	Smart Monitoring Unit can send an information 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.
	Provision for extra I/O lines are made through an extender port to which an IO extender module can be connected.
	LED / LCD TV can be integrated to publicize problems at different stations.
	Usage of Smart Monitoring 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 LCD Monitor / TV of desirable size.
