Tong Engineering is offering a time-saving Diagnostics module as part of its latest pro-series Auto-Touch HMI touch screen control. Available as an option on all its latest equipment, Tong’s pro-series controls can be specified as part of the Auto-Touch HMI control system.
“The idea behind our latest Diagnostics module is to provide the user with continuous system monitoring and reporting, so they can see how their equipment or line is running at any given time, in real time.” explains Tony Smith, technical manager at Tong Engineering. “The Diagnostics module is a highly proactive system, which includes regular notifications of assurance when the line is running efficiently, as well as real-time alerts of any issues that potentially need checking or maintenance for optimal operation. By being proactive, any issues can be rectified quickly to prevent further deterioration,meaning downtime and maintenance really is kept to a minimum, saving time, labour and ultimately costs.”
Working alongside the Diagnostics module is a new Maintenance Schedule module, which allows the run-time of any machine component to be recorded in terms of running hours or calendar periods, indicating when any part may need to be maintained or changed, making any scheduled maintenance much more efficient.
