This presentation explores how the latest conveyor and sortation hardware and control systems are being designed to anticipate or be alerted to problems quickly, maximize MTBF and uptime, and minimize MTTR. We will also examine the benefits of real time and historical data monitoring and visualization to reduce downtime, decrease maintenance and increase operational efficiency and throughput.

VisualizationA complete Monitoring and Visualization Solution (MVS) provides distribution centers with real-time visibility to the plant floor
You Can’t Manage What You Don’t Measure.
View systems real-time such as conveyor status,
lane capacity, alarm faults,
energy data, etc.).

Provide Real-Time Alerts to Maintenance Staff
• An MVS also provides the maintenance staff data and alerts on the plant floor equipment (e.g. motor statuses, jams, missing pins, etc.).
• Consider the addition of real time video integration that can help maintenance staff understand a real time fault/alarm alert with a visual, by
• Leveraging PTZ cameras to Pan Tilt Zoom to the exact location of the alarm fault to provide a visual (example: Fire door jammed with boxes, or jam due to a mechanical / electrical fault) allowing maximum use of visibility across the DC with minimal amount of cameras
Data Alerts & Alarms on the plant floor equipment (e.g. motor
