In a world of faster equipment, more complex processes and greater expectations, these goals can be difficult to achieve. FlashBack is a cutting-edge, high speed video solution that helps manufacturers accomplish these goals by taking the guesswork out of manufacturing problems. By analyzing the motion of production equipment and manufacturing processes, FlashBack allows you to quickly identify the root cause of a problem and enables you to take quick, decisive and accurate action to remedy the problem.

Place the high speed camera at potential fault points or inaccessible areas in the manufacturing process and walk away. Once a fault or stoppage occurs, the system “flashes back,” recording up to 2 minutes prior to the occurrence, the event itself, and then up to 240 minutes after the occurrence. Unlike competitive systems that require you to “scroll” through the video to find the fault, the unique value of the FlashBack system is that even though the camera is continuously recording, it only saves a video clip of the fault itself. Once captured, you can view the clip in slow motion or even frame by frame, enabling you to quickly determine the root cause of the stoppage. Once identified, the issue can be quickly rectified.

  The Global Messenger is a world class real-time method of transferring line information to PDAs and to desktops. More simply stated it is a Pocket HMI (HMI=human machine interface). You might say the Global Messenger is the next best thing to being there.

No longer do you have to rely on the displays, horns, or lights”, says Topper Hartness, the developer of this system, “Line personnel can carry a Pocket HMI. When a line PLC detects a problem, an alert is sent to the Pocket HMI via the World Wide Web. The Pocket HMI can be any device capable of receiving e-mail or SMS messages. Most PDAs, phones and some pagers can receive these messages, generally within seconds of the occurrence. This allows quick identification of the error and quick determination of the resources that are needed to fix the problem, reducing down time.”
