Emerson and Arrowhead Systems Partner on Next-Gen Machine Monitoring Solution
Emerson and Arrowhead Systems Inc. have partnered to produce a next-generation, machine health monitoring solution, which will increase uptime for high-speed palletizer production used in container stacking but is also adaptable for use with other primary products.
The Busse SJI Viper™ high speed bulk palletizer and Alpha Turbo TM high speed depalletizer are paired with Emerson’s machine health monitoring to give customers a solution for greater overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) by monitoring, in real-time, critical motion and pneumatic system parameters including air flow, pressure, vacuum, mechanical actuation speeds and motor vibration. System analytics and health information is processed at the edge via a local data historian with both local display or remote monitoring on a tablet or smartphone giving operators an easily accessible tool to monitor health.
