Flat Bed Machine Monitoring

Broad Overview

The Central Monitoring System of the F-2000F allows the mill supervisor to view vital flat-machine plant floor operations from a single centrally located PC screen. Management can see machine efficiencies, track order production, and see preventive maintenance (P.M.) alerts. Operator tracking is performed, as knitters and mechanics log on and off. Pre-set inspection alerts result from a programmable inspection cycle providing essential quality control, while essential shift and piece data are stored in real and historical time. Continuous Yarn Rate Monitoring provides consistent quality, while eliminating waste associated with under/over feeds.

Maximization of machine run-time is achieved, as reductions in downtime provide for rapid returns on your investment. Annual profits rise, as shift and piece data are analyzed, reasons for stops are recorded automatically, as well as manually entered reasons (declarations) for machine stoppages. F-2000FB displays on every machine, allow operators and mechanics to repair faster, less often, and ensure machines are running at top speeds, with little shift idle time. The F-2000F allows for efficient control and confident supervisory monitoring, that continually adds to your bottom line.
