Smart line control system RIO

INFORMATION success in the market. The right information consists of collecting, organising and preparing it on a regular basis in order to subsequently draw conclusions and take the appropriate measures. In principle, that sounds easy: after all, each of us already does that during a normal day at work. What is becoming increasingly important is that this process functions in an analogue and automated fashion. You no longer have to retrieve the relevant information, since it is now made available to you. That is the new premise according to which Rosendahl Nextrom designs its production solutions. The so-called Smart Factory is already becoming a reality to the company. RIO (Rosendahl Integrated Operation System) is a solution that meets these requirements and automatically organises and makes information available. determines The new 4200 Series cable testers are the latest easy-to-use testers from Cirris Systems. Available in two configurations, the high voltage 4250 tester and the low voltage 4200 tester, these systems have the same quality expected in all Cirris products. Both tester models accurately analyse cables for short, open and miswire errors and can expand up to 1,024 test points (128 per expansion box). The high voltage 4250 tester can reach voltages up to 1,500 VDC or 1,000 VAC. One of the most anticipated benefits of the 4200 Series is the integrated networking capability via Cirris Hub Software. Test programs are stored in one location on the network and test reports can be printed on any network printer. The 7" full-colour capacitive touch-screen makes it easy to navigate the software, set up test programs, and test cables. A new software interface means no advanced skills or training are necessary to begin testing. The graphical display supports Roman languages and graphical languages such as Chinese. More capability can be added by connecting the 4200 Series tester to Information automatically about production is collected, aggregated, saved locally or optionally via the cloud, analysed, reported and then optimised. For instance, each reel produced has

From the process parameters and production times all the way to the machine operator, all the information about the reel can be accessed. The advantage is that you can automatically access information about production performance, quality reports,
