Rapidly setup new processes

Routine monitoring of your process gives you a database of profile information which will help you develop new processes accurately and efficiently. You’ll know exactly what temperature settings and line speed will give you the best quality product.

Identify problems before they affect quality

Statistical Process Control functions identify potential problems allowing you to schedule preventative maintenance at your convenience.

Find faults quickly

When problems occur because of improper heating, you’ll quickly spot the cause and location. Analyze the profile information to determine necessary corrective action, then run follow-up profiles to prove the changes were successful.

Increase productivity

Analysis of your profiles will show you how and where you can optimize operations. By rebalancing the time at temperature and heat ratios you may be able to increase line speed and product throughput. And by knowing exactly what is happening to your product in your process you’ll be able to minimize time spent on test runs and process setups — allowing a greater number of profitable production runs.

Prove process control (QS/ISO9000)

Our single page standard report is only one way our Tracker Systems prove process control — all the data files are fully traceable as well. Each includes operator name, product type and data logger serial number in addition to temperature information to prove that your process is being performed in a controlled and repeatable manner every day.

Minimize fuel costs

Rising fuel costs can significantly impact your operating budget. The simple fact is that lower costs mean higher profits. Every Tracker System gives you the information you need to make the best possible product with the highest efficiency, I.e. Less heat equals less fuel. And less fuel consumption also has a positive environmental impact!

Control product quality

A growing scrap pile or increased customer returns means only one thing – something has gone wrong. If you know precisely what is happening to your products during production you can easily reduce rejects, reduce rework, reduce scrap and reduce returns. Prevention is not as exciting as solving a problem once it has occurred, but it’s a lot more profitable. Makes sense, doesn’t it?
