What is ProTracSys?

ProTracSys is a web-based productivity tracking and product traceability system. With a combination of hardware and software, it is a simple, flexible data acquisition system.

Most factories contain a variety of equipment that was not designed to tie into a central data collection and monitoring system, or at least not the same system. And, at the cost to update or fully retro-fit the equipment it would probably exceed the budget made available. The expense and time required for engineering to implement such a system would also deter a company from pursuing it. Companies may find that their factories are full of islands of information. The data exists, but only on a specific piece of equipment. Limited access to the equipment may restrict access to the individuals who need the information. Thus, the system is never used to its full potential.

ProTracSys was designed to help companies improve their productivity and efficiency by providing them a solution that is easy to implement, allows full access to the data, and is a fraction of the cost of traditional industrial solutions. ProTracSys is an independent data collection system, so it can interface with industrial hardware, regardless of manufacturer. Access to the system is performed through a web browser, thus there are no software licenses required. Designed to be configured by a person with no programming experience, it takes the difficulty out of database access with its simple user interface. ProTracSys keeps your information safe in a secure SQL database.

ProTracSys can:

• Track machine uptime, downtime, and idle time
• Monitor processes and generate e-mail reminders when maintenance is due
• Track equipment rates and quantities
• Monitor equipment/employee efficiency
• Associate data to serial numbers, machinery, and batches
• Automatically generate reports based on information from the last hour, day, week, year...

Here are just some of the features of ProTracSys:

• Focused on integrating with vision systems
• Designed to integrated with a variety of equipment located on plant floor
• Allows 100% inspection and data storage for every part produced
• Makes real-time plant data accessible to authorized users
• Requires no programming experience to configure
• Modular - ProTracSys can grow as your company grows
• Allows manufacturing personnel to enter notes - downtime reasons, part number/batch info, etc.
