What is needed?

ProTracSys uses a collection of both hardware and software as part of their web-based solution.  What is needed can vary based on the user's needs and available resources.  Compiled below are questions to help us identify your needs.

Every factory floor is different. Some contain a series of assembly cells, while others contain a single, continuous line. The product could be a simple, high volume piece. While others produce a product at a lower rate but require a tight level of tolerances. The data needed from each process can vary. Do you want to monitor the status of your equipment, or the product your equipment makes? Do you want to know if your equipment is sitting idle or producing product? Or, do you want to know the results from your test equipment? Would you like to store the test results with the inspected part's serial number or batch information?

Again, every factory is different. Some plants are more automated than others. Some have the latest control platforms running their equipment. Others may have equipment that could almost be consider obsolete. Some machines use PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers), while others may be nothing more than relay logic. Several types of RCUs exist for this reason.

Every company has its own unique characteristics. The product they produce is just one such charateristic. Their size and number of personnel can be another. Some companies can occupy a single building, while other have satelite divisions. But, who within the company will be using the system? Will access be required from a remote site? Does the company have an IT department? ProTracSys has tried to design the system so that it can be accessable. But, that access can hit road blocks. ProTracSys will be willing to work with a company to help find and remove possible road blocks.
