The Production Performance Monitoring (PPM) Kit is a self-contained, wireless throughput monitoring application kit. It allows facilities to increase process awareness and efficiency with a standardized method for monitoring performance. The preconfigured kit comes with a DXM1200 Controller and one Q45 all-in-one sensor node or a TL70 Node.
- Calculates line performance by comparing the actual line throughput to a user-defined ideal rate
- Allows up to 47 battery-powered Q45 all-in-one photoelectric sensor nodes or wireless TL70 Tower Light Nodes for counting up to 960 parts per minute
- Calculates the parts-per-minute rate for each sensor and gives the instantaneous rate and a daily averaged rate
- Determines the line status (running, slow, or stopped) based on user-defined throughput rates; tracks changes of event and monitors length of events
- Has user-configured alert settings for extended slow or stopped conditions
- Pushes data to Banner’s Cloud Data Services for remote viewing, generating automatic dashboards, generating alerts, and logging data. Includes 90-day trial of services
- Allows the upgrade of facility’s existing sensors with wireless communications using a TL70 node and S15 adapter
- Available in 900MHz and 2.4 GHz radio frequencies and in diffuse or retroreflective sensing modes

Wireless PPM Kits
Challenge: Identify and correct the source of reduced output in one of multiple production lines. A water bottling operation had five steps in its bottling process: Cleaning, Filling, Capping, Labeling, and Packaging. One of the plant’s production lines had a recurring problem of lower output than the other lines. The production manager wanted to identify the step, causing bottling constraints and quantify losses in the underperforming line in order to determine how to bring output up to that of the other lines. The bottling machine in question was older and had no way to monitor throughput.
