Remotely Monitor and Track Machine Status with Wireless Tower Lights

Using a TL70 Modular Tower Light with a wireless radio base improves machine monitoring and overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) by expanding available data beyond the local indication a standard tower light provides.

Beyond local indication, each TL70 can provide remote status of each light module, track the cumulative time ON for each light module, count the number of times each module transitions from the OFF to ON state, and count parts. This system provides the information necessary to react quickly to system changes and drive efficiency improvements based on data that was previously unavailable.

Features and Benefits

Feature	Benefit
Feature Machine Monitoring	Benefit Monitor machine inputs with up to four tower light modules (on up to 24 tower lights) and eight states (flashing or solid for each light module)
Feature Up Time	Benefit Track cumulative ON time for each light module for both flashing or solid independently
Feature Event Counters	Benefit Count the number of times each light module transitions from OFF to ON for both flashing or solid independently
Feature Part Counting	Benefit Count parts produced or rejected using internal 32-bit register in TL70
Feature Remote Master Light	Benefit Use a master light to show combined status of all light modules
Feature Time Stamped Logging	Benefit Time stamped logging of light statuses, timers, counts, and part counts to a local SD memory card
Feature SMS Text/Email Alerts	Benefit Generate SMS text and/or email alerts based on specific events
Feature Efficiency Metrics	Benefit Produce efficiency metrics with provided data (average availability, production speed, production quality, etc.)
Feature Cloud Monitoring	Benefit Push data to Cloud webserver or PLC (via LAN or cellular connection) for remote viewing, alerting, and logging
