Unlocking Production Data from Your Sensors
|
|
|
Essential to a wide range of production equipment, discrete sensors are often used to verify the presence or position of a part or product and then trigger the next step in a production process.
But did you know that these sensors can also provide you with greater insight into cycle time, throughput, and utilization?
For example, by tracking how many times per minute a sensor is blocked, you can assess throughput on a production line.
By comparing performance over multiple lines you can identify issues and inefficiencies and then use the data to solve problems and improve processes.
Tracking trends over time enables you to predict future production levels and better understand the return you are receiving from your equipment. |

Single Sensor Solves More Applications
|
Our best-selling Q4X Series sensor solves more applications, and more challenging applications. It detects the broadest range of objects, regardless of size, shape, material, color, transparency, or reflectivity.
The superior performance offered by the Q4X, combined with its rugged build and ease of use make it a smart, reliable solution for presence/absence detection, distance and measurement, error proofing, clear object detection, and more. |
See the features & capabilities that make
the Q4X such a versatile & easy-to-use problem-solver!

Increase Conveyor Line Speed & Throughput
|
| A single distribution center may process millions of products and parcels in just one day. With so many items moving through the system, conveyor jams are bound to happen, causing delays throughout the system. |
|
|
Once a jam occurs, items can pile up quickly, making the jam harder to clear and potentially causing damage to parcels and equipment.
Staff are frequently diverted from other tasks to find the problem and get the system running again—an often time-consuming job—and unfortunately, they are often responding to a problem that does not exist. This is because the technology most frequently used to detect jams is prone to false detection. |
|
|
| Banner's Q5X jam detection sensor monitors the flow of packages and reliably identifies jams by detecting changes in signal strength and distance. This reduces false detection and delays in detecting jams, while enabling increased linespeeds and throughput. |
