Unattended
Monitoring
Unattended monitoring is a useful tool
for measuring long term system performance, detecting intermittent
failures, and monitoring operational procedures for each shift.
Unattended monitoring can be connected either through the modem
or Internet. Unattended monitoring is not part of Pass Connect or
Pass Prepaid Hours but can be ordered separately. Some of the benefits
include:
- Monitor long term
performance: Monitor the effects
of IBC related process conditions such as bubble stability, blower
speeds and system response.
- Detect intermittent
failures: Monitor system components
such as sensors, and main processor for possible intermittent
component failure.
- Monitor shift operation:
Monitor the operational procedures such as startups and job changes
to help determine possible operator error or help provide operational
consistency from shift to shift.
After monitoring is completed, a summary
report will be provided along with a .csv file that can be imported
into a Microsoft Excel file and further analyzed.
