You might have a fair share in the
smart, internet connected devices like a wireless scanner or smart phones that
send images to the cloud or otherwise, a fitness tracking device. Your
workplace might have industrial marking
solutions’ equipment connected to ‘Industrial internet of things’; sending
performance reports and readings, alerts to technicians and managers. Some of
the devices can communicate with the others, automating a number of tasks; just
enlist smart laser marking control board.
What are Smart Laser Marking Control Boards:
Smart laser marking control board is nothing
but hardware device which can be connected to a network and can also be
connected to some other devices like PLCs i.e. Programmable Logic Controllers.
They look similar to conventional motherboards, found in personal computers.
Additionally, control boards make the lasermarking machine or system much smarter.
For instance, it is not
unconventional for manufacturers to have terminals which are dedicated to
control every piece of laser material. Therefore, any or every change in the
laser marking job has to be done at every dedicated terminal in such an
arrangement. This is not as simple as clicking buttons. The job needs to be
initiated and downloaded that can become time consuming and tedious. With smart
laser marking control boards, only one programmable logic controller can be
used to control an entire network of equipped and connected laser devices.
The innovation is most likely to
change laser marking, resulting in more efficiency of the laser. Just like you can print from a network
printer, the laser jobs to marking devices can be sent by factory workers and
all this can be done without individually configuring every device’s
workstation.
While the control boards enable to
select, download and send jobs related to marking devices, there is much more to
the story than mere hardware. Ethernet IP communications, remote APIs and
software enable the information exchange.
Advantages of Smart Laser Marking Control Boards:
The technology may be complex, but
the advantages are quite simple:
· No need to manage each marking device
through individual computers. This improves efficiency, simplifies marking and
reduces cost and energy consumption.
· Every smart control board just plugs
into the network which becomes a part of ‘Industrial internet of things’. The
control boards are a replacement to the individual personal computers so that
the marking devices can be controlled remotely. Less downtime is associated with the
laser marking jobs. http://www.heatsign.com/
