Real Time Monitoring, Cognex Explorer

Published on : Tuesday 30-11--0001

Cognex Corporation, the leader in machine vision and industrial barcode reading, offers Cognex Explorer™ Real Time Monitoring (RTM) for factory automation and logistics operations. RTM aggregates and reports trends in data captured by DataMan® barcode readers and provides instant facility-wide feedback to identify process errors, minimize no-reads, and maximise throughput.

RTM tracks trends in barcode quality, monitors configuration changes, and analyzes data from every DataMan barcode reader to quickly identify the causes of low read rates and other errors that threaten the efficiency of an operation. Easy-to-use online dashboards display configuration-based audit logs and heat maps, allowing facility and plant managers to implement immediate corrective action and optimise processes.

By providing access to network data, Cognex Explorer Real Time Monitoring supports smart factories and emerging Industry 4.0 environments. RTM can configure up to 20 DataMan readers using the familiar DataMan Setup Tool, and results can be monitored using a browser-based interface. RTM’s time-based performance statistics are viewable anywhere within a facility from a desktop, tablet, or smartphone.
