Control Points
Control points are specific areas within the camera's view used to monitor and analyze certain conditions or actions, and a single camera can handle multiple control points.
Defining these points correctly ensures efficient data collection and provides key insights to improve production metrics.
Machines:
Downtime Detection
VMES detects the operational status of machines in real time by placing control points on Andon lights, moving mechanisms, and other visual indicators. This enables downtime tracking, cost analysis, and detailed investigation of downtime causes through the platform.
Conveyors:
Monitoring
VMES can analyze the presence of products on conveyors, fixtures, and workspaces to monitor production flow.
This enables real-time tracking of stoppages and provides data to analyze their causes.
Bins:
Material Status
VMES can analyze the presence, fill level, and part placement in bins, boxes, or cases by placing control points on them. This helps prevent overflow, track scrap counts, and provide valuable data for material analysis.
Human Count
By defining a control point for a specific area, VMES can count the number of people present. This provides data to evaluate workforce utilization and support production optimization.
Hygiene Stations
VMES monitors hygiene station areas to detect and track actions like handwashing and hairnet usage. It can generate instant alerts when necessary cleaning actions are not performed, helping to ensure compliance and maintain food safety standards.
Metal Detector Monitoring
VMES tracks metal detection using light indicators where data digitization isn’t possible. It also tracks scheduled metal tests to ensure they are conducted within specified intervals, ensuring compliance and preventing risks in real time.
